> [@freckafree](#): > > **Quasi** , no need to be embarrassed. I think last year’s Secret Santa exchange is like water under the bridge where Jesus flang it. If you want to join in this year, just e-mail me (freckafree at hotmail dot com) your info. FWIW, I totally agree. ---

What the heck, I’d like to play! And I’ll send internationally, if that is needed. Email to follow. I like chocolate, good books, and coffee cups for my collection. Or surprise me, that’s always fun! ---

YAY - I’m so excited!! Not to be too pushy, but when do you think you’ll have our giftee names out? I"m hoping to shop on Friday and have my gift sent by the weekend - it might take a bit more time for mine to arrive if it’s going to the US. 🙂 ---

I’m guessing she hasn’t had a chance to finish them yet. It takes a while to get it all organized and send out all the emails. ---

I Hope this gets setup in the next few days. International mail needs at least 10 to 12 days delivery time. ---

She hasn’t been around since Thursday – I just sent her a message at Facebook to see if anything’s wrong. ---

OK, all youse Santas (which I just mistyped as “Satans”)! Your Secret Santa recipient names have all been sent out. Thank you for your patience! If you signed up and didn’t receive a name, PM me! If you did not want to ship internationally and I gave you an international Santee, also PM me. (I think I got all those straight, but one never knows…) ---

Please post when you have put your gift in the mail, and please post when you have received your gift, even if you plan to hold off and open it on Xmas day, so your Santa will know it arrived. Have fun, everybody! 🙂 ---
