Four days before Christmas it was proposed at work (by the new boss who announced in May that there would be no Christmas bonus this year, a prophecy that has come to pass) that we have a Secret Santa. Himself included.
Spending limit? $25 to $30.
I declined to participate and was called out on it.
"I can't afford it," I said. "I'm not spending that much on myself this year. I'm having a cheap and cheerful Christmas."
Whether the last minute scheme will actually go through, I don't know.
What I do know is this: it never hurts to be true to yourself when you can't afford something. Even if it means saying NO to Santa.
