What happens next: we wait till someone (Helen or whoever decides to be the coordinator) tells us to send Private Messages to him or her, giving our mailing addresses and whatever other info the coordinator may request, such as an email address or phone number for the coordinator's use only. This is the time to request the location of your Santee if you have a preference. Whether you can ask to have a particular person for your Santee is up to the coordinator, I'd imagine. Personally, I'd rather be surprised by the coordinator's choice.

Then the coordinator picks the Santee for each Secret Santa, and sends a Private Message to each Secret Santa with his/her Santee's address and the deadline by which packages must be mailed to the Santee's country in order to arrive by Christmas.

And then the hinting begins!
