"Invisible Santa" is a popular game in which a group of people randomly distribute each other's names, usually by writing them on pieces of paper and putting them in a hat or a box. Each person takes out a piece of paper and becomes the "invisible friend" of the person whose name they have obtained. The goal is to buy or give a gift for that person without revealing their identity. At the end, on an agreed date, all participants gather and hand out their gifts, often trying to guess who their "invisible friend" is. It is a game that encourages fun and camaraderie, and is especially popular during the Christmas holidays.
The origin of the game of "invisible Santa" is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have roots in various cultures and traditions. One theory suggests that the concept began in Venezuela as "Secret Santa" or "Secret Santa." Another theory points to the United States during the 19th century as a way to exchange gifts during Christmas in a more economical and exciting way. However, the idea of exchanging gifts anonymously has existed in various cultures throughout history, making it difficult to attribute its invention to a single place or moment in time.
