It’s time for this year’s Straight Dope Secret Santa!
Here are the guidelines (shamelessly copied from last year’s OP) with the relevant info changed:
The Guidelines:
-
Gifts should be in the $10 range
And no White Elephant stuff unless you are absolutely positive your giftee would appreciate it. -
Gifts should be G-rated
I wanna open mine on Christmas morning, don’t you? If you want something more risque, then post your request. Hopefully, your Secret Santa will comply with your wishes. -
No one under 18 permitted to participate
Quoth TubaDiva: “Sorry to be grinchy to the younger set, but due to the fact that minors shouldn’t give out their email addresses to strangers (and you have to admit, we’re all pretty strange), the Secret Santa must be limited to adults only.”
How to Play:
Email me at sdmbsecretsanta@hotmail.com (please use this instead of my regular email address)
Please include the following:
- Screen Name
- Real Name
- Mailing Address (including country)
I will then randomly assign the Secret Santas. I will forward your address only to your Secret Santa.
DO NOT POST YOUR ADDRESS OR OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE BOARD
I am going to try to sort them by country/continent. Last year, we had a bit of a problem with slow international mails, so hopefully we can avoid that this year.
Deadline for participation:
I must receive your information by Friday, November 22. You will receive the name and address of your giftee by Wednesday, November 27.
A final thought:
If you aren’t absolutely sure that you’ll be able to get your gift in the mail on time, please be a sport and not participate. Don’t dissapoint your giftee.
This year, I’ll post the names of the people who have sent me their addresses so that they know that I have gotten their information.
I figure we don’t really need a separate Wish List thread. So, if you have a wish, post it here.
So, who’s in?
