UPDATED NOTES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, PLEASE READ!!! I want to get this started a bit earlier, and get names out to people a bit earlier this year rather than last. I do not like seeing people not get gifts until mid to late January, because we have all come off of our holiday spirit high and many feel they had been forgotten long before then. Do not buy a gift that won't ship for 2 months, do your research and don't be a Grinch. I will close sign up on November 23rd, and draw names the following day, Sunday, November 24th, that give you just over a month to buy something and have it shipped. If you have a problem shipping to Canada, or are not willing to spend an extra few bucks sending a gift up to a VolvoSpeeder in the 51st state, go ahead and do yourselves a favor and don't sign up. It's possible to order a gift from Canada, and have it shipped to an address in Canada, thus making it cheaper to ship and not breaking the bank. Consider shipping cost before buying gifts, I have no objection to spending more money (and I normally do) but I don't want anyone crying that they don't want to pay the extra $10-15 to ship something to Canada. After signing up, please send me a PM right after with your address. If you post your name on the list, please put a t-shirt size next to it, so the person who potentially gets you doesn't have to discreetly PM you through me and can easily buy a shirt if they feel so inclined.
YOU MUST BE A SUPPORTING MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT! YOU HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER 23RD TO BECOME ONE IF YOU WANT IN.

Who wants to do it this year? Lets get a names list going, figuring gifts+shipping to be around $25-30 unless you get someone you wish to buy something more expensive for, but that is up to you. Lets shoot for $25-30 after shipping and for all gifts to be to the recipients house/address by Christmas. This means if you ship priority on the 20th it will arrive by Christmas (most of the time), it's not that hard.
Lets get a list going to see who might be in. I think it's only fair that supporting members participate since that "should" help to decrease the amount of people who didn't get a gift but gave one last year. If you cannot afford a $25 gift, do not waste your time, it is distasteful to sign up and not give a gift, that is not in Christmas/Holiday Spirit!
List your names here, I'll run the names list through the next month or so, and on December 1st names will be chosen (randomly by yours truly) and that information will be sent out to each person that has chosen to participate. If you decide to sign up, please PM me the following so that this will work smoothly. I will continually update this first post to add if you need to still send me your address.
Full Name
Street Address
City, State
Zip Code
If your name is Red, you still need to give me your info, if it is green that means you are not a supporting member but if you wish to participate I will leave your name on the list, if you are not a supporting member by November 23rd, then you will not participate in this event, no ifs and's or buts.
