WHY IS IT CALLED DIRTY SANTA ANYWAY?

Gift exchanges played in the south are generally called Dirty Santa. Why do they call it Dirty Santa, you ask? What?!? Ewww! NO! Get your mind out of the gutter! It’s called Dirty Santa because of all the stealing! 

You see, folks in the south seem like laid back, front porch sittin’, sweet tea drinkin’ precious little sweethearts. But they do get riled up about a few things: namely football, hunting, and holiday gift exchanges. It’s true. If you have never witnessed Grandpa pry a spa kit out of your cousin Kelly’s arms only to watch her end up with a leopard skinned steering wheel cover then you are probably not having as much fun as we are. Likely you’re playing a more benign version like White Elephant or Yankee Swap (we sell those too, by the way).

Unlike other gift exchanges where the point is to bring a funny or useless gift, Dirty Santa gifts tend to be a mix of gifts that are pretty awesome and pretty not awesome. The awesome gifts get stolen faster than cheese pizza slices at the McAllister house. And the not awesome gifts collect dust along with the hopes and dreams of those who opened them.

If you think this sounds stressful, you should proceed to our White Elephant product. But if you’re like us and your family’s love language is competition, then go ahead and add this to your cart right now.

WHY IS IT CALLED A WHITE ELEPHANT ANYWAY?

Hundreds of years ago in Thailand and other Asian countries, the white elephant was considered to be a holy being. But, the upkeep of this animal was difficult and outrageous to say the least. They required special food, holy housing, and all sorts of special treatment (Kind of like your mother-in-law). So much in fact, that the only person who could afford a white elephant was a king. The death of a white elephant spelled serious DISASTER, so these animals were pretty pampered pets. The origin of the white elephant gift began when ancient kings would become extremely displeased with their assistants. They would gift a white elephant to the assistant. At first, this was seen to be a great honor. But soon, this crippled the assistant by the huge financial burden that came with the white elephant. Hence, when we give obnoxious, silly gifts of little value, we call them WHITE ELEPHANT GIFTS!

Note: The White Elephant Party Kit is not a white elephant gift. Well, technically, it is, but not in the sense we just told you about. White Elephant gifts are traditionally terrible, but this White Elephant gift is awesome. There’s a difference. It’s subtle, but you’re smart.

SolidRoots’ White Elephant Party Kit will be the hit of every holiday party it’s invited to. You’re inviting us, right? Cause that’s pretty mean if you’re not.

Why is it called Yankee Swap?

Gift exchanges are obviously our favorite tradition, and who knows more about tradition than the fabulous people in the upper right side of the map? Yankee Swaps have been taking place since Ben Franklin traded his kite for a can of Martha’s cherry preserves. (We’re told that same year John Adams went home with a wooden squirrel figurine. “That package was deceptively heavy!” was all he kept saying as the rest of the forefathers scoffed at him.)

It’s true, our friends in New England began the tradition of exchanging things they no longer needed for something more useful. Useful is still the keyword in any Yankee Swap situation. While the rest of the country is jokingly wrapping up ugly cat socks or Justin Bieber pot holders, our savvy northern friends are more likely to give you something to dig your car out of the snow or a pocket knife. (Or if you are Michael Scott, an iPod.)

Folks east of the Mississippi are like “we can have fun but let’s not get crazy”. They keep it classy and functional and add their own pinch of holiday spirit. But just remember; you’re not always guaranteed a good gift in a Yankee Swap. There was that wooden squirrel incident…
