No Secret Santa For Me!
Dear
Polite One,
I
don't want to participate in the "Secret Santa" at work.
Christmas or any of the holidays mean nothing to me. How can I
state that I do not want to participate? If I must be involved, what
sorts of gifts
are appropriate?
Sincerely,
Scrooge
Dear
Scrooge,
It's
perfectly fine to state that you don't want to participate. You'd have to
tell the organizer of the event well before the draw. Perhaps you could
speak to this person privately, so you won't even be approached. If you
are somewhat bullied into it (hopefully not), a price guideline should be
suggested to all involved. From there, give a gender-neutral gift like a coffee shop gift card, music download code, a pair of wool gloves, or a small box of candy
(anything similar).
Sincerely,
The
Polite One
