"Hello, Lorraine!", Samantha exclaimed happily. "That is wonderful news, and of course you may count me in as a participant!" Samantha tapped her wand on the tiny box, said the incantation and received a name. "Well, look at that!", Samantha said, opening the slip with a smile. "A Secret Santa and a party at that, what could be more wonderful? Thanks, Lorraine, I'll see you at the party! And thanks so much for inviting me, I'm so looking forward to it!" Samantha thought to herself that this is just what was needed between the Department Heads and the Shopkeepers, a chance for them to get to know one another in a fun holiday atmosphere would be great.
