all the Secret Santa exchanges I’ve been in before we left clues for the recipient to try and figure out who their Santa was. What are you guys doing on this? We simply sending the gifts anonymously or are some of you doing more?

Well, I took mine to a mail center to be shipped so I am sure my name and return address are on the box, but that does not reference me on here, unless we have interacted in some purchase or other reason, which I have not, with my little munchkin :Heya:. I was not sure of the rules since this is the first year I did this.

Here, but occasionally There.
I have received 3 random packages this week, 2 came from here for sure, and I didn't even get signed up on the list. I really appreciate it everyone, esp the "positive thoughts" banner, whomever sent it! I would love to reciprocate whenever possible.

I've not been in any of the Secret Santa "exchanges" now or in the past, but I do kind of keep up with them. I think that they began last year to include a person who is "somewhat in need" that all can send something to, so, I think you are at least one of those in need. I suspect you will get more packages. My understanding is that some of the participants of the exchanges are doing the regular "Secret Santa" and others are doing both the "Secret Santa" and the "gift for those somewhat in need."

Time will tell, but there may be more than one in the "somewhat in need" category.

All in all, I again commend the OSA community for its thoughtfulness and generosity. Maybe next year I can join in.

We try to keep it a secret. But it's also not a big deal if you get found out. We usually have a few that get guessed right.

The goal is to just have fun with it and enjoy seeing what everybody got this year.

My understanding and sentiment has always been, keep it totally anonymous. Maybe they'll figure it out. Maybe they won't. It's not about receiving credit for sending a gift. It's about spreading some cheer and good will.
