You have your own place on a special Santa naughty list!

Thanks Jinxy... that is the price I pay for not being willing to do 3-4 hour daily round trip commutes to Atlanta.

Thanks wharvey for all you do for this community and sorry to hear you're still out of work after all this time

I gave up a job once because I simply could no longer handle the 3-hour daily drive back/forth to my job. It was a great job, but at some point the benefits - including the salary - no longer outweighed sitting behind a wheel for that long every day.

Back on topic...is it okay to ask how many people have signed up so far? (Yes, newbie question.)

I have wanted to participate in the past but did not have the time to commit.

This year is a go! ^

OK... I had seven sign ups in my inbox this morning that did not follow the rules.... I will no longer send any messages.... if you do not see your handle in post #2 when updated, you can assume you did not follow the simple directions.

Two? years ago, daughter got a book from Japan from an FT Secret Santa (sorry I can't remember who) about a little boat in the tsunami. The boat was named Kamome. We've read it a ton of times and she just started talking about it yesterday and telling me how much she loved the book and how sweet it was that Kamome got back home. My daughter is 4.5 and remembers every detail of the book and now wants to go to Japan.
This is why I LOVE FT and LOVE the Secret Santa. Thanks again Santa and thanks Wharvey for all you do to make this happen

Hi - I'm a first timer. I already screwed up my first PM by not doing the subject line properly, so I redid it. Now I see that I'm only allowed to send one gift this year but I put down three. I'm hoping that's okay and that it will be adjusted down to one. Will look for my name to make sure I am compliant! Thank you for running this - it must be a lot of work!
