Remember this is an unofficial record and that you must PM wharvey when you ship and receive gifts as per the rules in the first post!
This is an unofficial wiki maintained by steveman518. Please fill in gifts you've received if you can. However if you can't, steveman518 will check every post-PM for questions as well

Once again, I'm in! I was thinking way too long whether to join this year - some changing circumstances in my life - and finally decided to jump in. It's a truly joyful event, and I'm not yet ready to miss it

Full disclosure... We're up in the northern Adirondack Mountains of NY State (close to Canada).

Santa update.
I updated post #2 with all members who have submitted proper information. If your handle is not on that post, then you are not in the mix yet.
Several of you indicated in this thread that you were going to join but I have not received your information. The deadline is Nov 11.

Someone else mentioned that they were on a list (or willing to be) of back up Santas in case someone didn't get a present. As a first timer, and I excluded from offering to do this as well? I have an extra little something set aside just in case, but wasn't sure about the rules for that.

As I don't want to complicate things for wharvey at the very last minute, I just thought I'd throw one more potential gift idea for me on here in case a Santa reads it - I *just* broke my can opener, so I am now in need of a new can opener (preferably without a stupid plastic handle for the turny bit!).

Signups for Secret Santa are now closed.... I will be working over the next few days to get all assignments done and out to you...
Please be patient with me; I am balancing this with getting ready for the hubby's Dad visit from Bogota Colombia this week. He wants all the Christmas décor up before he arrives... oh vey!
Finally, as always, I hope that everyone follows through on their commitments and that there will be no need for extra Santas... but I appreciate those willing to help!
As always, if I have a need, I will reach out on this thread at that time.

If anyone wants additional assignments or wants to sign up, feel free to send me a message.
If I get enough participants, I will do a second round of assignments in December.
For first time participants, you can only get a second or more assignment if I have confirmation that your original Santa received their first gift from you!

Woohoo! Assignments received! I have already started with my homework on my Santees and will be doing some shopping this week. International shipping takes its time
Now I'm just waiting for the little red flying dude next to my handle.

Received my assignment, and already have 80% of their package put together. Apparently we enjoy similar things so I knew exactly how to get my hands on some nifty gift ideas that popped up after reading the tell me about yourself section. Hopefully everything can come together (waiting on UPS) before the December round opens so that I might be able to do this one last time!

This is terrific fun! Got my assignment and am enjoying the feeling of anonymity as I brainstorm ideas for my Santee. I certainly don't want my Santee to be disappointed with any gifts so I'm giving this some purposeful thought.
