I've obviously been away too long..... what secret santa?


and please don't say "it's a secret".

[RedThorn]

basically those who want to join in gets their name place into a proverbial hat. a random name is drawn from the hat and sent to you. You buy them a little Christmas pressie for the person who gets drawn out for you and post it to them and the person who got your name buys you a little gift and posts it to you. Couple of rules apply though read through the Secrect santa poll thread to see what I mean. Any questions ask or PM me

[RedThorn]

I'm keeping the list of who's partaking secret, as not all who are on the list have posted publicly that they want to partake to keep their anonymity! making it more of a challenge to trace who sent it

So if you want to play low profile, PM me directly.

Those who are on the list, will have received a PM from AL or myself, letting them know that they are on it(the List) and will receive details in the coming weeks

[RedThorn]

Ok quick update, I now have more than half of the addresses - big thank you to all!

Still open for people to join, so if you you would like to partake, please PM me

[RedThorn]

Wow thanks everyone, Had a massive response for the addresses! Thank you all! there's now 67 people on the list with only 18 addresses outstanding and I know that some people are on holiday

Also bumping this for those that have not yet seen this. So if you want to join in, please read above

[zazen999]

Are you going to give a deadline for addresses RT; you need a cut-off point or you'll be scrabbling round trying to sort stuff out the week before Christmas?

[RedThorn]

Mo and I will agree a deadline week after next and sort out our plan of attack

Mo's also put a provisional deadline of the 24th of November on the other thread for names and addresses...

[Flummery]

Do you need to know people's gender? Might make a difference if people want to send gender-specific presents?

[zazen999]

Hopefully RT will be telling the giver the name and address and the Grape name; it's only who it is from that's the secret.

As long as we've got the Vine name we can check out the profile and posts and make an educated (?????) guess as to gender and interests. My present last year was lovely - thanks to whoever sent it!!

Am I too late to join/ be committed?

Did you never work it out?! How lovely.

I sussed who mine was from and the person I sent to also worked out who sent it - didn't spoil the fun any mind you The whole idea is superb - well done Lynda66 for suggesting and organising it last year xx
