Twitter Secret Santa
If Secret Santa gifts weren’t an option at the office this year, you can still participate in the holiday tradition — on Twitter. The Great Twitter Secret Santa pairs you up with another Twitter user you’re following or who follows you to be his or her Secret Santa. I read about this in an article on www.Mashable.com and decided to try it. Seemed fun. Participants received their match and can then mail a Secret Santa gift to his or her assigned match. The idea came from a discussion about taking old traditions and giving them a digital twist. Initially it was for fun. What an interesting social experiment. To participate, you just had fill out a short form with your contact information (address or e-mail address), and your favorite color, favorite childhood gift, etc. to give the person you get paired with an idea for a gift. Laura, the person I was matched up with, received a black & white ornament from me (her Secret Santa). Still waiting on my gift. Again... it was a fun way to do a Christmas tradition with a new social media twist.
