Please remember to PM wharvey both when you ship your gifts (with contents and tracking for each recipient) and when you receive your gifts (with contents and a name for your santa if possible)!

Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:
[img]your URL here[/img]

There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

Gifts Received
Please please please PM wharvey when you have received/opened your gifts!
Include pictures if you can-and please only link to posts once you have unwrapped your gifts!

Your handle should be FIRST... and it should be your FT handle, not wharvey!

Guilty as charged. Got carried away with copy and paste.

Thanks again for doing this. Even though i cringe at the thought of Christmas coming so quickly.

Just a note: it`s not nice or fair to send out airline onboard goodies you might recieve when flying business or first...

I don't agree.

My first year participating my Santa included an F amenity kit (unopened, intact) with a humorous note in my box of assorted gifts. The box clearly exceeded the $50 value mark, so Santa wasn't being cheap, just responding to something I had posted about not long before the gift swap.

Maybe don't use airline swag as part of the $50 minimum, but beyond it, it can be done with grace and humor.

Agree. I've received a few amenity kits as part of assorted gifts, and I've enjoyed receiving each one. In all those cases, though, it was obvious that the kit wasn't being computed in the $50 minimum.

Wharvey, I've messaged you around 10 days ago, and have not been added onto the list. I understand you are very busy, so may not have seen my application, but I've more likely made a mistake. Please let me know if I need to reapply. Thanks

Posting so I can see my Santa icon. Excited to participate again this year. I've been collecting travel souvenirs for my giftee throughout this year.

If your name isn't in the second post of the thread (which it isn't), you need to resubmit
