Wrapped with care and tied up tight,
picked for you on a winter night.
Who it is from, you will not see,
your Secret Santa, signed with glee.
A little gift, a little cheer,
from someone close, but hidden here.
Merry Christmas, take a guess,
your Santa will not say. No, not yes.
Funny Secret Santa poems
I checked your list, I checked it twice,
then bought this thing that seemed quite nice.
If it is wrong, do not despair,
your Santa has a receipt to spare.
The budget said twenty, I did my best,
I skipped the socks like all the rest.
Open it now, then try to see,
which coworker here could Santa be.

I sit near the window, I bring in the cake,
I laugh at your jokes, even the fake.
Look to the left at the very next meeting,
your Santa is there, and quietly grinning.
Swap the first two lines for a real detail about you, and let the group guess. Plan the reveal moment with Secret Santa rules.
