Hosting a Secret Santa Exchange
Christmas time is full of gifts, holiday spirit and the beloved character of Santa Clause. While of course Christmas is a tradition that is celebrated across the Nations in their own ways, not always do people receive the gifts that they deserve. A perfect way to help others during the holiday season is to setup a secret Santa program. This program can reach to your individual neighborhood, another town, city, state or even country. No matter where the program runs out to, it is important to remember that there are plenty of needy families in the world who are struggling. Now that you have decided to run a secret Santa operation, there are a few things to consider such as who the needy family will be, what can be given, and who will participate in the program alongside.
To start decide on a charity, location, or family that you would like to host the Secret Santa for. This can be a needy family that has lost their home, or is struggling to give their family aChristmasthis year. Once the family,homeless shelteror charity has been chosen, it is now time to pick people to ask to join. If you have a church that you are a part of, this is a great place to put up a sign up sheet or ask people to help join your cause. Another great location to put a signup sheet can also be at your workplace, with permission of your job of course.
Now that you have put up the signup sheets it is time to organize where you will be putting the gifts. Whether this is at the church, a locked office at work or at your home is sure to let people know where they can drop off or give you the gifts for the Secret Santa. The idea behind Secret Santa can be easy enough if people are willing to participate. If you have chosen a family or a shelter to sponsor, it is important to take in to consideration the ages of those involved. If there are toddlers, senior citizens, or young children, take this in to account. Putting agift idealist is also a great way to get partners involved.
If you are looking to expand your gift search, involving a company such as a local toy store, or grocery store, may also be an option. Don’t be afraid to look around for all the help that you may be able to get. The holidays are all about season’s greetings and the holiday spirit. Through these companies, there may be more donations of toys, food, or clothing.
Wrapping the gifts and putting names of the individuals, or separating them by age group and gender can also be a great way to keep the gifts organized. Through charities, church sponsors, help from the community and family and friends, this secret Santa can be a full success this year, and possibly for years to come.
No matter whom the Secret Santa is for the recipient will be thankful, appreciative and so honored that you have chosen them to receive such a blessing. Everyone can be an angel in disguise when they want. So remember this year and for the upcoming, everyone is a SecretSantain their own way. No matter the size or price of a gift, it is from the heart.
