On a personal note, Head Santa wants to thank those who have reached out as in years past to do something for me.

This is a labor of love... so nothing is expected.... but truly appreciated. I still have such fond memories of the first time this happened back in 2004 or 2005 when Nancy collected funds for a $700 gift card that got me the 27" computer monitor I still use to this day. It was a tremendous gesture and I still think of Flyertalk every time I see that monitor.

I am not one to post the information publicly... even though it could probably be found through an extensive Google search.... but I have provided my private contact information and some things about me to HeadElf53. If any of you want that information and want to keep "secret", feel free to Private Message HE53 and he will forward the information to you.

Every year I think this will be the last year.... but I cannot quit this tradition... I just hope people have as much fun participating as I do coordinating over the years. While I do not participate personally anymore due to the costs I incur making up for delinquent Santas after the fact, I still live through your posts.

Back to your shopping.
