So in a panic the Elf-In-Charge says @#$% there's no gift for "C". So I say "here!" and hand over my already-wrapped emergency (just in case you forgot someone) gift.
We pretend this is her gift, and she never knows, until someone remembers who had her name (someone from the evening staff who was at last nights party), and remembers seeing a gift with that givers name (albeit a different recipient) on the tag. We assume the giver just got the recipient's name wrong -
So now sheepishly the ELF-IN-Charge and I give the actual (or so we think) gift to "C" with an explanation and appologies and "Oh no, no need to give back the other gift) and all seems well.
Untill - "C" goes to her employee mail box and finds a gift certificate to her from that giver!!!!! Now, if your following the story, "C" has three gifts!!!
At the mention for the 20th time of the givers name, a memory stirs in one on the afternoon teachers who claims that the second gift we gave "C" is really one she was holding for a student!!!!
Now we quickly take gift #2 back from "C" - rewrap it - and pass it on to the student (who is clueless that any of this went on).
So .... anyway .... that was our entertainment today at the party.
