Secret Santa is an annual event that happens in Apartmentland (previously) and PacMansion (currently). Every year, the Secret Santa Person Assignment Generator will randomly assign you to a person in which you will get them a gift.

There's also a metagame that TJ likes to play in trying to figure out who has whom before the gift exchange event occurs.

Rules

The following are a list of constraints that govern how you will get assigned:

  • You cannot get your significant other (since you'll probably get them a gift anyway)
  • You cannot get your siblings (see above)
  • You cannot get yourself (where's the fun in that?)
  • You cannot get a person who you gave to in previous years (let's mix it up!)

There's no hard limit on gift purchases, but aim for $20 or so; higher than, like, $40 is probably too much.

The Exchange

A date has not yet been set for the gift exchange. Previously, this would happen in early January, due to people being out of town for the holidays. This year, it's possible that we could hold it earlier, considering that a significant fraction of the participants live at the same place and thus being able to get people together should be easier. Maybe.

The biggest issue in determining a gift-exchange time regards when Nicole and Jackie get back from Houston.
