The Secret Santa tradition comes from the United States and Quebec. In France and French-speaking countries, it is sometimes referred to by its literal translation, "Secret Santa." Some sources trace its roots back to the Netherlands, known for their "Sinterklaas."
It can be compared to a surprise Christmas. The idea is to give gifts to each other with a limited and often modest budget. It is particularly common among friends, students, coworkers, and roommates. The main goal is to share a moment of conviviality.
Secret Santa is based on a draw. There are different variations. Generally, you draw the name of the person you will give a gift to. In other cases, the Secret Santa draw takes place on the spot, when the gifts are distributed.
