We would like to invite all ladies of the Holland-America Club to join us for the
“Annual White Elephant Party”.
We also would like to invite the ladies of Diana's support group to join in the festivities.
The host this year is Myriam Delhij.
The term “White Elephant” possibly originated in Thailand, where white elephants are sacred. The King of Thailand had the right to take every white elephant and replace it with a grey elephant. The recipient had to honor this exchange and keep the grey
elephant alive no matter the cost. Therefore, traditional “White Elephant gifts” are often inconvenient gifts that nobody wants.
At the “White Elephant Party” of the Holland-America Club the original rules have been changed. We don’t trade elephants or inconvenient gifts; we play the game the American way. Part of the fun is “stealing” the gift from somebody else !
Koffie en Thee rond de Kerst
(Coffee and Tea at Christmas time)
Everybody who would like to attend is asked to bring a gift for the gift exchange and a “festive” appetizer to
share .This year the Theme is “Koffie en Thee rond de Kerst”. The price range for the
gift is $15 to $20. Try to be creative and bring a gift that you would like to receive as well.
Address of the event: Myriam Delhij,
3605 Mount Vernon Way,
Plano, Tx 75025
