Are you taking part in a Secret Santa exchange this year?

Secret Santa (or Kris Kindle) participants agree to exchange one present each within their gifting group.

THE THOUGHT OF buying Christmas presents can feel both daunting and expensive, especially as costs continue to rise.

As a result, more families, friends and work colleagues have embraced the tradition of Secret Santa (or Kris Kindle, as many would say).

By drawing names from a hat or using an online name generator, participants agree to exchange one gift each within a set price limit. The tradition has become increasingly popular as a way of making gift-giving easier and less costly.

So, tell us: Are you taking part in a Secret Santa exchange this year?
