Are we allowed to amend out message for items we love? I thought of something else I love to get that I forgot to put in the message.

2. Remember, sign up and changes end this weekend. I want to get all assignments out next week to give you time to meet your commitments.

3. Please realize if you are from a smaller country and refuse to ship out of your country you may not be able to participate. In that vein, if anyone from Japan or Thailand is open to participate please sign up!
I sent you a new message, and raised my number of times to participate. I hope that helps with your Japan challenges.

Dear Santas,

Just wanted to let everyone know I have gotten out 151 assignments. Hopefully you all received yours.... i still have a few to send. I had two last second additions I am trying to make work.

If someone received a non-US assignment and would be open to possibly switching for another non-US assignment... please message me immediately!

Also, I have already been informed that one person has already ordered and sent their gift!

Happy shopping!

I want to thank the four of you who responded so quickly.... the issue was taken care of quickly.... challenge was to find someone who had not already been assigned someone else.... domino effect!

This gets complicated at times; thank you all for helping me resolve it so quickly.

Likewise, I haven't started shopping yet if you need another USA based switch.

I can switch as I still have some left for shopping as well.

Also, if you need extra participants, let me know.

Thanks to those who volunteered. Mini-crisis resolved.

If anyone should want additional assignment, let me know... no promises. I do have one person who signed up today. But their restrictions might make it difficult to do an assignment. Santa complications!

Normally I try to get my gifts out the door early but looks like I'm the #1 recipient this year! Thank you to my first santa who sent me some lovely-looking tea and a nice little twisting ball to brew the tea!
