Secret Santa

It’s that time of year again.
Secret Santa.
I loathe this game.
I don’t think it is fun.
Basically, I have never sen everyone leave happy.
Someone always gets crap and everyone gets a good laugh.
It is a terrible example of Schadenfreude.
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee.
I’d rather take the money that I am spending on someone I don’t know
for something they don’t need and give the money to a cause.
So I gave twice what I paid for the gift to a charity.
It helped me feel a bit less like a rampant consumer.
I tried to bow out of the Secret Santa but apparently someone had already picked my name.
If you are out there and are my Secret Santa, please just give the money to a cause and hand me a photocopy of the receipt.
I’ll let you keep the original for your taxes.
Please don’t buy me crap!
Actually, I could use a Taser. That could could liven up any office party.
