The Yak Shack Forum

Is there going to be one this year? Only 80 days to go  :o

not sure but i will be in if there is

If people are interested, someone has to volunteer to organize it. :)

Organising? FTY the OCD organiser to the rescue!!

I will assume that everyone is happy to send/receive presents to/from overseas. If you do NOT want to do this, please let me know in your PM.

If you are interested in participating this year, please PM these details to me by Monday 13th October:

• Full name
• Postal address
• Interests - this will help your SS decide what to get you, but be realistic, writing "Tiffany diamonds" is unlikely to be helpful (if anyone can organise these, you can be my SS :rofl:

FAQs
How much do I have to spend?
However much you wish, but keep in mind that postage overseas can be very expensive.

What if I don't receive my present?
Unfortunately, this is out of our hands - the Xmas post can be very fickle and we have had cases where this has occurred. Please keep this in mind if you sign up to participate

How will I know if my SS receives my present?
We encourage everyone to post in this thread when they receive their gift so that their SS knows it has arrived safely

If you have any other general questions, please post here so everyone can benefit from the answer :)

Think I'll give it a miss this year.

Me too.  Sharon needs a new Santa this time and she would probably end up with me for the 3rd year if I participated.  ;D

I'm in.  No way would I miss Secret Santa!

As I started this thread, I better take part as well  ;D Please don't pair me with Sharon. She's hard enough to buy for at the best of times  :rofl:

Come on guys - I've only had about 4 people join :) It's a lot of fun!

Last call for Secret Santa - I'll be allocating people tomorrow :)

Just saw whome I've been selected to be the Santa to. I'm now working on turning base metal to gold - it'll be an easier task  :rofl:

Sorry Graham - it was random allocation ;)

Could have been worse - could have made you my Santa :rofl:

Ooh, I didn't realise that you had Queen Elizabeth in this years' Shack Secret Santa Jo...

oops. is it a little bit late if i want to join in now?  ;)

has anyone received there secret santa presents yet

Thank you to my Secret Santa. I got home from work today and there it was waiting for me, all I have to do now is wait for Christmas to open it. :)

Hasn't anyone else received their Secret Santa yet? I do hope mine made it to its recipient ok. Still afew days to go before Christmas but I sent mine off at the beginning of November.

Thank you Secret Santa for my wonderful present of X-Files I want To Believe cards - the perfect gift. What did everyone else get?

As I was in 2 forums for Secret Santa, I don't know if I've received from here as I've only had one prezzie.
I have pm'd the person I was sending to. There has been a problem with what I was getting him and it could well end up being a Secret Easter Bunny gift instead  :( It is beyond my control but I am chasing.

Nice chase Boggy - anyone else got their lovely prezzies & want to talk about them? Or were you sent such shocking and outrageous things you want to keep it private? ;)

Thank you to my secret santa for the autograph pic of Hagrid it is fantastic . Hubby got it and hide it until xmas day.
So thank you i love it xxxx

We also got another surprise our normally tubby cat had four kittens just 2 days before xmas .

WOW!!! The lesser spotted Roz has surfaced. Happy New Year to you and Mark.

Why thank you! How did you know I spent last night watching David Attenborough's Planet Earth...? :D?

Time to resurrect this topic...

Now Bogleg, I can't imagine I'm that hard to find something for.

Graham had contacted me last year because he was having trouble getting the prezzie he had picked out.  First we thought possibly a Secret Easter Bunny, but it turns out it was pretty close to Secret Santa, just 2009 not 2008.  Now, I really feel for him because I know it wasn't his fault.  Artists are some of the hardest people to work with and Graham had decided to commission a piece of art for me.

Today I received a very nice piece, a drawing of Linsner's Dawn character done by the always great, but likely late, Jim Kyle.

I just wanted to take this time to thank Graham for following through and not giving up.  Your not-so-secret Santa gift will find a place of honor in the card room!
