Odd - same computer a few hours later and I see it! Maybe my eyes are failing me. Thanks again for organizing!

Yay!!! Looking forward to this! I missed the sign up last year, and just so happened to come to the site today because of the newsletter email.

Wharvey, thank you so much for organizing this! I realize that inadvertently when I sent my private message I did not include the number I was requesting in my title. My handle is first along with secret Santa 2016. Also, because I missed the fact that first timers can only request one but I wasn't sure of having done this in the past I think I requested two.

Is it too much work for you if I resubmit? What would you prefer? I was going to resubmit because I thought of a couple of extra things that may be good info to know for my Santa, and because technically I didn't follow the guidelines to a "T"- but again I want to be respectful that this is a lot of work for you so if you don't need/want me to resubmit I won't. I don't want to create extra effort for you if it's unnecessary.

I plan on sending a mix of local things, things I bought with that person in mind, and things I'm picking up during my upcoming December vacation. We return to the mainland on the 19th so here's hoping I can get that package to arrive literally on Christmas Eve for my participant. It will depend where are my person is. If I think it's going to be cutting it too close I will just leave out the things from this upcoming trip. I always pick up extra little gifts in my travels so maybe I'll send something from my September trip instead.

I'm so excited too I have finally gotten a chance to participate!

-Nikki

Secret Santa 2016

I'm in again. I had a great time last year and can't wait to surprise a few folks this year!

Thanks, again, WHARVEY for "herding us cats" in the Secret Santa exchange.

I'm enjoying having the Santa under my name. Nice kickstart to the Christmas state of mind. This is my first year participating and am anticipating much merriment! Can't wait to see who my Santee is!

Speaking of cats...

Everybody who shares their life with a pet (or several...) is welcome to join in the Santa Paws thread, too.

Seems there's a goodly long list of participants so far. It will be interesting to see how many more cast their hat into the ring during this final week.
