DCS is going to do something completely obvious, yet unpredictable. <br><br>But:<br> Stephan gets Felicia<br> The Zebra teacher gets involved somehow<br> I have no idea

Never really been fond of the concept of Secret Santas. At best they cause a false generoisty and the extension of the cheapness of gift getting.<br><br>At worst they pressurise people into situations they can ill afford to be in, due to quite literal lack of funds. Plus the system within a grade school is highly manipulatable. As I say. I don't like the concept of secret santas.

YAY.

[Muninn]

Could someone enlighten me as to what Secret Santas are?

[DHLawrence]

It's common in offices and classrooms. Everybody draws a name out of a hat, and they have to get a gift for that person.

[Gizensha]

As I said, however, it's one of the worst concepts ever, and only heightens how thaughtless and commercialised the process of gift-giving at Christmas has become.

[Muninn]

Thanks for the info.

I've done that in my class when I was 10. I thought it was a good idea. To me, it meant trying to know more about someone you wouldn't have bought a present for elsewhere. i actually became friends with the boy who was my secret santa, and gave me a small chess game. Nobody gave something expensive (the one he gave me was not only a travel version, but an old one). I was very happy with that gift. I gave a thing that you turn and there is snow falling, but one I built myself with a jam jar and a lego tree inside, and I don't remember all of it, but I was very happy with what I did. So was the person I gave it to.
