Secret Santa Postcards

Submitted by Yaffa Seiden, Resident Assistant, St. Mary's College of Maryland

Materials: greeting cards

This is a great program for residents with limited funds, or for all who just wish to do something nice for others for the holidays.

The RA purchases a generic box of happy holiday cards that are blank on the inside. The card is cut in half to create a postcard. Then residents draw a name to send their holiday postcard to. After the residents’ write out their postcards they can either be mailed, slid under room doors, or taken to the campus mail center where the cards are distributed to appropriate mailboxes. This program provides mail to residents during the holiday season.
