OK, so christmas is fast approaching, and I hereby propose that we repeat the "Secret santa" game. For those that don't know it, everyone who participates receives one other participant to whom they will play the part of "secret Santa", by sending them an anonymous gift. All participants get one gift this way, and the joy is spread all around the forums. Some of the gifts have ben patently awesome.

Primarily, one should give something one either makes oneself, or something which is of more symbolic than monetary value. I propose a rough spending limit of 10 £.

So, who will take part this year?

Goodie! Vote, then. I made the poll public, so we can use the poll to keep track of who's in it.

Yes! I was hoping we'd do this again. My gift last year was an awesome comic about time travel and Hitler. And some fridge magnets which I think are actually still on my fridge (this is rare, usually they get spirited away by the sock fairy).
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!!

Count me out. Count me also out for coordinating the thing, though I have a list of who got what from last year, so I can send that to this year's coordinator so no one gets a gift from the same recipient again (or for two years running).

I think that if there's one thing earlier years have taught us, it's the fact that this thing really can't start too early... :tongue:

Why?

I am not interested in who doesn't want to take part.

Uh, you're kind of missing the point. WE'RE interested in who DOES take part. If you vote "yes" (which I'm assuming you would, given that you say "Count me in"), your name would pop up in the list of who has said they want to participate. Makes it easier to keep a tally, see?

Ah, yes I had missed that it was a public poll (did not even notice that was an option).

Sorry.

I sure would like a bit of time in hand, because

<--- employed fulltime now and also at the end of the world, so probably long time postage, all on top of the making time. Though from memory last year I was able to make something I was pleased with in only a couple of days. But the more time the better I think.
