Secret Santa?

[nausearockpig]

Also, There are two ways of selecting the names? Pairs and singles? Unless Bandit and I were in a strange co-incidence loop, I noticed that the giftee and gifter in each couple are also the giftee and gifter for each other, rather than the sorting being one name being pulled for each person in a row.. far out... this is not going the way I wanted....

I'm not saying one is better than the other, just noticed it wasn't something I was used to. As you were...

It was partly coincidence and partly rearranging due to changes such as people dropping out/joining at the last minute and people getting a person they had before. Hopefully this year we won't have any changes that require rejuggling the names.

ah... the stars aligned then! Clearly I was over-thinking something again.

I've sent presents to Thoreau, Bandit, Warped and Cricket_Bows (and they all REALLY wish I was their Secret Santa again, as my gifts were super awesome... right, guys? )

i'm out this year. i'll probably be between houses at that time plus with my current travel schedule it will be tough to receive a gift.

Dude, weren't you between houses when I had you 2 years ago? I remember being nervous that your gift was getting too close to the New Years deadline of you moving.

i buy and sell my house every two years. after two years you don't have to pay any taxes on your profit. it's about the only thing you can do tax free. two years in my current home is coming up. unless the economy takes a shit (election) i will be between houses. with no kids it's easy for me to do.

So much moving. I hate moving.

.... My last birthday card got almost 2 months later after my sister sent it. So I hope we set our SS person soon if I want them to get their package before the year ends

I realize it's early, but Christmas decorations are already out in the drugstores. I was thinking maybe we could aim for a November 5th deadline so people can plan accordingly. Too early?/Not early enough?

Participants so far this year's festivities:

Artemis
Bandit72
Blackula
Chaos
FarrelGirl
Hokahey
LarryB
Mescal
Nausearockpig
Perkana
Wally

I'll send PMs (in a week or so) to people have participated in the past but have not yet indicated whether they are interested in doing so this year.

[perkana]

My stuff never arrives before Xmas. But nov. 5 sounds cool to me.

That date sounds good to me.

The supermarket near me has Eggnog already! Way too early for that..

[Bandit72]

BUMP this thread!

Would be great to get some more participants.

[nausearockpig]

Yeah you fucks. Get on in it!

[chaos]

I'll keep updating the chart below as people join/provide info (without, of course, the receipts & addresses).

[Artemis]

Oh, I also sent Blackula a gift. It was a year with some changes, so to keep things simple, I was a Secret Santa to two people.

I love the spreadsheet, chaos! Very organized..

[nausearockpig]

Shirt size L/XL, past recipients were Perkana & Bandit72

[perkana]

Hmmm, I understood by recipients as people you have given gifts. You have been one of my previous recipients nausea but I don't think I have received anything from you. If I remember correctly, I've only received gifts from Thoreau, blackcoffee and Sue.

Yes you're right Perk. I'll go thru my PMs later on and confirm (I think my earliest recipient may have been Art though).

[farrellgirl99]

I've gotten gifts for Bandit, SR, pure method, and Artemis. For tshirts, L/XL is fine.

[blackula]

I got gifts for Creep and Mescal and I am a large.

I just updated the chart (above); Thoreau has been added . BTW - He is a dad now!

I don't want to clutter up the thread with charts as I get information, so I'll just post the names of additional people participating (if they don't do so themselves).

I'll post a final update of the chart on Sunday, Nov 6th. Also on that day I will PM everyone with the name, address, and shirt size of their Secret Santa recipient.
