PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"OT Secret Santa?" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-31-07 AT 10:13 PM (EST)I know, it's still a little early for Christmas, but it does take a while to organize the Secret Santa. So, are we doing this again this year? Who's hosting? ETA: emydi has graciously offered to be our hostess this year. Thanks, emy!

Yes, he did. But I'm asking if anyone (other than me) wants to do it this year. I enjoyed hosting the year I did (or did I host the anniversary one?), and would enjoy doing it again, but if there is someone else who hasn't hosted before and would like to, I don't want to hog it.

OK, some sucker kind soul agrees to be the host (usually the one who starts the thread asking about it). There will be a sign up thread. We set a deadline to sign up, everyone who signs up sends a PM to the host with their address. We set a price range (usually $10 - $15?) and a deadline to have sent your gifts, but some people do go over. We'll have another thread, for likes and dislikes. After the deadline to sign up, the host will do a random draw, assigning giftees to giftors. You will receive your giftee via PM. Usually the first person to receive a gift will start a thread for everyone to post that they received it, and what they got. The giftees should try to guess who hir secret santa was at that time. Then, after everyone has received their gifts, the secret santas reveal themselves.Have I left anything out?

I think I hosted the "very first" OT Secret Santa (I could be wrong about that) and I only had one that did not follow thru. I bet you can guess who the Secret Santa was.....think banana.

I know that's happened a lot, but I will say this - the person I was "warned" would not follow through on sending a gift *DID* send a gift for the exchange I hosted. I'm not sure if I had a non-gifter, or just an extremely late gifter.

Another Arkie Masterpiece! Is that woman talented or what?

LAST EDITED ON 10-31-07 AT 03:32 PM (EST)Alright, I'll sign up. Couple of questions, was that a yes or no with Estee? (There was a threat joke made earlier in the year, and in a reciprocal demonstration of levity I will do a odds of survival the draw calculation. I may have to detonate any package with a NJ postmark on it). Also, have very many people simply quit posting after SS Christmases past? As if they, well, you know, had an accident? Or something? However, I'll have a mighty sweet (a metaphor? or literal?) present for my secret someone, heck, why should it be a surprise, it's a #### #####'ing ####-plated #######!

OK. I will admit that my SS gift arrived in Canada sometime close to Valentine's Day last year! But, it was not, and I repeat was NOT my fault! -- The border was very picky about addresses in Canada and mailed mine BACK to me. Then? It took about --ohhhhh 3 1/2 weeks and many, many, many phone calls and trips back to the offending post office before it made it to the recipient. I felt horribly about the arrival time! It really WAS completely the fault of transit (and I had P.O. receipts with dates and times to prove it to tribe and my SS)Thought I'd chime in and say, after this experience? If you get someone in Canada? Send it sometime this week to arrive by Christmas, or shop on-line and have it sent direct. I don't know if Canada ---> USA would be easier. I'd probably offer the same advice. As for me?-- Well-- I'd like to participate...
but I don't have an address to give out. I'll see if I can come up with a creative solution..

Yea, I hosted last year and it was a fun time. Thanks everybody for allowing me the opportunity to do so. I even see a couple of my host gifts being shown as well. Thank you.
I do have to admit to a small little glitch with a single gift that got lost in the mail and a trend towards the later arriving gifts being those that had to cross the Canada/US border.This might lead one to desire keeping the countries seperated when "randomly" picking secret santas. This practice is something, that even though on the surface seems judgemental and bigotted, that I wish I had instated last year. Even against the detractors who cited that with a smaller pool of secretsantas to choose from it would be easier to guess who had you and visaversa.
Keeping them seperated more than makes up for the level of stress provided by the cross-border postal snafus. Leaving plenty of leftover brain space for worrying about the natural procrastinators.  Have fun hosting, emydi!

Well, I know it was stressful for EMTBgirl, but I still get the giggles imagining the look of horror on her face when her package arrived back in her mailbox yet again. Does this make me a bad person?

My vote would be for the non-segregated OT gift exchange (but realize I didn't have any problems giving or receiving my gifts).
My reasoning is since that Canada only has a total population of 257 and most of us meet up twice a year (once for the annual polar bear hunt and once at the Sears Mail Order Outpost when the new catalogues come out to do our ordering for the year), it would be very easy to figure out who our Secret Santa is (and since we are all related anyway, we are already getting each other presents). Besides, since our shopping is very limited here, having an open SS means we might get something not from the Sears catalogue (and there is only so many ways to dress up pemmican)

84. "RE: OT Secret Santa?" |
Um, just a suggestion... Having another thread where we can post likes/dislikes may make more sense than PMing suggestions to you. I don't know about anybody else, but I don't really want to suggest my gift. I'd rather be happily surprised by whatever someone else has selected for me. There are a few things I can say I really can't or won't use, like candles after one cat set herself on fire and, racing through the house to get to the tub upstairs (where she went, not where I was racing her) could have easily torched the place. I, and most others, can give an idea about some generic things I like, and I know some peeps collect certain items. But, I really don't want my SS to feel limited by any suggestions I might make. I'd have missed out on some wonderful gifts if that had happened. Sending a list of suggestions along with my PM feels a little too much like a shopping list to me. YMMV. Thoughts?
