Family Feud: The ‘White Elephant’ Controversy
In a Christmas gathering that saw 40 family members come together, a game of ‘White Elephant’ quickly turned into a hotbed of controversy. Siblings Amy and Ben devised a clever strategy to secure their desired gifts – a quilt and a 32-set of stainless cutlery. However, their tactics sparked a heated debate among the family, with some arguing that they’d manipulated the system and ruined the ‘spirit’ of the game. Two weeks later, the family is still divided over the issue. The parents are left wondering whether they should have intervened, or if their kids were just playing smart. What’s your take on this festive fiasco?

Kids outsmarted family in ‘White Elephant’ game. NTA!

NTA and…f**k the “spirit”…they are both kids…they played the game made by the adults and followed the rules. True they schemed and etc, but the again…the cousins did that too. They are just complaining because they lost. Regardless of what happened i think the true a**holes there are the ones thinking you should stop the child from winning their game. + the sore losers are actual adults(20s) like…cmmon man…

Hilarious white elephant tradition beats cutthroat gift exchange. Oh, NTA!

Fair game and no a**holes – a win for everyone!
