A gift is coming your way,
From Santa himself, they say.
Wrapped with care and filled with joy,
A surprise for you, girl or boy.

The Secret Santa Gift Exchange

'Tis the season of giving,
So gather 'round, all dear friends.
We'll draw names in a circle,
And begin the game's suspense.

Each of us is Secret Santa,
With one recipient to surprise.
We'll wrap our gifts in fancy paper,
And keep them hidden from prying eyes.

But how will we choose what to give?
Some riddles might light the way.
We'll leave clues for our giftees to follow,
Adding pleasure to the holiday.

For one lucky friend, a mystery awaits,
A package wrapped in green and gold.
Inside they'll find a gadget of sorts,
Something that never gets old.

For another friend, a mystery still,
A present wrapped in blue and white.
They'll find something soft and cozy,
To warm them up on chilly nights.

For the next friend, a puzzle to be solved,
A riddle to guide them in their quest.
When they've cracked the code, they'll be delighted,
By a gift that exceeds all the rest.

So gather 'round, my dear friends,
And prepare for the Secret Santa game.
A mystery gift exchange awaits,
Full of riddles and thrills and fame.
