When we were discussing the Secret Santa game, a wild idea hit me suddenly. As per the rules of the game, the names of all the members are written in a chit and everyone picks one chit. Whoever's name is on the chit, we have to buy gifts for that person for 4 weeks without letting that person guess who is giving him the gift.
Well, I thought that I would buy gifts for all and keep them secretly on the staff table and keep them guessing who this Santa is.
The first week I bought chocolates for all, wrapped it nicely, wrote the names of all the members and left it on the table. Everyone was so baffled about them. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The next week I gifted pens and writing pads. People concluded that somebody must have misunderstood the rule and therefore out of sheer misunderstanding was giving gifts to all of us instead of just one person.
Mz commented 'Look, it is very unfortunate that someone of us is giving gifts to all of us. I have been taught from my family that if anyone gives me something I must try to return his gift in another way. I feel so bad that I don't even know who is giving me gifts. He must be spending such a lot of money..'
Everybody suspected As, the manager but she swore again and again that she is not this person. So everyone is still guessing.
This week on the 10th of December we have the staff party in a restaurant where the final gifts will be given out and identity revealed. I have decided that I will go before hand to the restaurant, meet the manager, hand him my bag of final gifts and request him to present that bag to our table when we are about to finish our dinner. This will throw an ever bigger surprise to people and all the enjoyment to me.
How I would love to see their faces....!
