I have participated in Secret Santa on several forums, and always enjoyed the exchange.
It has been suggested that we have one on Tool Talk, but since I didn't think about it soon enough, I'm not sure we have enough time to organize it.
Here is a poll to see how many would be interested.
-
im all for it and willing to be one of the elves this year if you want.
-
I am all for it if we can get it going ASAP.
-
sounds good, we need to set a very soonish deadline for entrants, maybe Dec1?
value cap?
Skip
put me down for an international donor, I know the shipping is a bit more, but hey, it's Christmas.
-
whqt if everyone interested sends a pm with his/her snail mail address to awilling person and if it falls through we have lost nothing and if it goes through we have a head start I would be willing to accept the names and catalog them . someone else could help me with the rest . we could set adec 1 as deadline for applicants bob w.

I voted for #4 just because i'm a hopeless ball buster ;P
But, yes, if it's soon, i'm game, it was fun last year : )
-
I am FOR it !!!
-
Looks like we have some interest from a core of members.
I suggest we make a decision right away, and I hope more will decide to join in. International members are more than welcome to join, we will have members willing to mail overseas and to Canada.
Amertrac, if you are volunteering to manage the names and the pairings, I believe you will be the best choice. Any problems that come up, you and I can work them out.
Further discussion is needed-
Final date of joining
Final date of name pairing
Last possible date of mailing
Value is tough when dealing with old tools, but $25- $30 seems reasonable
-
we will have t0 work backwards
the last shipping date first having to facilitate over seas shipping
then the date of last accepting of names.The pairing could be the day after.If we make that date close at midnight. I am usually up at 4:30 every morning so thats not a problem. JUST GIVE YOUR HANDLE AND YOUR ADDRESS so i can find you if there any questions.

No ime not.......Ime serious.

Just before anyone has unpleasant thoughts about the holidays.
I DID sent this fine gent some zip ties, as he requested.
I sent them to all who asked.
Not because it's Christmas, but because I'm a giving kinda guy.
I would however, like to point out that I am NOT his Secret Santa.....
I'm sure his Santa gift will be along from the real Santa any minute now.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming .

Ps it was nothing against you. Sorry if it sounded like that didnt mean it to.
