Reply to comment by Kazureigh_Black in I wrapped our white elephant gifts in the shape of toilet and a giant plunger. by LeftClique

In the West, the term "white elephant", relating to an expensive burden that fails to meet expectations, was first used in the 17th century and became widespread in the 19th century.

Unless you can find a usage of "dirty santa" from before 1600, I think you are just late to the party.
