Secret Santa: Office Edition

Lingard

In the office, Alex and Lucy discuss their plans for the upcoming Secret Santa event. Lucy, who drew Jenny's name, plans to gift a book, aligning with Jenny's love for reading. Alex, assigned to Tom but unsure what to gift due to not knowing him well, receives a suggestion from Lucy to consider something related to Tom's interest in photography. The gift exchange is set to happen at the office Christmas party, where everyone will place gifts in a central location and then pick them up. Each Santa's identity will be revealed after the recipient opens their gift, adding a personal touch. They're excited about building team spirit and spreading holiday cheer, keeping in mind the £20 limit for the gifts.
