Fill a gift bag with party snacks. It doesn't have to be a personal gift. People make simple things into more than what it is.

What are they afraid of? Digging deep into their empathy and give a bit of effort to find
A gift that would be heart sent?

If they cannot think-
I guess the thought never counted in the first place.

Shallow spirits indeed.

Secret Santa is bullshit. I have quite enough holiday obligations with my family, screw those assholes at work. I have family assholes to deal with. Quit moving across the country to get away from yours and you wont need your secret santas to coddle you. Yeah, I'm a fucking asshole.

Secret Santa sucks. I am 58 years old and I always disliked it a lot. I won't do Secret Santa. No way.

But did it cause you anxiety and stress?

No, you just opted out of it

Some millennials want "Secret Santa" canceled.

A study found that Secret Santa gift exchanges trigger anxiety in many millennials. Dr. Ashley Weinberg, a psychology lecturer at the University of Salford in Manchester, claimed the holiday gift swap triggers anxiety in those who overspend because they don’t want to appear "stingy."

The study from Jobsite found that 26% of millennials admitted to dipping into savings or overdrafting their accounts to fund an office gift. Around 17% reported that they “felt judged” by their co-workers based on the gift they chose to contribute.

In total, 78% of millennials felt they contributed “more than they should” to an office party gift compared to 58% of the rest of the workforce.

I actually don't much care for Secret Santa events - it's weird having to get a gift for someone I barely know. But I still go along with it to not spoil other people's fun. Whining about the money is just petty.

My gift is usually an autographed picture of myself, signed "You're welcome."

OH BROTHER.....

Why don’t we just take ALL of the easily “triggered” millennials and put them on their very own island all by themselves.

This way they can sort things out and they won’t be such a drain on the rest of society.

All these years they push to the people -especially the young- fake anxiety situations and if something really bad happens, they will be unable to react. But i guess this is what they want.

I'm the boss. I tell my employee's buy a gift if you like but don't spend over $20 bucks. Problem solved.

This happened in my shop twenty years ago and some dude bought me an entire war wash set. Brush, a sprayer, bottles of wash, the works. I guess he thought I liked my car. I thanked him and never used the fucking thing.

These people are MENTAL CASES. Buy something at CVS for $10 or $20 bucks.

What's probably REALLY triggering them is the SANTA part because they HATE CHRISTMAS. They HATE any reference to Christianity.

Exactly. If you like your co-workers it might be a fun thing, but there should be a dollar cap on it. I think $20 is more than enough.
