random word of the day: SECRET SANTA – tajemniczy
Mikołaj (a Christmas tradition in which friends, classmates or co-workers draw names out of a hat and then they
are supposed to anonymously buy a gift for the person whose name they have got)
(1) We are doing Secret Santa at work this year,
spending £15. I'm at a loss at what
to buy the lady I picked out. I
haven't worked there long so don't know everyone that well yet. She's in her mid-40s. Throw some ideas at me please!
(2) We’ve been doing Secret Santa in our family for
years now. What a relief it was to
stop running around like crazy people trying to buy presents for each other –
especially when we lack nothing!
(3) When you have a Secret Santa at school, the
teachers always think that everyone keeps
their person secret, but by the
end, everybody knows who’s got who.
(4) The best Secret Santa gifts are those gifts chosen
with an open heart and the desire to
make someone's holiday a little brighter and more special.

is nothing we need and don’t have.)
