    An alternative if newbs really want to participate that I thought of is sending their gift to whomever is running it very early (say before the end of November, before santas are even picked out) so that their recipient is picked out and the person running it can take care of all the shipping, so there's no worry of it being sent late. It does involve extra cost of shipping and put some extra stress on the person running it, though... Not sure if its worth it, but its a thought.

    I'll run it - if that's alright with everyone. I'll review everything to get an idea of timelines, etc. If no one opposes my doing this, I'll get the rules up in an '08 thread pretty soon - looks like in previous years this was kicked off around the 1st week of November. If there is an issue, lmk pretty quick.

    Nice of you to step up bro!! I think first week of Nov gives plenty of time to get the packages delivered by X-mas.

    Thanks for taking the lead on this Ted! Let me know if you need any help. I'll reset the SS password once we get ready to go.

    Did any of the newbies outright fail to send their end or were some just late?

    That's right, both ultimately fulfilled their end, but were extremely late. One of them just disappeared and never came back. The other, well, what happened there was different.

    I dig getting the newb's involved in board activities.....but, I think this post says it pretty well in reference to SS:
