Only time I did it was for school, I didn't really like it lol..
Wbu? Have you ever done it before?
Also early Merry Christmas to everyone! ❤️💚 I won't be that active the upcoming days since I'm going to help my mom prepare everything.

Hi, you don’t know me but I thought I’d leave an opinion. One of my ex girlfriends was definitely a secret satan! She was without a doubt the offspring of the devil! She had really bushy hair and I told her when we broke up, this is what I told her, so listen! I said, “Now I know why your hair is so bushy! It’s to hide your devil horns”! That was good, wasn’t it? I sure told her! Yeah, sure, I cried and begged her to take me back an hour later but in that moment, I had her! So, yes, I loved a secret satan at one time!
I’m starting to think I have some type of undiagnosed learning disability. Would that be problem for you? If your boyfriend is a dummy?
God Bless you! What’s not to love about you!
Well, back to reality! Just a lonely dummy!
You’re such a tease! I love it!
I dont mind it , all in good fun , received a couple of okey things..
BUT some , take it far too seriously.. I was at one time in my life State Sales Manager for Bic ( Our immediate opposition was Gillette ) , my boss was called National Sales Director , he took some things EXTREMELY seriously , the secret Santa in the office you had to spend $5 or $10 can't quite recall , but whoever got Mr Gs name , purchased him a packet of Gillette razors , when he opened the gift ( Im laughing writing this ) he was so angry , he threw the razors in the bin and went out muttering , I literally had to go outside , to just laugh so hard at his reaction !
We never found out who had his name :) So there are potential risks - hahahahahaha , but I thought it was hilarious , whoever did it - Thankyou.
Yes I love. Last time my secret Santa was my coworker, he got me a lot of presents and the huge teddy bear, that bear is even taller than me.
I carried it to my room and could barely walk. 🐻
That was really sweet oh him, that Teddy bear slept next to me for a while.
@molonski2 We have revealing at the end of it, you don’t know for a whole month. Every week one gift is put on your desk, the last one is the biggest gift. So that was mine. And I was honestly very happy, my gift was the best one in the office
And as the identity revealed and it was him, I was even happier cause he was very cute.
@LaFemmeFatale_1 He wasn’t dating you and he splurged on that? So at what point do they have special occasions over there if they’re showering each other over there in a country where many can’t responsibly afford something like that?
Those boys are thirsty as fuck over there. I feel for them, though. I imagine a lot of them despise their parents for putting this kind of pressure on them. Don’t know when to say no. The average Chinese boy in our demographic would be justified to hate their parents on a Maury or Jerry Springer episode.
I would have probably regifted or donated that to the GoodWill or Salvation Army and been dismissive with whoever gave me that unless they did it as an in office prank or something, not as a romantic gesture from someone I wasn’t involved with. We have a racist saying for that here in the states, but it doesn’t make it any less true, an Indian giver.
No, I don’t enjoy bringing this up. I feel like I’m telling my niece she can’t have popcorn, her favorite snack, before bed because she didn’t finish her dinner. Or my sister that I won’t visit because I have other obligations.
He wasn’t Chinese. I have dated men of up to 10 nationalities. Why do you assume he was Chinese? He was Georgian.
I have dated: Georgian, British, Russian, Ukrainian, American, Chinese, Swedish, German, Dutch men.
And have been asked out by the men of all inhabited continents. It’s not like I only date Chinese.
It was my incorrect assumption based on your locale.
I don’t think nationality should matter. I wouldn’t do something like that, and I’m American.
@LaFemmeFatale_1 My point on their nationality is that it puts undue pressure on them. They have funny ways of being “honorable” by making children pay for parent’s sins.
Not specific to your story, again, because of my bad assumption.
@love_conquers_lust No, no… Stop it. You’re being lowkey racist now.
@LaFemmeFatale_1 You really believe a racist would try to put themselves in the shoes of someone they hate?
It’s been my experience that truly bigoted people fear those that are different from them. Fear of the unknown. Whereas I try to understand them.
Don’t mistake me, either. When I recognize their humanity, that means I recognize that they can be flawed and are just as capable of doing good AND bad. Such as overspending on embarrassingly obnoxious gifts that should be coming from a spouse.
@love_conquers_lust I know why he did that.
He was the only guy in our office and I assumed my secret Santa was a girl. Because we had like 20 girls and one guy.
He might have had a tiny crush on me.
But that’s jot the case. We gave secret gifts each week and then we shared our impressions in the group chat.
Week prior Christmas I received a little Winnie Pooh, similar to this
I usually am very expressive about my feelings and I thought that gift was so cute I wrote a text in the group chat
“Today I received this adorable Winnie Pooh feom my Secret Santa. I don’t know who you are but thank you for making my day. Now I know what I will sleep with tonight 😚”
I meant I would sleep with Winnie Pooh from now on.
I think he was encouraged by my positive feedback and got me a bigger stuffed animal to sleep with haha
@LaFemmeFatale_1 He was surrounded by girls and still felt the need to splurge?
It’s also been my experience when gender ratios are skewd the other way, some girls will spoil the the few guys in the office if they’re desirable. Girls are human too.
And since we’re sharing, I put a life sized turquoise Warthog I won at some amusement park on my ex’s bed as a surprise. I believe she’d called me a pig before so I figured she could snuggle up to an obnoxiously large one that took up her whole bed. Her Mom thought it was funny, they both did.
When I worked a job where I was outnumbered by females, a couple were unusually nice to me. The one that hated me was a Muslim woman who hated when I pointed out her mistakes, I SPECULATE she was Arabic, but I never verified. It’s not good work etiquette to ask and it’s not necessary for me to know when working alongside them, despite what some bull shit DEI training advocates will claim. She was perfectly capable despite her immutable characteristics.
Yea we did it in hs. I didn't really like it lol merry Christmas 🎄

How many times can we recycle a fruitcake and a cocoa mug? The pain of this nicer concept is finding something that is "inoffensive" to all/most people. Put cocoa in a mug? What if they are lactose intolerant? Cakes? What if they have gluten allergies? The list goes on. I would rather receive a handwritten note with a pleasant thought on it.
Well I like the concept. But I've always opted out of it unless someone gave me the money to spend. 🤣🤣
hopefully I get one this Christmas...
yes... that sounds like fun
not the best when the secret santa was NOT one of your closer friends... lmao
I think I got school stuff every time... that I didn't even use
not cool...
I would have gotten you that body pillow...
It's only fun when I get a gift I like. The surprise of it makes it interesting until opening up the presents.
I feel like every time I do it I get some good that I don’t even know, so it’s hard instead of fun
*some goof
I'm honestly not a fan. I prefer just giving gifts to the people I wanna give gifts to. Especially when it comes to work. Like don't make me draw Karen's name for Secret Santa. Just let me spend my money on a bottle of booze.
I can't remember ever doing Secret Santa at school or work. But that's okay with me.
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
🌲
Sounds like an easy way to get ripped off if you ask me, imagine buying someone a car trying to be the best and they buy you socks 😂
They can keep their secret Santa lol
I personally hate it. I always ended up with the name of someone I barely know. aking it difficult to get them a gift.
I've only done secret Santa once, it was at work. It's hard work buying for a work colleague lol
Family did it. Everyone got assigned someone. It was okay.
No, not after some asshole in 6th grade gave me a demon necklace.
Yeah, some kid gave me a demon necklace and some weird/dark shit started happening. I mean, it wasn't like Emetyville, but it unleashed this dark energy
It's fun but depending on where your doing it or how acclimated you are with people it can be a little awkward or difficult to get some people a gift. Especially if u don't know them
yeah I’m not a fan neither lol, Merry Christmas 😎
I dont' celebrate Christmas but it sure seems more fun than White Elephant (Yankee swap).
It's like you form a circle with a bunch of people who buy gifts. Then you can either choose a gift from someone else or steal someone elses gift. And you keep playing until there are no more gifts left. And then once the game is over you get to leave with the gift you had last. This sitcom American tv show short clip explains it well.

Haha yeah. It can backfire on you. Secret Santa I feel can be fun as long as you never find out who gave you the gift. Cause I feel as an adult if someone gives you a gift, especially a stranger or even somewhat of a friend then you would feel guilty and you would want to get them a gift back. But if you don't know who your secret Santa is then you would just have to accept the present which makes it more fun and seem more genuine.
Yeah with the right people Secret Santa is awesome XD
Not a big fan of secret Santa but do enjoy Yankee gift swaps
Yeah we did it recently at my job and I hated it.
Also Merry Christmas to you as well!
@OnlyMeee the fact that I'm buying a gift for someone I don't know very well. What if I get them something offensive?
@Simslover92 the very same went through my mind too so I totally understand, it's hard enough buying for family never mind a work colleague
@OnlyMeee yes it was perhaps the hardest gift I had to find. The person I had was a girl but not girly at all so that made things complicated.
Lol same here
Lol 😂 😆 🤣
Merry Christmas Lisia 🎅 🎄
What would you get me? Just curious
Lmao so my secret Santa gift would be a warm pizza?
🤣 everyone's gift is nicely wrapped and mine just comes in a pizza box 🤣🤣
Aw so thoughtful, I'll get you Loki Jr and it'll be wrapped in its cage squawking away so you'll know what it is. Hard to keep birds quiet 🤣
He also comes with bird treats
Do you think he'd get along with another bird?
I'm a jealous boy too
They might get all the attention
I'm not? 😭🥺
So only your child gets the attention? Cold 🥶
I suppose that's allowable
I'll just get a cat then, problem solved 🤣
