Yes, Dopers, it’s that time of year again! And, having run this endeavor last year , evidently I’m still mad enough to wanna do it again this year.

I’ll try to send out the first batch of matches by the 3rd of December. I may be able to do another round of matches after that if we have enough interested latecomers.
Standard disclaimer: I’ve checked this out with CajunMan and SKipMagic and been given approval
I’m in, and I guess I should go post about the Secret Santa Exchange, since I decided to host that one this year! :smack: Anyway, you’ll get an e-mail shortly.
Odd - I thought I had enabled that last year. Hopefully I did it right just now, but in any event it’s in the first posting (just got to get rid of the “dot” and spaces).
I don’t think there’s a specific dollar limit but we’re not, I imagine, talking Waterford Crystal - honestly I’d think most ornaments wind up being in the 5-15 dollar range. Some folks have even done handmade ornaments.
The list so far. I’ll bump this every few days until December 3rd when I’ll make the final matches; as noted, if we get a couple latecomers after that I’m willing to match them also but no guarantees. If you’ve emailed me and I’ve responded but you don’t see your name on the list, smack me with a clue-by-four
