we
did
secret
santa
at
work
last
Christmas
.
The
rules
were
that
we
could
not
spend
more
than
$
20
and
we
had
to
get
at
least
one
gift
for
each
of
four
days
.
We
also
had
to
either
leave
clues
about
ourselves
or
select
gifts
that
would
suggest
who
the
secret
santa
was
.
I
turned
it
into
a
treasure
hunt
.
I
got
four
bottles
of
Stewart's
Root
Beer
from
Borders
(
they
have
screw
top
caps
)
and
drank
them
.
I
took
some
rough
packing
paper
and
a
calligraphy
pen
and
made
little
message
scrolls
to
put
in
each
bottle
with
directions
to
the
other
prizes
.
I
got
some
costume
jewelry
and
Mardi Gras
beads
from
Dollar
World
and
some
foil
covered
chocolate
coins
for
one
prize
.
Then
I
got
Treasure
Island
from
Borders
for
another
.
Then
I
got
the
new
animated Sinbad
movie
for
the
third
(
good
deal
at
Suncoast).
Finally
,
I
burned
a
CD
with
very
specific
songs
which
turned
out
to
be
the
one
prize
that
ID'd
me
.
It
was
great
.
Now
everyone
wants
me
to
be
their
secret
santa
next
year
.

realistic optimist
i
was
so
broke
this
year
,
and
was
distraught
that
perhaps
i
might
not
be
able
to
afford
a
decent
gift
for
the
person
about
whom
i
knew
nothing
.
luckily,
i
placed
in
a
six
month
quake
tournament
and
won
an
amazon
.com
gift
certificate
,
with
which
i
was
able
to
purchase
a
gift
for
my
secret
santa
(including shipping
and
gift
wrapping)
as
well
as
an
import
album
of
mine
which
keeps
getting
lent
out
(
sometimes
involuntarily
)
from
the_verve
for
myself
! (:
