Secret Santa 2017

I hate to remind everyone, but it's that time again!

Some of us need lead time to participate, so let's get going! I really look forward to this time as I no longer have family to shop for.

You are my family now!

I would love to participate, and as an early bonus gift to all of you, I recuse myself from the role of organizer.

I had a volunteer organizer, but she had a relapse of mononucleosis, so she's probably out.

So, little interest this year. Too bad. I have only two home periods left until Xmas. I can shop online, but have to be home to mail things. Someone PLEASE step up and get this off the ground!

Well I can organize for you if you like, but it looks like there are only 4 interested so far. Still want to do it?

If anyone likes getting pressies and feels OK about not sending one in return (maybe finances are tight or logistics are impossible or you'd rather make a donation to a charity of your choice in your own time in lieu......) PM too -we have several dwellars who want to send but not receive and I'd like to include them if possible. Don't need to know your reason

(if that ends up working out, we may need to thank Santas privately to preserve anonymity of those who wish it...) ....winging it here. Or hoofing it, given the mode of transport Santa prefers
