Anyone in for this year?
I like the way we've done it in the past, where we send white elephant gifts (crap we don't want) or thrifted stuff or homemade gifts. What do you think? How about December 17th as the date stuff should get to the intended recipient?
If you're in, e-mail me with your address and your real name, and I'll set it up!
Yep, everyone is welcome. It's Christmas. Just don't get anyone a video iPod. That makes the other people feel bad.
So I wasn't technically in yet, but now I am. I have gave a PO box. That's cool, right? I don't think anybody would really want to overnight a bunch of junk in a box or anything, right? I can send you my street address if you want me to, LT. Just say the word.
You will be sent a name and an address, and you will send that person an item that you already own (white elephant) or make yourself. In return, you will receive an item from someone else. LT collects the names and addresses, and assigns them. It's not really a Secret Santa exactly, but we tend not to announce who we are sending gifts from. People do like to report here when the get the gifts, though, and I think we say who they're from then, too. I know I have. Even if they aren't signed, postmarks are good indicators.
I'll send out the names and addresses to everyone this weekend. So far, it's me, 2C, KarenM and Nerfy. Is that right? If I missed anyone on the list (naughty or nice) or if you've been meaning to sign up but haven't, e-mail me by tomorrow and I'll add you.
If you sent me an e-mail and told me you are participating, I have sent you an e-mail with the name and the address of the person to whom you should send your gift(s). We're aiming for next Friday, December 17, for gifts to arrive at their recipients locations. Since everyone participating lives in the U.S. (USA! USA! USA!), that shouldn't be a problem. We miss you, Daoust!
Hey folks, I found the perfect gift for a lot of NAers:
Too late.
Can I have Daoust's address so I can send him coal?
Which one is LTC?
Actually, pedophiles are attracted to kids. They don't actually have to have sex with them. The same way that virgins can be gay or straight.
