Secret Santa 2020

[bigballofyarn]

I understand that many people are having second thoughts because they can't go shopping and/or because online stores aren't shipping out non-essential purchases.

This thread is just to gauge how many people are interested. You have until November 8th to decide. You do not have to send me your information until we decide whether or not an exchange will occur this year.

-If you don't celebrate Christmas, you are still welcome to participate.

-You will NOT be required to ship to another country unless you are okay with that.

-Gifts should be at least $30. This does NOT include the cost of shipping. If you would prefer a smaller/cheaper exchange of $5-$10, voice that in your reply.

-You would be sending me your name and address, which would then be sent to your Santa. You do not have to include your full name. You can use your forum name.

-You would also be sending me a list of likes and a wish list for gifts that will be sent to your Santa to make his/her life easier.

-The person to whom you send gifts will not be the same person who sends you gifts. If only the same people participate, you may end up with the same elf or Santa as a previous year. If that bothers you, take it into consideration when deciding whether or not to participate.

-If this thread does not generate enough interest, the exchange may not occur.

We were just talking about this. I still haven't received online items I ordered in June/July. I normally hit the mall for gifts for forum members, BUT.. I'm not sure about that either. Some stores ARE open, but some are NOT. Further, with all the junk happening with the USPS, I don't think I want to deal with packages this year. Sorry to be negative. For now, I'm out this year.

[Balto Bob]

I'm still so undecided.Normally, I'd want in because I couldn't before. But with everything happening and packages not being delivered, I don't know if I want the risk or the pressure. I'll think about it.

[xElle]

I ALWAYS wanted to join this!! ALWAYS!! And now, stores are closed, the USPS is going under, Amazon won't send my order from July, etc.... I'll keep this in mind.

[Andrew]

Put me on the maybe list for now. We'll see where things are in a month.

[xea989]

Not sure if Audacity and I can do a match this year. Local and international orders aren't moving.

[Audacity]

Interested, but let's wait and see.

[Apricky]

I'm interested, but I'll wait to see how things go with shopping and shipping before I give you a final answer.

[miqrogroove]

Strong YES 🎅

[boots]

I'm in if Potter is in.

[Ryanizme]

I'm not sure what my future holds and how my finances will be. I want to be a part though. So yes until further notice.

Do I sense a forum crush?

[Perfectly Imperfect]

I won't have the money for the $30+shipping. But I'll see.

[Potter]

Its a little far to tell, but now i am in the middle. If we ever get a second stimulus check then yeah def. Now its a maybe.

[Pickles]

I'm still new. Thinking I might observe and build more friendships within the community first.
