    Ok, there was a previous thread about doing a secret santa game on F-chat and a lot of folks were interested, so we're doing it.

    For those that do not know, a secret santa is where you sign up, and you get a persons name/address/username and your job is to buy them a christmas (or chunnukah/kwanzaa/etc) present. In turn, your name will be assigned to someone else and they will buy a present for you.

    The present is sent to the receiver but you do not say who it's from - thats the secret part. People can guess based on what they got, and the mailing city on the package, but beyond that it's a secret :)

    The recommended amount to spend would be maybe $20-40. It's just a guideline but the idea is not to get extravagant gifts, but rather funny/meaningful gifts. You are free to buy what you like but that's the suggested range.

    The idea would be to do little looking into the posts of the person you're assigned to and get them something that you think would be appropriate to them. Or, you can just get something you think would be fun.


    Signup starts NOW and goes through Wednesday, November 22nd at 12pm (noon).

    On the evening of the 22nd, you will get an email with who you are to get the present for.

    You can send the present whenever you like but definitely try to get it there before XMas (Dec.25th). Remember that we will have some international posters participating so it can take 10-14 days for items to arrive to international places if shipped US Mail.

    To sign up, send an email to [email protected] with the following information

    1. Your FerrariChat username
    2. Your name and complete mailing address


    Some folks were concerned with privacy. You don't HAVE to put your real name if you don't want, and you could have it sent to your work if you are concerned about privacy. If that doesn't make you feel comfortable, there isn't much else that can be done. The only folks who will see your info are me, and the person who is assigned to be your santa. I will keep everyones info in strict confidence as I am sure your santa will too.

    Anyone who is subscribed is welcome to participate. If you are not subscribed but have more than 100 posts (i.e. not a brand new member) you are welcome to participate too.

    Nobody wants to be gipped so make sure if you sign up you will follow through and send your gift!

    I will make a seperate thread starting 11/23/06 where people will post pics and/or details of what they got and how they like it.

    I encourage all to participate, it will be a lot of fun! Post to this thread if you sign up, that way I will ensure I got an email from you and if I see someone posting they signed up but I didnt get an email I will PM them to get the info.

    Happy holidays!

    eh, still don't feel comfortable doing that.

    Jungathart, if you want to send me something, then I will surely send you something. We are friends, and I trust you.

    Err, ok thanks for posting to let us know you won't be participating :rolleyes:

    If you want to set up something privately, please take it to PM - the thread is for people who are doing the secret santa and I'd rather it not get cluttered up with lots of tangential arrangements. Thanks.
