I know that this isn't important right now but I was wondering if anyone knew if we were going to do the secret santa thing this year. It was so much fun last year. Just wondering is all.. Thanks for any info.

51 pages done in 2004I think we should too.. I have no idea who is hosting.. That's why I was asking for any info.
I vote to do it again too.. It was a blast :)
Sounds interesting, but can you elaborate on what it is? Some of us weren't around a year ago. :-)
sounds fun and interesting but could you explain it me please. thanks Lin
I believe Shelley hosted the Secret Santa last year, so I'm thinking we'll need to find another host/organizer if we want to do the "Secret Santa" again.

I've never hosted a "Secret Santa" but have organized other projects...and if people are agreeable, I would play hostess.

Oh that sounds like fun!! I would love to participate, but not sure if I could host it. (I've never hosted any kind of online swap before!) Anyone gullible...err....wonderful enough to start this? :-)
Hmmm...maybe we need to start with the host/organizer's responsibilites, duties, requirements, etc. Anyone familiar enough with Secret Santa to let us know that?
Oh I'm sorry.. It starts sometime in November is what I remember. I just looked and I had saved the rules from last year. This is what they said.
Also remember that you can send secret cards, ecards etc to build the excitement for your secret santa!
1- Email me your full name, snail mail address and email. 2- I will match give you the info of someone on the group. 3- You MUST be a regular poster on the group for 3 months to participate. 4- You will spend 10.00 ( more if you want to) on a scrap / acid free gift. 5- If you sign up PLEASE follow through with it. We do not want anyone to be disappointed. 6- You will not be matched in pairs, it will be random. 7- Remember this is a SECRET. 8- You can NOT open it until December 25th. 9- After you open your gift, please post in the next few days to the group to thank your secret Santa! Most of all..........HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was a lot of fun getting emails or real cards in the mail and you had no idea who they were from. Some people would give their secret santa clues as to where they lived.
I hope this answers any questions :)

Yeah Shelley hosted it last year.. I remember her hosting it for a long time. There used to be a Secret Bunny but they didn't do it last year. They did it the first year that I joined but I wasn't on long enough to join in. I was so excited when I was able to join the Secret Santa.
Anyone up to hosting? :)
I was just thinking about this a few days ago, just haven't been to the ng in a while. I was going to offer to host, but was going to wait a while to start. I've hosted plenty of swaps in my time, just nothing recently. I'll do it if no one else wants to!

I'd love in on the secret santa as well! It was so heart warming reading all the posts last year!
Count me in too.
I'd love to participate again! Barb:o)
I think we need to decide on a host. I think we've had 2 gracious offers.
