Liz will send you a PM giving name & address of your Santee after she has shuffled the participants.

rules?

well, there is a (supposed) limit on spending - something like not too much!

Some folks send 1 pressie chosen from the list submitted by their Santee.

Some send lots of tiny things (my first Santa sent me about 8 separately wrapped pressies - oh, that was fun opening the gi-normous box full of pressies & packing material!)

Some send pressies in time, some send pressies late. My first pressie was posted in Nov & took 3 months to get to Oz, worrying me & my Santa immensely.

Some fill the Silly Hints thread 2002 BS: Mystery Santa Goofy Hints with zillions of silly hints, some just write once or twice, some don't even give their worried santee a single hint!

Hints are given by logging off & posting as santee's Secret Santa (don't forget to log off or else everyone knows who you are).

Some also send postcards, enlisting friends/family in strange countries to do so.

Some Santas get another person to post the pressie so Santee doesn't know who their Santa is until they open it, & even then some still don't know.

Some international Santas disguise the pressie contents a bit on the customs declaration - tho not so much that Customs won't allow the declaration. "Present" is probably a bit too vague, but Book, CD, ornament, etc. is ok.

Some buy pressies, others make them

So just follow the rules & have fun!
