| I just wanted to throw a quick shout out to Bryan for all of his meticulous work and take over of this year's Secret Santa.
Though we have a few more weeks before the big day, from what I've seen so far, it looks like everything is coming along and I think he's done such a stand-up job with keeping everything and everyone who is participating updated on the regular -- to ensure a nice turnout so that the community is happy come that special time of year!
I also thought it was such a nice gesture to include members who slightly missed the deadline and in the end, even if there are those who receive their gifts a little late or whatever the case may be, just know that Bryan did the absolute best that not many people could pull off when asked of such a task.
I hope you all will join in on thanking Bryan.
So without further ado: Thanks trappedtexan! |

| Secret Santa organising can be a chore, but the gift exchange side of things is always a delight. This year I get just the fun side of things so thanks again Bryan  |

| SS organisation can never be understated. It's a nerve wracking chore and as an organiser you worry non-stop until the last parcel has arrived. A big thanks to Bryan for organising this - when the results are posted on Xmas day, that's when the payback comes.
Cheers
Rich! |

| Thanks guys, I do what I can for TIG. AJ dos it every year and need a break so he could just enjoy being in it and not have the fuss over running it. Mit hasn't been a bad experience anyway. Like Richard said the thing is you mostly just worry until that last package arrives.

| Kudos to anyone taking up that task. I can only imagine the networking and record keeping that's needed to do it well. AJ did brill before and nice that Bryan has stepped up to give the old fella a break. Good work Bryan

| My only issue is that Bryan didn't participate! Next year you better include yourself. Great job Bryan!

| I can certainly support the kudos given here! I've organized a SS in the past as well, and just like others have said, it can be a little stressful at times. But seeing everyone rewarded with a fun little addition to their collections is a great feeling. Thanks Bryan for helping work towards that goal for us all! |

| I believe everyone has now received their gift so Bryan you can relax now mate and look foreward to seeing all the pics on Christmas day I know Bryan could not settle until he knew everything had gone to plan and it has, what a guy  (and he's not even getting one himself, that won't happen next year, we will make sure) Just wanted to bump this because when you open your gift on Christmas Day and have a big smile on your face, that smile would not be there without Bryan's great organising Thanks again mate we all appreciate it Have a great Christmas and New year everyone |

| I heard Bryan isolated himself inside a dark chamber, planning this year's S.S. with only the company of silence.. on a bread and water diet. Pretty serious stuff!  |

There was bread?  Damn it. I began eating the little post it notes AJ told me to use. Just glad it all worked out.  I had some rather large shoes to fill and didn't want to disappoint.
