OLTL Discussion Group
It's that time again! Time for our Christmas gift exchange to get under way. For those new posters, and any lurkers who would like to join us, let me go over how our exchange works. First, sign up here to let us know you wish to participate. Then email me at 79-corvette1@mchsi.com and give me your real name and mailing address. I will draw names and let you know who you will be sending a gift to. We have always tried to keep a $10 spending limit on these gifts, but home made gifts are even more cherished. Send me an email and put on your Secret Santa thinking caps!
I think we also need to set a deadline for signing up. Let's use Friday, November 20th as the cut-off date. I think that should be ample time to decide if you wish to participate. I will then do the drawing and send the names and mailing addresses out to each of you right away. At that time we usually do a new topic where each participant posts some gift ideas or hobbies to give their Secret Santa a hint as to what to get them. If you have any allergies, please note them in your topic. This will prevent someone from sending you scented candles if you are allergic to that scent.
Because we have posters from places other than Canada and the United States I would like to ask that if you are willing to spend some extra money on shipping that you let me know this in your email to me. This will help me in case some of our posters from other countries wish to join.
Once our gifts arrive, we usually do a new topic on the board, saying our gift has arrived. Try not to reveal who sent it to you, so as to not give away who your Secret Santa is. Either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day we open them and come to the board and reveal who our Secret Santa was and what our gift is.
If any one has questions or suggestions, now is the time to speak up. Please, Please, Please send your gifts in time to arrive before Christmas!
If you are interested in joining, please sign up below, AND send me an email that includes your real name and mailing address.
This is one of the best-est parts about Christmas gifts. I have enjoyed EVERY gift I've ever gotten from you peeps.
As Rusty said, it doesn't have to be expensive, it can be homemade or even something you got from an antique store. Keep the costs down, but share your love.
I am in!
I'm in!! Thanks Rusty Claus!
