I leveraged Kat's solution with iterative macro, as I am exploring the world of macros.  Thank you @kat   

One thing though:  I tried to have Total Scroogieness match  the output solution provided using the max scrooginess scores, but the iterative macro only giving random matches, though I tried to sort,  but it is not quite matching the solution.  @kat, appreciate your help, if this is possible to accomplish in iterative macro, I tried to tweak yours, but still could not get it to match the descending sort order for Total Scroogieness provided.  Appreciate someone's help on this.

Finally got there with an iterative macro I'm happy with. It's actually quite balanced aswell in terms of choosing the secret santa partners
