Seasons Greetings folks,

So I’m feeling the Yule Tide spirit, and would like to gift a couple of subscriptions to some of our “guests”.  
Basically, what I’ll do is, gather up all the names on Christmas day (or maybe the day after depending on my schedule) and draw a couple from a hat.  
So guests, please drop your name in this thread so we can add your name to the hat.  
Also, if anyone else is in a giving mood, just let me know, and we’ll give away more subscriptions. **Tuba** , is going to help. [Link](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21389518#post21389518)

Thanks guys.  
ETA: No money is handled by me. It’s all done through the board.

Sure, money is tight around here. So, paying my Charter would help a tiny bit.

And, I am a fairly well known Amazon reviewer, I’d be happy to review the book, if you have a extra copy.

Well, if I _am_ lucky, the book will get a fair and fast review anyway.

Awesome! I’ll pull the names, and then on Christmas or the day after, I’ll send you a PM of who the person is you’re buying for. From there, just buy the subscription, and shortly after **Tuba** will contact you wanting to know if you wish to be anonymous or not.
