“I’m just blown away by his generosity, which went even further than all these gifts because he submitted a donation to code.org in my name to give more students the chance to learn computer science, which is AWESOME because it’s something near and dear to my heart as my husband is a programmer and my brother has a degree in computer science!”

What is Secret Santa?

A popular holiday game also known as Kris Kringle, Secret Santa is a Western Christian tradition in which members of a group of family members, friends or co-workers are randomly assigned a person to whom they should give a present. It is called Secret Santa since the gift giver is a secret until revealed at the gift exchange.
