You are in my "Santas awaiting info" folder. It's only a small folder but after yesterday's reminder we have a few more folks, so please, if you want to take part I think this is your last chance, it's getting closer and closer to Christmas now  |

Basically you sign up, get info about a person from anywhere on the globe and think about what to send them for Christmas In return a totally different person will be given your details (name, address, likes/dislikes) and they'll be your Santa. It goes around in a circle so everyone is Santa to someone and everyone has a Santa. |

Thanks Roz I have submited my details but would sugest that you set a reasonable limit to the spend, then everyone would be on the same wavelength say £15 UK (Just a thought) De Orc  |

Well we've done it before and no one has been dissappointed as far as I have heard. People have often had very special things, signed books by Alan Lee and custom sketch cards, and I was even knitted a custom-length scarf once... these are just some that spring to mind, so I wouldn't want to curb anyone's creativity

Hi folks! Everyone who's signed up to this should now have a PM from me with info on who they are to be santa to. If you do not have a PM PLEASE get in tough ASAP. If you do not receive a SS present, please get in touch asap, don't sit all upset at home wishing you hadn't signed up  And last but not least, I declare this year's Secret Santa Closed. It's really too close to international posting deadlines to have a third round! So thanks everyone who is taking part - please post here or PM me with any questions |

Great stuff Wendi - my poor Secret Santa won't get theirs sent for a few more days (until Monday). But hopefully it should still arrive in time |

Just a gentle reminder guys that the last posting date from Britain to "World Zone 2" (i.e. lands far far away such as Australia/NZ etc.) is the 8th, and to World Zone 1 (lands not quite so far away ) is the 11th! I expect 'foreign' post offices have similar upcoming dates, so check them out to avoid disappointment:) |
