One of the best things about the holidays, in our view, is the fun we have in transforming our homes for the season. Whether we're baking up cookies in the kitchen or decorating the mantel with cedar boughs, we're busy creating a cozy, inviting environment for our families and guests. Our decorative and culinary traditions run the gamut, from mistletoe to silver bells to spice cakes and eggnog. Many of those customs come in floral form, intimately connected to what nature gives us during the coldest part of the year. It's one of these traditions that Bagoy's Florist & Home is celebrating today. Read More about Make Merry And More This Holiday »

We've all played Secret Santa (or some variation on the theme) before, whether at work, among a group of friends or at a holiday party. And whatever we call it - Yankee Swap, White Elephant, or, if you're in Latin America, "Amigo Secreto" - the group gift swap has one objective, to make sure that everyone gets a present.
It's also tons of fun and an older practice than you may think. Its origins can be traced back to Scandinavia, where a Santa Claus-like figure would knock on doors and when they were answered, toss his present inside before he could be seen. Anonymity is still a key part of Secret Santa today. At Bagoy's Florist & Home, we can't help you with the staying anonymous part, but we can help with the gift part.
