I managed Secret Santa for the first time in 2023. I personally love it, and I’m happy to manage it again this year if there’s interest. Anyone?

I’d be up for it. We did one here several years ago and I still have some of the gifts I received.

OK, I just started a new thread called “2024 Secret Santa is on!” Please let me know over there if you want to participate.

**Czarcasm** , I think we used to have a spending limit, but nobody followed it anyway. I feel 100% confident saying that anybody who does the Straight Dope Secret Santa is thrilled with anything they get. The handmade gifts are always the favorites.

I’m in. I’ve always enjoyed it and ran several, but just moved across the country and kinda lost track of the months.
