One of the shifts joined up with my Secret Santa to make it happen. I've spent all my time off this year encouraging the ~20 people I work with to hike and camp and visit parks and I've taken lots of pictures and shared them with my team. I guess it was the ideal gift and they really wanted to make it work. It's extremely generous and I'm very blessed.

Also, we have a limit ($25?) but I'm not going out and bragging to my store about the gift. I'll be private about thanking them. I don't want to make things awkward for anyone else. And I try to thank them by working extremely hard and being steady and a healthy presence.

Yeah that's the most challenging part, really. I sell thrifted things on the side and I have camping gear so I'm really just paying for gas. It can be done!
