Do I send my list today or when the join up deadline ends?

I know last year we had an interest thread then a separate thread was created for the actual secret Santa. I guess the name of this thread should probably be changed since it's technically not an interest thread anymore.

Either way, get pumpedddd  :D

I think this thread's name should be changed since it's already got some fun posts.

I should have mine sent in within a few hours.

I'll also add my own two cents to this, after reading through the thread.

I've done a few SS events elsewhere before, and just want to mention a couple things. One - I think a good wishlist should be comprised only of items that you would be stoked to find under your tree on Xmas day. I think most people probably realize this, but you probably shouldn't put anything on there that is merely just padding a collection, or something you don't care a whole lot about. Granted, it needs to be reasonable and not too tough on your Santa, but don't set them up to underwhelm you with what you might consider to be just a so-so surprise. Two - While I agree to the spending guideline and I think it's a good way to discourage effortless or thoughtless gifts, let's not forget that SS isn't about money, but rather about spreading holiday cheer. I would hope that nobody is counting dollars and change on Xmas day, and that we can trust that good effort was put into each gift, and that everyone should be delighted with what their Santa brought them, given the wishlist they have turned in.

Good thoughts, warmsignal :) I'm always pleased with how lovely the gifts often turn out and all the thought behind the gifts! Last year, we had a number of handmade items included with games, and it's a great reminder of the lovely friendships that have blossomed through this site.  Looking forward to gathering things together for my SS recipient and Christmas morning already :D

Wishlist send in will close on Friday night. If you do not have a wishlist sent into me by then, I will most likely remove you from this. 7 people still awaiting!
