There is also one called White Christmas that is similar, but the leaves appear to be much wider than your picture.

I believe you are right on White Cristmas. My plants leaves are fuller to the heart of the plant.

it may be helpful if we knew where you got the plant?
I had the understanding that white elephant was mass produced some time back for big box stores, I read that somewhere, but gossipish I guess cause I don't remember where now, ...
