What is Secret Santa ?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"origine<\/p>\n

Do you know the story of Secret Santa? Or for the more novice, do you know how it works?<\/strong> From the history of this festival, which is becoming more and more traditional in France, to the rules of the game (because it is a game) and its organisation, we’ll explain everything.<\/p>\n

The origin of Secret Santa<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We must go to the United States<\/strong> to trace the origins of Secret Santa. Larry Dean Stewart<\/strong> is said to have been the first “Secret Santa”. In the 1970s, he came up with the idea of anonymously giving money to people in need during the Christmas season. These people were unknown to him at the time.<\/span> How did he come up with the idea?<\/strong> He himself benefited from the generosity of a restaurant owner, who allegedly served him a free breakfast. He had been fired several times before Christmas and had also made a habit of leaving generous tips. \u00a0If we go back a little further, we can even find a European relative of Secret Santa. In the Netherlands, for example, Sinterklass is celebrated on 5 December and gifts are given anonymously, based on a draw. Secret Santa goes by several names, depending on the country where it is practiced:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
