One of the more popular holiday games, secret Santa (also known as Kris Kringle in some circles) is a fun and easy way for a group of friends, family members or co-workers to exchange gifts. The basic concept of the secret Santa game is simple. All of the participants' names are placed into a hat, box, etc. and mixed up. Each person then chooses one name from the box, but doesn't tell anyone which name was picked. [That person] is now responsible for buying a gift for the person selected. 2, record 1, English, - secret%20Santa
