Secret Santa!

[Sigmund]

Hi!

We had Secret Santa on the little board (Three years straight!) and it was tons of fun.

I don't know if we can pull it off here but...would anyone be interested?

Let me know ASAP. It takes some time and coordination to get all together.

Hey, I know we are all very busy and if it doesn't fly, no problem.

Peace.

What is Secret Santa? Never heard of before.

 

[misery chastain loves co.]

Secret Santa is when you draw names and nobody knows who you have and you do a gift exchange. I'm not sure how it would work on here, we'll leave that to the higher power that is Sigmund, but I want in if you make this happen!

 

[Spideyman]

If I recall correctly-- it ended up by placing cyber pictures of the gifts on the MB. Siggie is the expert.

 

[not_nadine]

It was fun! I recieved and gave away good stuff!

 

[not_nadine]

I miss the little boards.

We could get into all kinds of trouble while Ms. Mod was away on weekends.

Sig hosted all of the parties.

....I'm in like a belly-button!...

Sho thing, Ms. Sigmund

 

[king family fan]

Sounds like fun.

 

[not_nadine]

You get a car! You get a car! YOU GET A CAR!

 

[Haunted]

Sign me up, Mz. Sig.

....I'm in like a belly-button!...

What if my belly button is an outie?
Count me in too!

 

[Kurben]

I always like to be counted in!! So count me in too.. But how does it work... ? Is Siiggy der Oberst-General that tells us what to do and not to do?

 

[CriticAndProud]

Oh hell yes (unless it costs money I'm stingy like that )

Hi.

Thank you!

Let's start with sign-up for Secret Santa. Cut off date to sign-up is December 7th.

I'll update the list and post to make sure it's correct and complete.

I will PM each Santa with the name of their recipient no later than December 11th.
(I'll pull names out of a hat (not really in a hat ) and PM each Santa and let you know who your giftee is. Secret Santa. No one will know who is their Santa.)

Santas can start posting their gifts on December 21st. through December 25th.

(So, Santas will have the name of their giftee on December 11 and have over a week to look for ideas, clues and images.)

Does that make sense?

Stuff:
You may already know what your giftee likes and would enjoy, and that's cool. If you don't know, no problem. Check out Profile Pages. A lot of the fun was posting on threads trying to get clues to what their person would like. *Talk* to other members and get ideas about your giftee.

All gifts are virtual gifts. They are images you gather and put together for your giftee. Gifts should be wrapped in Spoilers so they can *open* the gifts. Because these are virtual gifts, the cool and frosty thing is how thoughtful and creative Santas are and all Santas have been wonderfully thoughtful.

I'm sure we will all have fun. (We had a lot of people coming to the little board to check out the thread.)

Thank you, again.

Peace.

Sign me up please Sigs.
(Um... I might be missing something here but won't people know who their Santa is/was as soon as we 'post' our gifts? Or, does this not matter? Is it only secret while we are... shopping?)

 

[Sigmund]

I'll try to give examples.

One year a member had mentioned in a thread they had not been home to see their family in years. Their Secret Santa did the following:

Dear Susie Lou Who:

Spoiler: Gift

First class plane tickets to your family home

Spoiler: Gift

some spending cash

Enjoy your accommodations

Spoiler: Gift

No need to cook,

Spoiler: Gift

it's all catered

Enjoy Christmas with your family. Love and peace to all.

Santa.

Another question (I'm sorry-- I'm not feeling particularly bright today. )

So, you don't name the intended? (might people get mixed up about who it is supposed to be for?)
Sorry sigs...
