I love this, and I get the coolest gifts! That being said, the problem I have is on the other end. Please, if you get gifts-please post that you GOT THEM! If people go to the trouble of buying and sending you gifts, and if this era of package theft, and slow mailing, people want to know you got your gift! Some people live in apartment complexes where other people sign for packages, or packages get stolen. Please, please post your gifts were received-personally, I would rather you post a quick message saying you got your gifts and loved them than waiting a month for a longer post raving about them with a picture.

Just sent my PM in with the info. Looking forward to doing it again this year! And thanks for all your work every year.
Glad to see the phone number was added as a field this year. Will make it a little easier since a lot of vendors ask for it.

Santa Message:
Please note that I have changed the deadline to November 13th. I want to get final assignments out a few days earlier to give more time for shipping due to all the current supply chain and shipping delays.
In addition, we will be going to Hawaii for our anniversary so need to get everything out before we travel.
Also, due to the lack of signups I sincerely doubt that I will be sending out early assignments as I have done in the past. I apologize for that.... but it is always contingent on getting enough signups early so I can try not to duplicate past assignments.

A shame there have not been many sign ups- has the word been put out by FT? I think a banner announcement is how I found this for the first time
