But, December 15? Things should be in the mail by then, not waiting till then to draw names. It'll be a secret New Year's Eve present.
Sounds fun!

Tick: I'm sure millions of viewers out there are just wondering what it's like to wear the tights of justice. Well, it's tingly and it's uncomfortable, but it gets the job done and, oh, the job of it.
I'd love to do it!
hop, hop, hop...
Yay! I was getting ready to ask about this. I has a lot of fun with it last year!

~How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were supposed to be?~
Can someone post how this one has worked in the past?
Thanks!
You sign up on a website called Elfster.com. When the appointed day arrives, the website matches you with your giftee. It's not a swap, A gifts B, B gifts C.
Then you buy stuff from their wish list and send it to the address they listed. In the past, if you didn't want your address listed, you could give it to the host (Cat in this case) and she would pass it on privately.
It works well, except if there is a deadbeat who doesn't play. Someone gets stiffed, or someone else steps in and sends something to their giftee. I think they were keeping names and not letting deadbeats register the next year.
It's fun!
Dec 15th was chosen to ensure that everyone had a chance to pass the message and participate. I took this over for Scott at spur of the moment and realize that the message will take longer to spread because the BF is now spread out amongst many platforms. Considering only 12 people have signed up I'm really glad I didnt make the drawing sooner.
Thanks for doing this!!!
Come on everyone! Its been fun in years past.
I love getting a little gift in the mail, even if its past the holiday!
bump?
at least i think i did.
