My friend had organised a secret santa for a work christmas party a few years back. She had dished out the names, taken the gifts, made sure they were all wrapped and tagged and placed them under the christmas tree in a restaurant. When it came to the special moment we all sat around excited as the presents were handed out. One of the male members of staff was first to open-his face went bright red as it turned out to be a pair of frilly knickers. His secret santa exclaimed that it should have been a dvd! Turns out my friend had written the wrong names on the tags. Luckily he laughed about it!

Quite afternoon on the Friday Fun front – I suppose that is because you’re all at your Christmas parties now – we’ll extend the deadline for entries until Monday morning, so you can share the gossip here first…

Last night was my work group’s Christmas do and one of the traditions is to have a “Secret Santa” distribute (surprise) gifts; I had braced myself for one of the usual naughty and not-so-nice items that crop up, or simply something in rather poor taste (and possibly plastic).
Instead, I unwrapped a kit for home-made ginger bear and a bag of rosebud tea! How lovely!
For once, a Secret Santa who knows me and likes to make gifts that actually please the recipient (thought it was just me!).
And thanks to my investigative talents, I was able to duely thank Santa’s envoy.
Merry Christmas to all, and may your Santa be as well inspired!

My funniest Christmas party was when I was a bit younger and we went for pizza with everyone. I didn’t realise that we were going to go bowling after and I was wearing a skirt and heels. I was dismayed when I realised I would have to wear those big bowling shoes with a skirt, and even worse I had to buy a pair of socks from a shop to wear with them, so there was me in black socks, big blue and red shoes and a sparkly skirt!!!!! needless to say I didn’t want to get in any Christmas photos!

The funniest Christmas present I ever got from someone I worked with was a pack of hairbands. It was a running joke that my hair bands were always found all over the place in the stock room, where they fell out of my pocket or off my wrist! and then I could never find one when I needed one! Thoughtful and made me giggle!

Many moons ago (well ten years when I was 19) I broke my foot on a wonky paving slab I tripped over whilst Christmas shopping, this happened just the week before and only being young I had an active social calendar planned.
Not wanting to be “boring” I decided to go out as planned the Friday before Christmas crutches and all but wasn’t really in the mood for the festivities. A Meal and coffee finished with I turned around to get ready to go, only to my surprise to find my crutches missing! A few giggling friends later it transpired that two mates had “borrowed” the crutches and took them of to decorate them in tinsel, glitter and baubles! I was so impressed and touched I decided to stay out after all and it really cheered up my day!
