In many of my past jobs, I enjoyed playing Secret Santa with my coworkers. This is the game where participants draw a name out of a hat. Then they purchase a small gift for the person they have chosen. In order to make the game fun, you’re not supposed to tell anyone whose name you drew. Hence the name Secret Santa. It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?
Trying to grasp the holiday spirit, I organized Secret Santa with my Korean co-workers. Most of them were gung ho to play. However, within fifteen minutes, I knew who picked my name and who everyone else had chosen.
Although the secret part is ruined, we will give out our gifts today. And who doesn’t like receiving presents? Tonight we’ll have our Christmas staff party at Lotte Hotel. The dinner starts at 8 pm but I had a class scheduled until 9 pm so I told my student class was cancelled.
