Secret Santa

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on here draws names with family members. And if so, how do you do it, do you keep it a secret who has who's name? With a family growing quickly and some people on a budget, we are thinking about doing this with the adults in our family. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks

I've suggested it for years but I'm outvoted. How do you celebrate it suzy? :D

we've done the polyanna for a few years now

we only do siblings and spouses and older children (16 and older in with adults - also we do a 15 and under one with a 5 dollar limit)

everyone buys our parents a gift that's why they are excluded B-)

it's a secret until christmas my mom does the draw at random

everyone gives my mom 3-4 gift ideas inside the price limit and she writes them on a piece of paper and gives them out after she draws the names for everyon.

Noel, this will be the first year for us. But Pretjah has given me some good ideas. When we decide to do it I will let you know how it goes.
