It’s that time of the year again. Red is in vogue, candy canes are flying around and people are getting drunk off Santa Jizz, otherwise known as eggnog. That means that your office just might be preparing a Christmas luncheon, party or the ever fun Secret Santa gift exchange.
When it comes to office bullshit, Secret Santas have for a long time been the bane of existence for any person who consistently gets stuck with the cheap ass in the office or the local humbug. Being a part time humbug myself, it’s no surprise that I’m not a big fan of the whole Secret Santa thing unless it’s someone I care about. What tends to happen in this fun little dynamic is that someone will get someone who blows as a Secret Santa, while others get someone who rules. Or that’s how it’s supposed to be.
In reality, the whole Secret Santa thing has become nothing more than just your company’s official Office Gift Card exchange. This means that technically you could have spent $25 -$30 on yourself without the need for theatrics or the interjections of the local supervisor who has to get all smarmy with their corporate reach around speech. But otherwise, things wouldn’t be corporate enough, would they.
If your office environ is actually enjoyable, then Secret Santas are actually a fun little way of getting that much closer and doing cute little things puppy lovers would do. If however you reside in a place that’s more akin to the places where I’ve worked at, then you’d just rather call in sick for the entire month of December.
So to all those who love these merry days, may your Secret Santa be a cookie sniffing, 25% tipping wonder.
Cheers
