There is one other area in the main office, and they are making a contribution to the Empty Stocking fund. We actually draw names well in advance. We did it about three months ago, but we had so many changes we had to redo it since then. We plan to exchange gifts with a small coffee and refreshment party. We wrap the gifts and put them under a Christmas tree.
Someone is selected to play Santa and they distribute the gifts.
We have some fun with it. There is usually a lot of intrigue as people try to find out what gifts everyone wants. There are no guidelines whatsoever on the gifts, no price limits. Everyone I can recall has really enjoyed it. In the five years we've been doing it, it seems pretty popular and promotes good office relations.
