Secret Santa Overkill

The first version

Done in time for Christmas 2010

Sadly lost, like tears in rain :unicorn:

The first version was done for that year's Christmas, but has since sadly been lost.

At that time, my partner and I were living in Japan.

We decided to do a secret santa with some of our common friends. There was a couple of friends in Chile, and anohter in France.

Of course, we wanted people to be randomly assigned to anyone.

But what we didn't want was for one couple to give presents to another couple. We wanted each couple to receive presents from the two other couples, so that my friends in France would always get a present from Chile and one from Japan, and so on. And this was difficult to implement without conditional exceptions.
