Secret Santa Is Giving People Anxiety!
Do you do the Secret Santa in your office?
For the most part, there is a price cap on this holiday tradition, usually between $5 and $20 however that doesn’t stop people from getting anxiety over the hole process.

One in four workers aged between 23 and 38 said they felt angry as a result of being asked to contribute because their financial situation was not being considered.
There is also the pressure of social media, and those who are always feeling judged.
