Doing the Secret Santa thing at work this holiday season? You're not alone. This fun group gift swap has only gained in popularity over the last several decades and spans the globe. In Ireland, they call it "Kris Kringel," while in Germany, it's "Wichteln." Countless other countries have countless other names for it, and variations on the theme abound. But the premise always remains the same: a group of gift-givers are each assigned one person to whom they must anonymously offer a gift. Whether that means leaving the gift on a desk or under a tree is up to each Secret Santa group.
