Christmas is looming, anyone like to take part in an international Secret Santa?

Hi everyone.

Whilst it seems very early to be talking about Christmas, it's important to start this early - last year we had a "Secret Santa" scheme within the Yak Shack, and wrapped presents flew across the globe to sit under Christmas trees in totally different climates and time zones... I digress...

At this stage I am just asking you to email if you would like to join in - to get an idea of how popular it would be again this year.

We are starting early so that anyone who wants to send by surface mail can do so - if there is demand we may have a second wave of secret santas for late-starters in November if anyone's feeling left out

If you would like to take part then please send an email to

Santa2005@theyakshack.co.uk

Giving me

1) your full name and address,

2) your Yak Shack ID, 

3) Please state whether you are prepared to send abroad (if you only want to participate within your country then that's fine, but you must let us know),

and

4) please also give me hints about what your interests - so you could state your favourite TV series/films. This info will be passed onto your Santa but your Santa will then be given free reign to try to find a nice present for you - whether it be related to cards or your favourite shows ).

I will then assign everyone a Santa, can I request that everyone tries to wrap up the parcel in paper ready for putting under the tree to make it that little extra special?

Just trying to work out what my interests.  Oooo let me see maybe HP    Email on its way.  Thanks for organising this, it will be my first ever Secret Santa

OK, forgive my ignorance/stupidity here but what exactly is Secret Santa?  The only time I've ever heard of it is in an episode of Friends and they were trying to swap Secret Santa's for some reason.  I didn't get it then either! 

[Morningangel-Iola]

Every one gets a person to buy for only the person isn't supposed to know who bought thier present the only person to know should be the master mind behind it. ALthough it doesn't always work and someone messed it up big time where I worked last Christmas and I ended up getting the gift they got because they had lost someone ie me, so it wasn't at all personalities and where did I work a gifts department

I did it in the Second Grade, great fun

Jumping up behind the crowd who's already signed up, I finally (I'm such a procrastinator) get the Secret Santa email sent to Roz and declare that I'm in it, too! It was a great idea last year and another great idea this year

[Morningangel-Iola]

Oh what the heck....

[Roz]

OK folks, the first round of emails are out. You CAN STILL PARTICIPATE, but you need to sign up ASAP.

If you haven't had an email now telling you who to be Santa to, please contact me because I have not had your email application, but don't worry I'm not  in this yet either, I hope there will be more rounds to come!
