Guys I am sorry this is getting off to a late start.  I know the forum has been slow, but its still here and so is our annual tradition.

For those that don't know how the secret Santa works basically we get everyone to do a wish list confirming they are in for the exchange, the wish list is locked up after a certain time period, you are given the name of one person who is on the list to send them an anonymous gift.  The gift sending limit is around $50.  

I will make a separate wish list thread in the vintage chat section and link it in this post.  For now please sign up in this thread and begin your wish list in the other one and one of us will send you a pm to get the address information.  Please understand if you sign up, someone else will be getting you a gift so don't forget to get theirs.  Also in order to be more efficient I think we can lock the wish list thread around October 15th, and that way hopefully all presents can be bought and shipped out by November 15th.  This will allow adequate time for everyone gifts to make it around the word in time for Christmas.

Here is the wishlist thread:

***Please be vigilant that the item you buy for your fellow Tigger is not reproduction or paint touched up.  Mistakes do happen, so you wont be hung if it is, but you might get a pretty good flogging.  ***

I know some hit the wishlist thread instead of this one, The wishlist thread will be locked up eventually and this is the place to post pics after you get the items and get them opened. Please make sure you sign up in here with a simple "IN" message even. Those who hit the wishlist thread and forget this one, I will also include, but it just makes it easier for me to keep track if you can put it in here first and foremost. Thanks guys.

Between the two threads I think we have about 4-5 in so far.

The more the merrier.

Count me in pls

In as always

Life has kept me off the forums but I had fun with this last year and wouldn't want to miss it, so I'm in.

I forgot... The ubiquitous Santa pic!

oops me too

Bumping this. Sign up to be included. Bit over a week left to get signed up.

Count me in.

feels like we're missing someone? ..... someone?!

Bump this, guys dont forget to fill out the wish list thread once you sign up here.

Don't forget we are doing this. Fill out your wishlist please. I have 8 participants confirmed so far but we still have time so get in while you can.




Of course I am including some eye candy to try to get people to join up.

Now I have a machine gun...... HO HO HO

I'm in

Guys, get the wish list in if you haven't yet. Going to be sorting who gets who tonight or tomorrow so we can get to shopping. If you want in, now or never.

Everyone should have the name of their child in a pm. I notice a few guys haven't opened PM's I sent a few days ago, if your inbox is full you won't get the new pm I think. If we are having an issue with the pm stuff let me know asap. I need to confirm you have recieved your childs name so we can get this rolling. Thanks guys.

Also still need bill and Andrew to make wish list.

Everyone involved should have received their "childs" address today. If you haven't got it please pm me so I can find out where I messed up.

Hope everyone is having fun shopping. If not then your not doing it right.

I think the elves are all finished for me. Just awaiting the Wrapping Dept

Less than two weeks shopping time so we can have these mailed out by mid November. As you get them mailed out please let me know. Thanks guys.

A couple of Santa's have been to the post office. As you mail them out please inform me. If you haven't mailed yet, the goal was to get them out by the 15th so hopefully you can do it in the time left. Please, please, please make sure your recipient will receive their gift before Christmas. That is the ultimate goal.

As I am on my phone lately, feel free to insert some half naked ladies wearing elf and Santa outfits on my behalf. (And a naked ewok for aj I guess).

A few days left. Some have notified me that Santa has been to the post office but still quite a few who need to get stuff mailed out. Please make sure your recipient can get the gift in time. Let me know when you get them shipped out. Thanks guys.

Still need shipping confirmation from a lot. I will be sending out a pm reminder in the next day or two.
