The White Elephant Ornament by Old World Christmas is made of glass, white elephants were sacred to royalty in Southeast Asia, and are still regarded as a sign that the monarch reigns with power. The history of the White Elephant comes from Thailand; the king gave albino elephants to courtiers who displeased him, so that the cost of keeping the animal would ruin the person. But in today's times, it has become the name of a tradition at parties, called the white elephant gift exchange, where guests gather to exchange impractical or extravagant gifts.
