I’m in! Yay for my first Dope Christmas! I’m female (duh ;)) I love t-shirts from strange places, I wear a M. An xmas ornament representing Santa’s locale would be amazing, I love to cook, I’m also 100% ok with NSFOIFOF gifts. Sending you my info now freckafree! ---

Me too! I am a girl, early 30s. I like floral scented bath and candle stuff (jasmine is a favorite). I’m a runner so any cold weather running stuff would be neat- socks, hat, neck warmer. Also I love handkerchiefs, small flowery feminine ones or big manly ones. Coffee and chocolate are always welcome! ---

I’m in and email’s sent. I’m a female, early 40s who loves Alice Cooper, the color green, cloth bracelets and knitted hats. I don’t drink coffee or tea. Other than that though, white chocolate is always good. 🙂 Thanks for taking this on **freckafree**. I think I’ve done it every year I’ve been a member and I always look forward to seeing who my Secret Santa is. ---

I waffled on this but I’ve decided to play after all, especially since we’ve quit doing gift exchanges in the family. I love getting things local to the giver, unless you live in Maryland, then you might want to be more creative. 😃 Love chocolate, hate coffee, love red, hate jewelry. Prefer to avoid mugs - I’ve amassed far too many that just clutter up the cabinet. Something artsy-fartsy would be cool. Email has been dispatched. ---

I just want to say that because of my “situation” (demented son of a bitch who lost his job), I over-promised stuff in 2009, and even though things did get better later on, and I wanted to “make good” on my Secret Santa, the person who was in charge, disappeared on me. I only wanted to send the 10 bucks, didn’t have it, but later on, **did** , and then my Santa recipients were gone and I could not get them back. Can somebody help me with the names, please? I _have_ the money _now_! A very embarrassed Q ---

I’m in! I don’t post much but I enjoy these sorts of things. I’m female, have a young child (she’ll be one on Dec 31st). I teach math and my hobby is hobbies. I’m interested in just about anything (except sports, at which I’m terrible). The only thing I’m at all allergic to is artificial strawberry flavoring. ---
