Yes, Dopers, it’s that time of year again! And, having run this endeavor [last year](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=397154&) , evidently I’m still mad enough to wanna do it again this year. Doper Ornament Exchange ``` ~ 2007 ~ ``` If you want to participate, email me at mwg @ radix dot net (same email address as in my profile, if I enabled that correctly… my AIM ID is also there). Rules, Requests and Suggestions [ol] [li]Must be a member to participate (no “Guests” please)[/li][li]In your sign-up email, include your user name, your real name, and your mailing address[/li][li]If you don’t hear back from me (either in the thread or by direct email) that I’ve added you to the list, remind me - I think one person had trouble getting through to me last year and nearly got missed[/li][li]If you are willing to ship internationally, please so state.[/li][li]In any email to me, please put “SDMB Ornament Exchange” in the subject line, as well as your SDMB username. This will reduce the chances of your email being inadvertently round-filed with the “V-one-at-gra emails”[/li][li]When you send your ornament, PLEASE wrap carefully to avoid disappointment on the part of the excited recipient[/li][li]Please post and/or email me when you ship your ornament and when you receive your ornament. [/li][li]If you sign up, and later find you cannot send anything, please let me know; this will (hopefully) reduce the chances of someone being disappointed. [/li][/ol] 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 ---

[QUOTE=Jodi] I’m in! Is there a dollar limit? [/QUOTE] 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 🙂 **Anaamika Eureka Mr Bus Guy Scarlett67 Mama Zappa freckafree Zabali\_Clawbane Jodi Alice The Goon gardentraveler Thirdwarning Anaglyph** ---
