So I guess it’s Secret Santa time again. I won’t be signing up this year, and I don’t recommend you do so either. I know that I’m supposed to just be thrilled about the act of giving, but after two consecutive years of getting punked, I’m over it.
Do yourself and the world a favor: give to charity, soldiers serving overseas or an Iraqi child instead and let the webloggers buy their own books.
I guess “scam” is a strong word, but oh well. Let’s see what you would call it after two years of getting the shaft.

Well, in the spirit of giving, it’s not what you get but what you give, right? So, your argument against the secret santa has holes. Maybe the whole secret part is a better reason to avoid the terrorism of getting some silly trinket you’d rather have a stick of gum over. I never liked sneaking around trying not to let someone know it was you who put the snow globe on their desk. In our office it’s a white elephant give-away. Ouch – not much better. Alas, here’s to the curmudgeons!
