Daycare secret santas
Filed under: 6-9 months, Infant / First year, Making a Difference
Does your daycare do a secret santa gift exchange? Mine does. It's actually kind of cute. I probably think this because it's not required.
I went in to pick up my eight-month old son earlier this week and one of the women who works there asked me if I was interested in participating. Basically I just chose a name out of a cup and would then buy that child something under $5 as a gift from my son. I got the name of one of the five-month olds.
I mean, honestly, I could have declined, but that would not be in the spirit of the holidays, Also, since the dollar limit was a mere $5 I couldn't say no. Honestly, had it been $10 I still would have participated. I don't think any of the kids at my son's daycare "need" anything, per se, but it's fun and a little treat.
The exchange will take place the week before the Christmas holiday. I can see it now. Since most of the infants are too young to even know what's going on, the women who run the room will probably do the exchanging and opening of the presents, which will then be placed in the children's cubbies and taken home by the parents.
I think it sounds like a lot of fun--I only wish I could be there to see it all take place!
I also wish that we'd done the secret santa thing at my old job. Rather that pulling a name out of a hat all seven of us bought presents for each other. I enjoyed doing that but it ain't cheap!
