It is the popular festive tradition that gives office workers an excuse to only buy a present for one of their colleagues.

But Millennials may not be able to handle the pressure of "Secret Santa" games at work because they fear they will be labelled "stingy", a psychologist has said.

Dr Ashley Weinberg says businesses could ease their anxiety by bringing in spending limits for the ritual which sees Christmas gifts exchanged anonymously between colleagues.

Dr Weinberg, a psychology lecturer at the University of Salford, said "giving guidelines" would "take the pressure off" young workers.

His remarks come after a survey found more than a third of Millenials wanted to see office whip-rounds and Secret Santa banned for good.
