10th ANNUAL G.J. SECRET SANTA

[FlushingDIYer]

Man, I can't believe I missed this. Absolutely. I'm in.

 

[Agentwho]

Count me in too! Sending PM soon as I post this.

Oh yeah it's time for GJSS. I'm so glad I remembered to look in time. I've participated for the last few years and have had so much fun doing so. This really does help get me into the spirit of the Holliday's.

I would also like to add a big thank you for setting this up. I know it takes a lot of work and effort.

Damn, i've finally got back on line. New tablet so I can actually see the print.
If you will have me back, I'd be pumped to get back in.

Ignorant as normal, blew up my last phone Wednesday night, Friday morning into Verizon for a new one & go to hell, free tablet for $20 a month. New plan saved the woman & I over $140 a month. So I got her oneyes as well.

Tonight is the last night, tomorrow is the LAST DAY and new entries ends at 4:00 PM PST (7:00 PM EST)

From the rules:

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.

 

[GJSS]

And we have hit 128!, with less than 24 Hours to go till sign up close!

A list to check twice, to see who's been naughty or nice!

And the final count is 130! two more than last year , and for entertainment value, 80 were participants last year. - some of the remainder had skipped a year or two, so the count of new participants is less than 50...

[Cypherian]

She gone!

Tonight the sleuthery begins...

Just as soon as I get a name :} .. I am sure Santa's helper is busily playing pull the name out of the hat or some such thing :}

Cypher

 

[GJSS]

At least 2/3 of the PM's have been sent to the SS's! (waiting on the second elf to report, but probably close to done?)

 

[GJSS]

REMINDER!

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

New ASK: Please POST when you have shipped! This helps GJSS to track whats happening and field questions late in the game if a package is late/delayed!

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...

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

 

[gungatim]

when should we expect a PM for our SS victim? I thought that was supposed to be yesterday?

 

[creativecars]

Anxiously waiting with the elves in the work shop to see who my will be the lucky boy or girl and weather they will get coal or chrome??

 

[noid]

My SS gift has been shipped!

 

[Strouty]

I thought the entire idea of SS was to have it a secret???

 

[noid]

I've edited my response, but my understanding of SS has always been to be assigned to someone at random. They dont know what their gift is, and will find out who sent them the gift anyways

 

[Technologyteacher]

I'm still waiting to see who I am a SS for?

 

[loranger]

I'm still waiting to see who I am a SS for?

Haven't gotten mine either?

 

[The Cobbler]

So with respect to the PMs for the SS recipients.all of the matchings have been done, there are 3 elves that worked on sending PMs to notify the Santa who their victim is, I know 2 of the Elves have completed their task, the other Elf must have fallen asleep at the controls LOL
Be patient, You will get your victim details as soon as the elf can get to it.

 

[Strouty]

Too much egg nog?

 

[skipnay]

Too much egg nog?

I'm betting way not enough!!! Probably does his best work at night also!!!

 

[GJSS]

There are I think about thirty that have not been sent. This will happen tonight one way or another! The elf was sending at 4 to 5 AM and ran out of time...

 

[GJSS]

OK nearly there, and the last are going out as I type!! should be all done in an hour or so!

PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP!

I did not receive a PM with my victim.

 

[The Cobbler]

I did not receive a PM with my victim.

It shows as sent in my sent box. I did re send just now

Very strange... still nothing! I’ll send you a PM with my email address if that’s easier. I double checked my PM storage too and there is plenty of room.

 

[cweidert03]

Ordered my SS gift yesterday.. still need to think of some other goodies.
