Tonight I'm going to a party about 6 blocks from home.  It's the usual group of friends, a really nice group of people I truly enjoy being with.  We're doing a pot luck, will have dinner of some sort and will be doing our annual white elephant which is always extremely funny.   I got one of the awful traveling trophies last year, and must go find it and wrap it.  There are usually some good gifts, but I tend to take home the true white elephants.
