Holiday Stress Level Lowered: We’re Trying This Secret Santa Site for Gift Giving ThIs Year.

I was reluctant when my son suggested we do one Secret Santa present for Christmas rather than our usual gift exchange. Then I thought about it. None of us needs more stuff. But I’d miss the fun of opening presents. 

So after opening our Secret Santa presents, we’re doing a white elephant exchange, the kind where you steal presents because nothing captures the holiday spirit better than grabbing a gift out of a loved one’s hands.

We used DrawNames.com, which allows you to make a wish list and exclude people (we didn’t want couples to draw each other’s names.)
