    Regift-A-Palooza!!!!!

    You’ve heard of a White Elephant gift exchange, right? Well, we here at Mox Boarding House are putting our own twist on it! REGIFT-A-PALOOZA is a Green Elephant gift exchange! What’s the difference between a Green Elephant exchange and a White Elephant exchange? You don’t need to buy a new gift! The point of our REGIFT-A-PALOOZA is to regift something you got this past holiday season that left you less-than-dazzled. This way, someone else gets that third copy of Splendor, or whatever you don’t have a particular need for, and you leave with something shiny and new!GREEN ELEPHANT RULES:At the beginning of the event, everyone will draw a number from a hat (NOTE: Might not literally be a hat).Whoever goes first will pick a gift from the pool of gifts, and open it.Each subsequent person can eit
