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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76100954



You may think it's bullshit, which is fine, but it's not causing you "anxiety" or making you dip into your savings so you don't lose face. I can understand Secret Santa might be a pain but it's not a one of life's "triggers".
 Quoting: Blue State Rebel


Amen

Triggered by it vs not liking it are two different things
 Quoting: ~kpm~



If Secret Santa is freaking them out, how do they deal with a mortgage?

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. If you don't like your co-workers, it's a bit of a pain, but just do it and try to have some fun. Or opt out. Not a big deal but everything seems to upset these millennials.

I think it's really about the War on Christmas.
 Quoting: Blue State Rebel


Ya, like a dog whistle to the millennials

Highly doubt it triggers most of them, it’s just a vehicle to bash Christmas
 Quoting: ~kpm~



I definitely think it's an anti-Christmas thing. They're so much FUN to be around!

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.
 Quoting: Blue State Rebel


What is so great about Christianity?

There are pedophiles who hunt for their child victims in the churches these days.

Church is not safe for children, because of the pedophiles.

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.

And of course office workers will judge you. They want more of your stuff. Leaches all around. The only time this doesn't happen is when everyone's making enough money to be happy.

We're getting the full picture now in crystal clear reception.

First all the nasty lowlifes from the 60s, the flower childs, never amount to anything and now that push has come to shove they screaming for welfare and handouts.

We see the next generation, their rotten fruits, doing the same thing that fat old daddy and mommy with no standards did.

there was coverage on Fox on this as I got up this morning.. with some people right on the screen glad to have it gone...

This is a division point for humans... this 4d we are in.. some are moving really down hill.. they cannot cope so they engage in rituals that do not serve...

If someone doesn't like it.. they can grow their balls and not participate as to secret santa thing. I bombed out of gift campaigns of all sorts years ago... it has grown to merchanizing excess... Has nothing to do with secret santa pressure. I don't participate in rituals that do not suit. We are so caught up in ritual... and a certain amount is important but it had gotten hugely controlling.

Excess ritual is behind satanism....

I agree. Don’t participate if you don’t want to. Opt out. Honestly who needs more stuff. Actually help someone from the heart. If you want to. And it doesn’t have to be monetarily.
