If you’ve never heard of Reddit’s annual Secret Santa program, here’s the skinny: every December, participants join together to create a record-breaking Secret Santa program. You draw a name, and mail them a gift. You answer a few questions about what you like, and you get a gift. It’s that simple. And...
I’ve taken a leaf out of Sarah’s book and decided that New Year’s resolutions are to be decided by the end of the month of January. After all, if you’re really going to commit to something, you should give the idea time to marinate (and Lord knows you don’t have time...
