Sure, Mariah Carey is the Queen of Christmas, but theres one seasonal pastime shes clueless about.

The All I Want For Christmas Is You singer was unaware of white elephant parties until a reporter for People explained them to her during an interview about her thoughts on various Christmas traditions.

Carey drew a blank when asked about white elephant parties, which, for the uninitiated, are parties where people trade bizarre, tacky or unwanted gifts with each other.

However, her response was sort of a gift in itself.

I dont know of said White Elephant Gift Party. Can you tell me about it? Carey asked.

Once the reporter explained the concept, Carey admitted she had never participated in one, but added, Im always looking for a new game. Somethings fun, its good.

However, she didnt seem to be a fan of secret Santa gift exchanges.

Its just like, why? I dont know, she said.

Perhaps she just has other things to focus in December. Her holiday hit All I Want For Christmas Is You is currently the No. 2 song in the country, after Brenda Lees Rocking Around The Christmas Tree .

In addition, her Merry Christmas One and All! tour is set to wrap up on Dec. 17.

If Carey decides to add a white elephant gift exchange to this years celebrations, she might find some ideas in the gallery below.
