Hey, anyone else up for Secret Santa this year?This may sound like a dumb question but what is a Secret Santa?:|

Is he like James Bond?:bigeyes:

[ShawnLee]

Tentatively, I'm in. I don't know how I'd exchange gifts, but yeah, that's it. We'll see but yeah.

[ray]

yeah, why the heck not!

[Jenny]

Tentatively, I'm in. I don't know how I'd exchange gifts, but yeah, that's it. We'll see but yeah.

Have some family or a friend you can get to get it for you at their address and send it to you with a package they would regularly be sending you? And they can buy and send stuff for you and you pay them back? or whatever. :)

[Jenny]

Anyone else? Don't have many signed up yet! If you PM'd me your email address, check your email! :)

[Napoleon54]

:bump:

C'mon everyone, where's your festive spirit? Now that we're on the other side of Thanksgiving, it's appropriate to start thinking about the holiday gift-giving season. How about some more sign-ups?!!

[welfareloser]

i'm in! can't help myself :D same email as always.

[kgsilvas]

:bump:

Hey G|A'er's, let get signed up!!! Sign-ups end in just a few days.

[Sirrich3]

Yep, there weren't very many people signed up...

[MrGreg]

Come on people, it's worth signing up just for the slim chance you'll get picked by welfareloser and receive whatever amazing prize package she puts together.

[cheapie]

all right! what do i need to do?

[Jenny]

Send me your email address.

[Jenny]

Hey guys, make up your wishlists if you haven't yet! That's part of the fun of Elfster! That way people can get you what you want. :D

[ray]

Our limit is $15 again, right?

[Jenny]

$15 plus shipping I think, yeah.

[sourdough]

Ok I guess I'll throw my round in for this again.

[Jenny]

Ok, everyone check your your email! Names were drawn today! (It did it automatically, cause I'd put the signup deadline as yesterday. lol I forgot it would do it automatically. heh)

[BigJon]

Everybody make sure they've filled out their ADDRESS and put some stuff into the WISHLIST.

[ray]

I'm gonna be late on sending mine out. It should be sent Monday December 18th. Sorry to whomever i got!

[BigJon]

Mine and Mommypooh's will be sent out next week. Don't get paid until then...you know how it is.

[eSDee]

I sent and received mine already. Can I open it now or do I have to wait until Christmas?

/me wants to open it

[kgsilvas]

Just what I wanted! Thanks Secret Santa Elf!!!! :cheers:

[Jenny]

Yay, got mine today. :D From my not-so-Secret Santa:

http://www.tvismypacifier.com/images/gotapex/dvds.jpg

Thank you SS!

[Napoleon54]

I got mine today!

I got two books and a G|A t-shirt! I'm always looking for something thought-provoking to read, both of these books look really interesting... Philosophy Made Simple by Robert Hellenga and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Caldwell.

SS, I couldn't help but notice your name and address from the return label, but can't (and won't try to) match it up with anyone here on G|A. So you successfully remain anonymous. :thumbup:

It is finally beginning to feel like Christmas to me. Thank you! :cool:

[Napoleon54]

SS, I couldn't help but notice your name and address from the return label, but can't (and won't try to) match it up with anyone here on G|A. So you successfully remain anonymous. :thumbup:

Oh wow, man am I dense sometimes! I do know who you are. LOL Thanks again! :)

[kgsilvas]

The UPS man delivered mine today! Thanks SS!

Saving mine for Christmas morning.

[chrissy]

The UPS man delivered mine today! Thanks SS!

Saving mine for Christmas morning.

Oh that is sooooo wrong! You have to open it now!

I demand it!

:P

[MrGreg]

Saving mine for Christmas morning.

In that case you should punch some air holes into the box and drop in a meal worm or two :shifty:

[Mommypooh]

I got mine today. I totally love it. I got homemade soap in some of the yummiest flavors. I am also looking forward to BigJon using one of them so I can drool on him. I think I need to take a shower now.

Ok, Mommypooh and my gifts have been sent to our Secret Santas. They are going to arrive after Christmas (duh)...so just let us know when you get them!

[Sirrich3]

My gift went out 2 days ago. Will definitely arrive to my person after Xmas...but hopefully before New Years Day...

[kgsilvas]

The UPS man delivered mine today! Thanks SS! Saving mine for Christmas morning.

Thanks SS! Phew, thankfully no meal worms or air holes were needed! :winkie:
I told Elfster that I wished for: 1) Something Sudoku OR 2) Something for baking

SS got me both things plus some special Wild Huckleberry Jam as a bonus! A Sudoku book with all difficult puzzles and two snappy non-stick loaf pans. There could be some fresh bread coming soon to try out that huckleberry jam!
