Secret Santa 2004

The idea of Secret Santa is very simple - you pull a name out of a hat and buy that person a present. Your name is in the hat as well, so someone buys you a present too! Everyone gets a present! Everyone's happy!

To use the Secret Santa website, you need a wishlist at Amazon. First you tell Santa about yourself. Then on December 10th you will be told who you're buying a gift for. And by Christmas Day, everyone has a present to open.

This is an interesting idea. According to the About page, the Secret Santa site was started three years ago and over 1500 presents have been giving out so far.

Here's a thought: how about organizing a web-based version of a Yankee Swap?
