Happy Hanukkah to you

My friends and I had a Hanukkah/Christmas/Winter holiday party to ourselves last night.

White elephant gifts exchanged:
-A box full of condoms and lube
-A giant Twilight poster and a campus bookstore giftcard specifying it was to be used on an academic book not related to the recipient's area of study
-A fuzzy purple stuffed animal making sproinging noises
-A cat bank with a fur coat
-A bottle of mint shampoo and a pair of used textbooks the previous owner couldn't get rid of
-A pack of Model Magic and a coupon for a Russian song (from Tiny Russian Friend)
-A magnetic wind-up car that rolls up the side of the fridge
-An inflatable unicorn, a plastic jellyfish, and a color-changing rubber duck.

Rounds of dreidel played with Tiny Colored Chocolate Candies: 8
Rounds of dreidel played by replacing chocolate with the taking off of clothes: 27
Highest number of pants worn by one person: 5
Roommates who walked in by accident and were very confused: 1
Hanukkah candles burned: 2
Christmas songs sung: 13
Fish buried: 1 (poor Theo, he has been lounging around in Crazy Redhead and Sunglasses' freezer for over a month now.)

Notable non-white elephant gifts:
-Ray Comfort voodoo doll
-Homemade Piranhamoose
-Handmade nautilus
-Neuron stuffed animal(?)

Sign held by a homeless person: "When you're as crazy as I am, you know who your true friends are."

Very taken with the White Elephant game. Even more taken with the magnetic wind-up car that rolls up the side of the fridge. That's the gift I want to win.
