Hiya folks,
I am trying to get this started a little earlier this year, so my apologies for running an xmas thread prior to even having tryptophan euphoria.
Actually, since Thanksgiving is a bit on the late side of November this year, it looks like I am right on my same tardy schedule. 
Anyway - Once again I am coordinating a name swap for folks who want to give gifts to fellow squisheads as a Secret Santa (or Chanuka Henry or Solstice Sam or whatever the case may be.)
Anyone who wishes to participate needs to send an EMAIL to [email protected] by THIS MONDAY - Dec 1. (please don't use the pm system here, as I want to keep track of this over several weeks and I flush out my pm box quite often.) I am going to close this up on Monday and email the participants with their recipient on Tuesday, so get your names and wish lists in now.
I will need:
- your Mego Museum handle and your name that the local postal authorities will deliver to.
- your postal address. (this will only go out to the person who draws your name for SS)
- a wish list; but remember - not everyone is loaded with extra Zorros and Great White Sharks, and what you receive may be nowhere near what you put on your list. It is nice to dream, tho.
I will mix the names up and pull from a hat to draw for who gets who. I will email everyone back on Tuesday the 2nd with their info for their SS recipient.
Remember, this is a secret, so don't go blabbing or you may find lumps of coal in your pm box
Please wrap gifts and try to be polite about it; the person you are giving to may want to stick it under their tree where their kids can see it.
According to the USPS website, gifts should hit the post office by the 15th of December so that they get there before the needles start falling off of the tree. (if you are a true procrastinator, priority says it will get there if posted by the 20th) For the folks who are shipping cross-pond - well, sometimes this works out as a jolly new year instead.
Please let me know when you have POSTED or RECEIVED a present. It is also nice to post a pic or a thanks or something in this thread indicating your gift survived the postal crush.
I will send out a reminder as we get close to December 15th, but really - this is a fun thing and I am a volunteer coordinator, not a watch dog. So if you can't get to the post office with a gift in the next three weeks.....
Feel free to use this thread to post up picks of your gifts and many back-slappings and guffaws can be had then.
Please use your best judgement on value. Most off the shelf remegos are around the $20 mark, so that is probably a good place to be. There is no limit, tho, if you are feeling generous.
If you can please post pictures of stuff you got.
and above all else
have a GOOD time
-rche
and one more time for good measure - send your info to my email addy rather than a pm here. [email protected]
