Secret Santa

1. Navigate to the Secret Santa page on the admin dashboard.

2. Select Participants: Choose the participants which will be randomly picked to give a gift to another participant.

3. Add Pool Name: Create multiple Secret Santa pools for different groups or families. Users can be part of multiple pools simultaneously. So give it a unique name like your family name.

4. Add Instructions: Include details such as average price, guidelines, and any other essential notes for participants.

5. User Revelation: Participants will see a new icon on their dashboard. Clicking this icon takes them to their assignment page (/secret_santa_assignment), where they’ll find out who they’re buying a gift for and the organizer’s instructions.

6. Ending: To conclude a Secret Santa event, go back to /secret_santa, choose the pool name, and click Delete Pool to remove it.

Backend:

• Each participant's assignment is stored in users.json in this format:

"assigned_users": {
            "pool1": "username2",
            "pool2": "username3"
}

• Instructions are saved in a new text file santa_inst_<poolname>.txt for easy reference.
