Planning holiday party at work
So this year I volunteered to plan our annual holiday party at the office (bad idea, I know). Typically we do a gift exchange and call it Secret Santa. However, a co-worker suggested that we change the name due to Santa being associated with Christmas. We ended up calling it "Secret Gifter" on the invite (didn't have a lot of time for creative brainstorming) and a TON of people complained about this change. 32
Somehow it's become a kind of PC vs. Non-PC war in the office. Personally, I'd be happy to not have any gift exchange between colleagues and just have a potluck style meal so everyone contributes that way. Are Secret Santa style exchanges slowing phasing out of workplaces? Anyway, just ranting. 1015
