Putting people more closely
There is this lady who is an acquaintance of the gentleman my landlord. He told me a very interesting idea this lady had in the last Christmas family’s meeting.
Many Christmas parties here in Brazil have this game called “Secret Friend”. It works like this: each joiner takes a paper with the name of another friend, and must not tell anyone who it is. Each participant must prepare or buy a gift to the person indicated on his/her paper. A date is chosen by everybody to exchange the gifts. On this date, on the game, one joiner (let’s call him “A”) starts it giving tips due to the others try to guess of whom he was the secret friend. When they get right his friend, “A” gives his gift to him/her. This person is the next that gives tips, and the fun goes on until all the people have received their gifts.
All the parties this lady arranges are well organized and she puts her heart on every single little detail. For instance, she takes her time to write little notes with inspiring phrases or statements in beautiful cards and put them around the house for her guests to read them.
The brilliant idea’s of her at this particular Christmas party was: the secret friend should not only give a present to his/her friend, but, also, must perform as the guardian angel of his/her friend in the course of the entire next year! The so-nominee-guardian-angel must take care of his/her friend by phone-calling, letters-writing and doing whatever needed in order to be close to his/her friend for a whole year!
Isn’t it a lovely idea?
