How to be involved:
1. Post here that you are in, then send me a PM with your name and address.
2. On the 28th of November at 8PM EST I 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, but it may happen). By 10 PM EST I will PM you back with who you are the Secret Santa for.
3. You should try to have your Secret Santa Gift to your member 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.
5. When you get your package, post a pic of it by the tree, upside down tree, menorah or what have you.
6. If you participate, you must be willing to ship to our overseas members.
7. When you get the name of your member, it may be helpful to review his posts and find his likes and dislikes. This can be exhausting and difficult, but it makes it part of the fun!
8. There is no monetary limit, but would suggest to stay under around $30.00. You can send somebody something new or used, or even something you made yourself!
9. When Christmas day comes, we post what our Secret Santas got us.
10. This year, there will be a requirement to be a senior member (have over 100 posts when signing up) or be a member here since July 2011.
I will periodically list members who are participating and put an asterisk next to their name if I have their info. If you don't have an asterisk by your name, then I don't have your contact info.
All I ask is that if you do commit to this, then please follow through. If for some reason you decide to back out, let me know as soon as possible and arrangements can be made so someone isn't left out. Every year we have people who cover for the one or two jerks who commit to the event and then disappear.
This is done with the spirit of giving in the holiday season, So I 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 small few who make it difficult.

P.S. No money required....
