My family is so cool!
This is what we’ve all agreed to do regarding ‘gifts’:
No-Cents Secret Santa
Please prepare/devise/create/scrounge a gift for the name to the right of your own. In the interest of non-consumerism, saving the planet, being creative, having fun, feeling the love, taking the challenge, being silly, being heartfelt and saving some money, you can do anything other than actually ʻbuyʼ a gift. Perhaps itʼs a hand-me-down, perhaps you make it, perhaps itʼs an intangible gift, perhaps you find it… use your imagination! The first part of the gift, is the gift itself, the second part of the gift is the time you spend thinking about the person whilst trying to come up with an idea.
Names were chosen randomly, but moved to make sure immediate family didnʼt have each other. It is possible that you have a person whom you donʼt know very well, feel free to either use your detective skills by asking advice of others, or… take a wild stab in the dark!
You are to present your gift to the person on Christmas Eve in traditional Estonian fashion, accompanied by a ʻhaiku poemʼ written by you, for, or about, the person.
