Secret Santa Game

What is the Poem to the Neighborhood Secret Santa game? It is called "Snowed" or a "Snowball Fight"?
For years we have secretly gifted each other much like the Halloween "Boo". We've called it being "Snowed" or a "Snowball Fight". We even sprinkled a bit of fake snow on the ground around the gifts...I cant find the poem this year and the Secret Santa poems just dont fit. Has anyone heard of it?

Will Muslims participate in a "Secret Santa" game?
Since i heard that Muslims do NOT celebrate Christmas.... Are they able to play the Secret Santa game where everyone exchanges presents? I'm planning to host a Secret santa game at my school. Will this work out of 50% of the people at my school are muslim? Will they play or not? What if i changed the game's name to "Secret Snowflake" or something that does NOT have "Santa..Christmas...etc.." in it? Would that work?

Have you ever played the game "SECRET SANTA"?
you get a bunch of your friends to play. you write their names on a piece of paper, you fold it & choose a strip randomly. whoever you get you're their secret sana. OK. so I have this friend & i'm his secret santa. He's 14 he absolutely adores his new PS3. I want to buy him a new PS3 video game [ special editon ] but it's $120. I just don't know if it's worth it. Should I buy him something else? If so any suggestions? Thanks. I really appreciate it. :]

hmm..imthinking:Wow, that is REALLY generous- Secret Santa is usually much lower a level of spending, you should have established the amount of money you can spend first- that is actually the fun part of the game... ie: no one can spend more than $30... it actually makes you a bit more creative with the gift and fu...

is this a good gift idea for secret santa? (for a guy)?
We are having a secret santa game at my work and I need stocking stuffer ideas before I get the final gift. I know the guy I got loves to work out and his favorite candy is skittles, so I was thinking about doing a stocking stuffer with a waterbottle filled with skittles and a few scratch off lotto cards and maybe a burned cd of good work out songs, how does this sound?

tbarnes_22:I like the CD idea, it's cute and all but people don't often have CD players working out anymore. It's more of an mp3 thing now, you know? But if you happen to know he uses CD's go for it. I like the other ideas though.... More...

Games for Secret Santa Office Party?
We have done the traditional Secret Santa theme this year. We all picked names and know who we are buying for. My questions is, to make it a little more fun, what game can we play when it is time to open them. I don't want to play the "steal the present" game. Any suggestions?

Felix S:Does the person in the end know who there secret santa is? One year we played bingo at our work and we each had to buy 3 presents under 10 dollars for the prizes so you wrap your prizes that you bought and put it on a table no one knows who bought what or who is getting what.

Secret Santa Odds?
If you are doing a Secret Santa gift game with 25 people, what are the odds of picking your own name? Let's assume everyone writes their own name on a slip of paper, tosses it into a hat, and then everyone pulls a name from the hat. What are the total odds that one of the 25 people would pull their own name from the hat? TO CLARIFY: I am asking the odds that when all 25 people open their slips of paper, what is the likelihood that ANY ONE of them has pulled their own name. Not the odds for any

Andy J:This is one of the harder counting problems I've seen. I did a computer simulation of up to 14 people so I could verify my answer. It took a while to think through how to solve it analytically. I'll work at it from the opposite direction: find the probability of nobody picking their own name. Then ... More...

I need a poem, for a Secret Santa...?
I am looking for a nice sweet poem, for Secret Santa on a Games Forum (Nintendo to be exact.) There is no gift, just a letter or poem to the person via Personal Messenger, so it will need to be nice and thoughtful. Thanks in advance. ~Holly

What is the Jewish version of "Secret Santa?"?
I'm hosting a "Secret Santa" event for a group that includes a significant number of Jewish people. How can I title the game so as to make it appropriate for the group? (I have seen Yahoo Answers dealing with this issue before, but the chosen answer was "still use Secret Santa" which isn't very helpful, as one of the Jewish participants I asked said that he would be offended by the title.)

JustJoe:Santa is not a religious figure but you don't have to give gifts in the Secret Santa way (to a specific person) either. You can have everyone bring in a gift and put them on a table; then make little "tickets" numbered with however many people are participating/gifts there are (say 12 people, so 12 ... More...

Secret santa.... should I draw a card for him or just get him a gift?
At school i'm playing a game of Secret Santa and I have to get a $4 - $5 gift for this guy. I know who he is ... but i've never talked to him, never really see him around, he's never been in my class etc... I heard he's a really nice guy though and i'm wondering, should i draw a card to go along with the gift? Or just leave it as a gift? Thanks. I personally love drawing cards and on it I would just write: "Merry xmas, from your secret santa". Then draw a pic or something simple. But since

Samantha:In my opinion, if you enjoy drawing anyways and you have the time for it, I would definitely draw one. It shows the the present was more personalized than just something thrown together and is a nice gesture for a Merrily Christmas! =]... More...

I would like to give a wine-themed gift, and so will spend $20 on cute coasters, corkscrew, etc. I have a bottle of wine that I will never drink (I'm not a wine-drinker), so I would like to give the bottle of wine with the gift - but then the actual value of the gift would be over $20, even though I only spent $20.

What are good gift ideas that begin with the letter O, P, & E?
Need to be gifts that are in the 5-10 dollars. It is a secret santa game we do at our work every year. Its fun. We choose a four letter word that is associated to christmas and get a gift to the person's name we draw everyday without them figuring out who their secret santa is and on the fourth day we have a luncheon and play can you guess who you secret santa is and reveal to them if that didn't know.

Secret Santa to someone you hate?
My boyfriend and I work at the same place. Well, I was really sick so he went to get me some food where we work. The girl working asked him why he wasnt at college because it was the big OSU michigan game. And he said he would rather be here with me to watch the game. She told him she didnt know why he was with me anyways. he could do so much better than me because i was fat and ugly. Now, she has had this big crush on him since he started working here. And she meant her as being the better. Not

mykatesmom:Your boyfriend is with you, not her, so there is not really any good reason for you to be snotty and mean to her even if she is rude to you. Just buy a gift as though it was for someone you didn't know well, get over it and be the better person. Acting immaturely will only reflect badly on YOU.... More...
