Hey folks! Just thought I'd raise a little idea here... Who would be up for a "secret Santa" thing this year? For those who do not know, it is basically a thing where a group of people all draw random names amongst themselves, and on a selected date, they bring a gift for the person whos name they drew. Nobody (should) know who their "santa" is until they receive their present. I am writing this with much notice for 2 reasons:
-To get feedback from all interested to put forth their ideas (which may be better than mine)
-I would like to put a 50 post (or something like that anyway) minimum on this for all participating. I am not trying to be disclusive in any way, just that all those who wish to enter should at least know each other, and by doing so(I mean to say this in the nicest way possible) eliminate all prospect of cheaters (people who want a free gift without sending something in return) I decided to tell you all now so all interested have 2 months to get their posts. I think that if I get enough posts against this rule, we should be able to delete it.
If there is enough interest this should fly. All eager to participate send me (or susan, I guess she should be in on this as she is the forum "mom"!) your names, your address, (please note this will not be shown to anyone except me, susan, and the person sending you their gift)and 3 things you want from santa this year, or a list of your hobbies etc (please note, These should be in the 15-20 dollar range). Either Susan or I will "scramble" up the list, and then will send your info "off to santa". Anyone who does not celebrate Christmas or any other holiday this season, feel welcome to participate. (After all this is all about pesentspresentspresents!, is'nt it?)
This is just a rough idea and of course, nothing is "etched in stone", so to speak. Just post your ideas and email in your names. I hope we can make this work.
Andrew
