My memory may be fuzzy though. Reminds me of an episode of The Office where Secret Santa turns into the stealing gift game when the boss sees a gift he likes. My memory may be fuzzy though.

Although, I have to say, I like the stealing gift thing. Our limit is only $10 - you have to become creative in your shopping for that amount. But it makes for a great time to eat and laugh, break up the office monotony. No curtailing here! :) We’re doing the Secret Santa this year. Although, I have to say, I like the stealing gift thing.

Ive noticed recently that ever since I started listening to a Christmas radio station in the office I am much more happier/in the holiday mood. Hopefully I get something I will like by my Secret Santa! I actually am spearheading our Secret Santa this year.

It was brought up in regards to our Christmas party this Friday, but haven't seen anything since then. I abhor the game and idea. "Hey, let me go spend $20 on random crap that no one wants, so I can get $20 in crap that I don't want!" Great idea... :-\ We call it “Dirty Santa” around here — when you steal the items.

I always ignore those emails as I really don't enjoy participating - it just seems forced. People don't seem to be quite as enthusiastic about it this year.
