What's the general price range we're looking at?

JPhillips · 11-26-2013, 07:32 AM

I think it's been 20 in the past.

Danny · 11-26-2013, 07:54 AM

I do a secret santa with myself every year. The gift never disappoints

We started at $20 but over the years people have gone over so the past few years I have upped the max to $35, so $35 and lower is the cost. I tend to keep mine in the $25 range....

BTW guys, for those who haven't used Elfster before, it allows you to select a wishlist that your secret santa can look at and pinpoint ideas and such.

MacroGuru · 11-26-2013, 04:25 PM

Bumpage....

MacroGuru · 11-27-2013, 11:18 AM

I know I keep bumping this, but I just want to see if we have more folks interested.

Trying to get our daytime and night time crowd involved

MacroGuru · 11-29-2013, 02:45 PM

Bump....fun tradition here, lets get a few Secret Santa Rookies this year!

MacroGuru · 12-01-2013, 07:41 PM

Bump..

any questions or issues signing up, don't hesitate to PM me.

JPhillips · 12-02-2013, 07:29 AM

I've had fun with this for years. It's a great little tradition and a way to keep this community going. If you're on the fence, you should sign up.

MrBug708 · 12-02-2013, 09:21 AM

I've done it a couple times, tho not consistent. It's a great way for a nice surprise!

CleBrownsfan · 12-03-2013, 01:25 PM

Where's the Christmas spirit around here?? Only 7 of us in our SS - we need more

MacroGuru · 12-03-2013, 01:37 PM

Absolutely we need more. We usually average double what we have signed up.

Join! We love it, it is fun...the presents received are always great and make people happy. This little community means a lot to me and has helped through a lot of tough times.

The Secret Santa is just one way I feel I can give back...'

Fuckin-A! Get in the Christmas spirit you damn bunch of Scrooges!!!

MrBug708 · 12-04-2013, 07:01 PM

Let's Go!

PurdueBrad · 12-04-2013, 07:03 PM

Hey all-

If you're on the fence about this, please sign up. I didn't sign up until the year I got really, really sick and it really helped me get through the holidays by concentrating by something else. I've done it every year since then simply because it's a lot of fun, a good way to interact with the others on the board and it is a great surprise to see what someone sends your way.

So give it a go...worst case scenario is that you get a present...oh wait, that's not a bad thing! Sign up!

PilotMan · 12-04-2013, 07:27 PM

Alright, I'll get in. For years money has kept me from really getting into this. I think I can make it work this year. I need an RSVP though. grbaviator At yahoo

MacroGuru · 12-05-2013, 08:25 AM

Alright, we have 8 signed up, would like to try and double that in the next 48 hours!

MacroGuru · 12-06-2013, 07:41 AM

Last day for signups for the Secret Santa....

MacroGuru · 12-06-2013, 04:36 PM

Just under 8 more hours to sign up for the Secret Santa, the draw happens tomorrow.

PurdueBrad · 12-06-2013, 08:01 PM

Bump guys, jump in as I can promise lots of fun and some nudity.

Okay, not really nudity but it is fun!

DaddyTorgo · 12-06-2013, 08:47 PM

Is Secret Santa dying? I feel like once upon a time we used to have a lot more people...

I'm in!

PM me your email address so I can get the invite out to you.

EagleFan · 12-06-2013, 11:52 PM

I came for the rampant fun but stayed for the nudity.

Can't do it this year; hope to be able to get back in next year.

Izulde · 12-07-2013, 01:16 AM

Seems like the number is usually around 14-16 people, and it's stayed pretty consistent to that. There was a high year of 18 or 19, but I wouldn't say it's dying out, no. Just a slow year.

MacroGuru · 12-07-2013, 08:30 AM

Alright,

The draw happened and names have been assigned on Elfster. I will change the title to reveal thread when the first gift is revealed on here.

MrBug708 · 12-07-2013, 10:39 AM

Do we prefer lists being made?

People have wish lists they can make on Elfster, if they don't the fun part is digging like we did in the past to find the likes and what they enjoy.

PurdueBrad · 12-11-2013, 05:24 PM

Gift just got sent. Happy holidays to the recipient!

JPhillips · 12-11-2013, 10:41 PM

Sent.

CleBrownsfan · 12-12-2013, 10:07 AM

Looks like I'm the first to receive a gift!

I received a The Kentucky Book and how fitting as I'm going to the Kentucky Derby this year for the first time!

I will also be adding an awesome Indians glass ornament to the tree tonight.

Thanks SS for the gifts!

Happy Holiday's all!

Jon · 12-12-2013, 11:04 AM

I received some awesome Rutgers glasses and a copy of Eric LeGrand's book.

Thanks Santa!

CleBrownsfan · 12-12-2013, 11:52 AM

Mine is sent...

MacroGuru · 12-12-2013, 04:43 PM
