The entire idea came through on Google Talk between Darshan (@TheGoodJew), Social Media Specialist & always hungry for followers: Tarun (@ProbablyTrippy) & lastly, representing Catholics & Christianity, Vanessa (@TheFabulist).

Below is the chat sequence that germed this idea and concept three years back!

Please note Tarun's penchant of referring Darshan with girl names.

How it all began

In 2011, when we started the first batch of Mumbai Secret Santa it was supposed to be a small fun lil game between people we know and using Twitter as a facilitator. Somewhere in these two years, it has become an example of charity, goodwill, altruism, social media and the belief in the miracle of Christmas.
