We do it on our family every year.  I think it is will be fun to get a secret santa again this year.

yes, i do, but i'm not a fan because sometimes there are cheap people in the draw and I always hope I don't get them. When you take effort to find a gift in a good price range and you only get back a pair of socks or some chocolate, it sucks!!!

Where I come from we don't call it secret santa. We call it gift exchange.

Yes, I have done secret Santa a couple times.  Something our local Lions Club does each year is a Secret Santa gift exchange....with a twist.  Everyone purchases one real gift and one gag gift then they do an auction and the members bid on the gifts.  It's a yearly fund raiser which is a lot of fun.  The evening is full of lots of laughs and raises money for the next years Christmas party.

I did one time in high school with my close group of friends and it was a lot of fun. I would love to do it again but i just dont have the time.

We're doing secret santa in three of my classes in school. It should be interesting. I've never done it before this year.

an idea to make it easier next year...  we did Secret Santa at work last year.  They had us write our name on a piece of paper along with three things we like, so the person that would draw a  name had three "clues" to work with.    It relieved alot of the stress if we got the name of someone we didn't know very well.    :)

Our family used to do it, but for some reason we stopped. My siblings and I still give gifts to mom and dad though.

I know people who do, but I've never felt the urge to participate in it.

I used to do it as a kid believe it or not for my siblings. But all the gifts I have were poorly done homemade gifts.
