Secret Santas

Have you ever been part of a Secret Santa gift exchange?

Here's a link about the concept if it's unfamiliar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Santa

Personally I've never done it, at least not the "secret" aspect. My extended family used to do something similar when we were younger, but it was never anonymous.

Bumping this thread up for the current year of 2009 so some of our newer members (and older ones too) can express their views/opinions on this holiday topic.


Has anyone ever participated in something like this?

I think more people and more families may be doing something like this for Christmas this year since the economy is so bad. What do you think?

Never done this. I wonder if there are still Secret Santa's?
