Old rule was that a person had to be a Senior Member. So, you're fine.

[woody 73]

[lipadj46]

Can I get in, or am I too new?

Yes just don't send out bunch of HF ****

 

[boro_boy70]

It was fun last year, I'd love to do it again.

 

[superautobacs]

Although it was a bit difficult to figure out a suitable gift for my chosen member, I had a good time. I'd definitely do it again!

 

[chadster1]

I hope I get my guy from last year so I can send him an empty package and then tell him to pound sand like he did to me.

I sure hope nobody gets sidetracked and everyone actually sends their gifts out before Christmas.

 

[larry_g]

If there is no tonnage limit I would like to get in.

Are you allowed to give some of the great HF stuff like the items in the "pass fail" thread that are clearly allways a Pass?

You are allowed to give whatever gift it is in your heart to give, that you think another member would appreciate.

Anyone who complains about something given in the genuine spirit of the season is a Grinch.

Very well put Bull; thank you.

 

[bmwpower]

I'd personally like to see the post count much higher than it was before.

And for people maybe not to let **** from last year poison this year. No sense in that.

 

[robertgreen79]

I know I'm new, but if possible, I'd love to be a part of this

 

[mrholeshot]

Can someone please explain how this works because I def want in.

 

[gc11090]

Here is last years thread........................

And the thread showing what everyone got last year...................

And the rules from last year.

OK,

Tis the season again. For those who are new this year to the board, welcome to the 2009 GJ Secret Santa for Senior Members. We had a great time last season and hopefully this year will be even better.

Link to Last Year's Secret Santa Thread

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 is open to Senior members (over 100 posts) as of the last day at 8pm on the 28th of November.

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.

Lets roll

 

[gj67stang]

Wow, this sounds like fun! I better get my post count up so I can participate.

 

[Taylor J.]

[blown94conv]

Count me in, I missed last years and have a few good items already picked out.

 

[Garage_Mahal]

I'd personally like to see the post count much higher than it was before.

Somewhere in the 11,000 range sound good to you?

I'm in BTW.

 

[00pewter]

I am in as well!

 

[89MustangGX]

I was so bummed that I didn't participate last year, I actually picked up my first SS item for this year back in February and have been adding ideas and items to my list ever since!

I'm definitely in!

[blue dog]

I would like to participate.

 

[lwlobo]

A GJ Secret Santa exchange. Best news I've had all day! What will they think of next, a pyramid sales scheme for tools, complete with consultants, parties, and guilt trips?

Now to scheme about what to get, something German, I'm thinking. Or something vintage? Or something German and vintage.

I'm definitely in.

 

[Cummins_Powered]

Dang, Im in.

 

[Ed_EOD]

I'm in. My gift will have to be sent from online to get there in time though. I should be home for Christmas to report what sweet doodads I got.

 

[mrholeshot]

I'm in so put me on the list

 

[Stick Figure]

i'm in, at least that way i should end up with at least one good gift this year! GF's don't usually pick out good tool gifts. lol

 

[mikeweb]

GF's don't usually pick out good tool gifts. lol

Thats why I just ask for a gift card, this way I can get whatever I want

I figured out what im getting my girl this christmas.. kitchen aid mixer, this way I can get cookies out of it

And for people maybe not to let **** from last year poison this year. No sense in that.

Of course. Just a suggestion. Just trying to avoid any bad apples from spoiling things.
