One of Santa's elve's here, just to let you know about the annual GJ Secret Santa
Please read & understand fully below .
We're all here to have fun, lets keep it that way.
We're all looking forward to another year

How to participate: (PLEASE READ!)

Secret Santa this year will again be only be for Senior members... Those who have over 100 posts.... (So if you are under and want to participate, get posting!)

There are two exceptions.

1. Alliance members in current good standing can join regardless of post count.

2. Those who are not senior members can participate by having two (2) senior members vouch for their character and belief that they are genuine in their fulfillment of their word and will send a genuine gift.


We would also like to clarify what the value of the gift should be..... There has never been a set monetary low or high limit.... What the gift should be is something that the member recipient should use, cherish and remember.... It is highly encouraged to read through your recipients posts and to try to figure out what he/she would use and enjoy.

Give what you can.... Give within your means.... If you have the means, then by all means...... I'll leave it at that....

EDIT: Special Note:
Use the following thread for hints to help your Santa
https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=374466

PLEASE READ ALL BELOW!

************************************************** ****************

1. Post here that you are in on this thread... THEN IMMEDIATELY!! Private Message (PM) GJSS with your name and your full address... If you say you are in, and we don't get a PM with your info, then you are not in!

2. On the 27th of November at 4PM PST entry for Secret Santa ends... We will gather all the participants names and put them in a hat and draw random names. Secret Santas are not reciprocal, meaning the member you are Secret Santa for is not necessarily your Secret Santa (Completely random, so it may happen). That night, (or the next morning) We will PM you back with who you are the Secret Santa for.

3. You should try to have your Secret Santa Gift to your recipient by the 20th of December.

4. Mark your parcel in some way with Secret Santa so the member doesn't inadvertently open it. It is OK to include your name in a place so when the package is opened on Christmas, the person can know who it was from, OR you can do so anonymously - your choice!.

5. When you get your package, post a pic of it by the tree, upside down tree, menorah or what have you...

6. The spirit of Secret Santa is to include all of our overseas and American continent neighbors.... However, If shipping to an overseas member would cause a financial hardship, please let us know when you send your PM.

7. When you get the name of your member, it may be helpful to review his/her posts and find their likes and dislikes. This can be exhausting and difficult, but it makes it part of the fun!

8. When Christmas day comes, we post what our Secret Santas got us.

9. Make sure you PM Us (GJSS) with your address!! We cant do this without a full address........!!!!!!! PLEASE be sure to double check your address and Zip code! (Don't ask why...)


We will periodically list members who are participating and put an asterisk next to their name if We DO NOT have their info. If you don't have an asterisk by your name, then We have your shipping info.


******** All We ask is that if you do commit to this, then please follow through. If for some reason you decide to back out, let us know as soon as possible and arrangements can be made so someone isn't left out. Every year we have had people who cover for the one or two scrooges who committed to the event and then disappeared. ************

This is done with the spirit of giving in the holiday season, So we try to remember that we are doing pretty well considering the volume of members that do participate and have a great time, it is just a tiny few who make it difficult.

Cheers!

I decided to quote the rules! I would like to be in Secret Santa and GJSS should have my PM in seconds!
