Jen
It can be one shipment or multiple. Some will have items shipped directly from merchants, others will ship the presents themselves. I've done both, and had Santas do both. If you send multiple shipments, it is helpful to indicate to your recipient that you are sending multiple shipments, so they know to expect other shipments. It also helps if you find some way to identify that they are all from one person, as some participants have more than one Santa.

OK, first.... my commitment to the CommunityBuzz moderators is that we have only ONE Santa thread each year... so photos need to be kept within this thread.

Second, I have updated the second post with who all has submitted proper info for Santa. If you are not on there, then something was not correct... and you probably have a message from me.

Third, for the new additions you will get your Santa icons shortly... be patient.

Finally, I have started to do some assignments. I have to ask again, PLEASE provide some good details/hints about yourself.... many of you have provided little or no information. If you decide you want to update your information, please send me a NEW private message with all the information... as though it is a new submission... I am not going to copy and paste into a new message. THANKS!

I've decided to do this year. I'm excited. I love the season, despite working in retail, but have fewer people to buy for anymore. This sounds perfect and I love the challenge and the hunt for the perfect gift.

REMINDER AGAIN!

You MUST address your PM to me and have your FT Handle and "Secret Santa 2014" in the title. I received four overnight that did not.

Also, if you see someone on the "signed up list" in post number 2 that you would like to get assigned to you, feel free to PM me that request.

I'm really looking forward to this. The past 2 holiday seasons have been very subdued due to death and illness in the family. This will be a perfect way to get back into the shopping/wrapping/surprises scene!

I'm in. Haven't been active in this site and decided to check it out. See a private message from Santa to remind me. How sweet.

Secret Santa 2014

Good morning,

I would like to participate in the Secret Santa 2014. This will be my first time.

It was requested for me to provide the information below:

I reside in Texas. I have a family of three and I am a mom to a 2 yr old. I try to have no more than two family trips per year, either domestically or international (mainly to visit family internationally). I value Southwest points, Hyatt points & IHG points (programs usually requires minimum number of points per trip) for travel. Also, I participate in other non-travel reward programs that help benefit my family.

Hi Sandra
That info (and more!) is supposed to be sent in a private message. (Go back to the first thread on the instructions on exactly as it should be sent to wharvey)
You need to copy and paste the questions asked and then answer them and send as a PM (make sure you address the PM correctly)
Enjoy!
PS Santas would probably prefer a bit more info on gifts you'd like than just points program's as some wouldn't be accessible to a lot of santas.

Sandra,

Per my message to you when you sent me info, you need to answer the questions in the first post in a message to me.

You did not even provide an address... how would someone send you anything?
