I'll take the reins if no one wants them.

(No need for campaigning or an election; I'll concede to any challenger(s) :lol: .)

Yay! :rockon: :thumb:

Don't worry you won't have to reveal your tax returns or go through a gruelling series of debates. No baby kissing either... :lol:


Oh, and I'm in for SS16!

I have to say that one of the things I enjoy most about Secret Santa is Mescal's posts with his oldest boy.

Wow, when you see it like that, Mescal's son has really grown up! :yikes: I guess we are all getting old :lol:

I'm in again. Our SS is one of my favorite holiday traditions!

I'm a bit rusty this year, but I always have fun picking out a present. One of these years you should.

Thanks Artemis for putting those pics in one post :)

I see him every day, so I don't see him growing up. It's cool to see a pic of him with one year in between.

And as not to dissapoint Artemis, I'm in this year :)

But only if Larry actually listens to the tapes I sent him last year

I haven't found a single working cassette player, it's incredible. But I'll take the tapes back to Chile, until I finally get to listen to them. If they are rubbish, I'll fucking burn them.

I'm in! This time the sender will have to ship to Chile, though... so again, I'll suggest Amazon or some other similar service that usually charges less than regular post. Or maybe even purchase something from Chile.

Should be fun :thumb:

Hence the walkman :dunce:

I carefully selected all the tracks on those tapes and I transferred them from my own precious personal vinyl collection onto said tape, with love and care. :love: There's not one rubbish track on it.

This is not some random spotify playlist! :boobs:

I'm excited because I've visited lately lots of art crafts markets so I can find anything for anyone. Just remember to share your shirt size again :wiggle:

My shirt size: Large
Flip Flop size: N/A ( I'm fine in the flip flop department. I have a gorgeous pair from Australia in mint condition.)


*A suggestion: When we send chaos our mailing info, we should also note the people we have bought for in the past. Obviously, for the newbies like Hoka this will not be an issue. I was thinking this information would be helpful during the draw. Chaos could cross reference the names and redraw if necessary BEFORE sending everybody their giftee. Depending on the number of people who participate this year it might be unavoidable to buy for someone you've bought for in the past.

For example: Artemis has purchased for: Larry B,Mescal,Guysmilie,Wally

Didn't HYPE say he was interested this year??
