    How does this work? I'd like to try it out. Hopefully I could start working on rebuilding my reputation in this department. Maybe one of you guys could tell me more about it.

    I'll compose a pm and send it to hex tomorrow. We'll need a special thread with a password that only partacipants can use to post. It could be alot of fun if we do it right.

    Everyone involved sends their address to the organizer. The organizer then sends an address to each participant and you become the secret santa of that person. There is usually a set minimum like 3 or 4 sticks at $5 to $8 each. Extra items, not just sticks, are encouraged to be sent in the package and are where the real enjoyment comes from. Then, you try and guess who your secret santa is. It can be setup so either everyone reveals after it's all done, or if you don't guess right you are just SOL. All participants can access the secret santa account to taunt or ask questions of folks. The organizer doesn't participate so there is one less thing for folks to cry foul about.

    It can be a lot of fun, but you have to push someone into being the organizer since they don't get to participate and only get to deal with the headaches. So, I nominate Bill!

    For cripe's sake, Shag - I haven't even put away my Halloween decorations yet!!!

    And I must say - I was a little more than shocked when I walked into Walgreen's and CVS on the day of Halloween and they were already clearing the shelves of Halloween stuff - replacing it with Christmas stuff...

    WTF is that all about!!! I want Thanksgiving!!!

    I'd be in assuming that we have until near christmas to get it done, because I'd need to make a bit of a trip for some goodies. Only a couple hour drive but I wouldn't get around to it immediately.
