~ Kris Kringles ~

23 December 2003

this is what i got for the Kris Kringles in the office: a box of chocolate and the hat. i’ll be wearing the hat all day today.

Kris Kringles is the same as Secret Santa, which is a gift exchange activity. write all your co-workers’ names in small pieces of papers, put it in a hat. ask each of them to pull one piece of paper from the hat, and buy a gift for the person whose name written on the paper you pulled.

by the way, does anyone know why people in Melbourne call it Kris Kringles rather than a Secret Santa?

hey we have the same tradition @ work. We draw names and we exchange gifts.gag gift that is. it has to be hand made. and it’s supposed to make fun of the other person too.

The Pensylvanian Dutch who first introduced the concept of “Santa Claus” to the US called him Kris Kringle….
