Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Catherine Jayne Date: 01 Oct 07 - 04:31 AM Wonderful Liz! Looking forward to it all....and thank you for all your hard work! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Oct 07 - 04:19 AM Right, that's it... I'm not accepting anymore PMs (unless they come with reality chocolate - no more of this virtual stuff, it's not as satisfying although it doesn't leave brown stains on the sheets), the Secret Santa is CLOSED. In the next few days, you'll get a PM with the name, address and secret identity of your Santa. Share with no-one except your immediate family (unless, by some fluke, you've been allocated your immediate family... don't laugh, it happened once!), and don't even share with them if they can't keep it buttoned! Post lots of hints in the threads and enjoy the silliness that starts around October 5th... SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Dave'sWife Date: 26 Sep 07 - 02:00 PM I am just dying to get my Santee's address. I want to get started early this year. I have a small stack of pressies all ready to go. Just to confuse matters, I've decided to ...oh nevermind..if I say what I'm planning to do then it won't be a secret now will it? I'd better learn to start logging in and out per Santa tradition! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 25 Sep 07 - 12:10 PM but I've never heard of Christmas in August. You should have! It's a very August occasion. . . |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Sep 07 - 07:58 AM Usually in the UK, you get cheap 'out of season' Christmas break for old folks homes and institutions in March, when the hotel would otherwise be empty. Here on Mudcat, it starts in September! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 24 Sep 07 - 08:25 PM here in Oz some clever folks invented Christmas in July so folks could have traditional Northern Hemisphere feasts & an approximation of the weather. Some equally clever hoteliers invented Christmas in July meal & accommodation packages, too! Ho Ho Ho but I've never heard of Christmas in August. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: GUEST,SECSY LTS pretending to work Date: 24 Sep 07 - 08:27 AM Those are the 'Stealth Pressies' - the ones that arrive when you least expect them.. usually around August. SECSY LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 24 Sep 07 - 02:44 AM last year some folks didn't even get a pressie. Their Santas were more than covert - they were Missing In (in)Action!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Megan L Date: 23 Sep 07 - 12:38 PM "SSC that are not posting their ID to this Thread are attempting to keep the secret of their ID for as long as covertly possible." Heck mine managed tae keep his (finally after many months revealed as Her) identity secret for months even whn posting on a regular basis :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: GUEST,A Secret Santa Candidate Date: 23 Sep 07 - 12:22 PM Hold the Bus. There is no mention of Covert Santa's not being right up front of the line of grateful Santees, happy as Lark with what ever there Santa sends them. In the case of this Agent anyway that is most definetly the case. SSC that are not posting their ID to this Thread are attempting to keep the secret of their ID for as long as covertly possible. When the time comes for Secret Santa Candidate to switch from Giver to Receiver I am positive that they will be very grateful and down right vocal about their gift and for the thought behind the present their own Secret Santa Candidate bestows apon them. Over and but never out. Blonde. Jane Blonde 006 and three quarters. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: CapriUni Date: 23 Sep 07 - 04:16 AM I have no truck with this 'it's better to give than to receive' mularkey. Absolutely correct, LTS. You can't have one without the other. Receiving graciously is just as good, and often requires a healthy dose of humility. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Sep 07 - 11:55 AM If Giving was better than Receiving, all Santas would be given my address with instructions to send chocolate and feel good as I have no truck with this 'it's better to give than to receive' mularkey. Covert usually means they'll be doing it in cognito - wherever that may be. SECSY LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 22 Sep 07 - 11:15 AM so, getting this sorted out in my mind, the covert Secret Santas will not be santees? Does this mean ya don't wanna get pressies??!!! is this the real spirit of christmas, that it is better to receive than give? Is this serious getting of brownie points here. hmmmm |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Severn Date: 22 Sep 07 - 09:27 AM Maybe "Sneak-ret McSanta"? The "Mc" coming from Clan McDestine, a bunch of sly Scots who think they have it all covert. Friends of yours, Megan? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Megan L Date: 22 Sep 07 - 04:09 AM We are going to have to change the name from Secret Santa to Sneaky Santa |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Sep 07 - 03:54 AM So Meesterrr Bonnnnnd... you expekt there to be only 43 Sannnntaaahs thees yeeerrrr.... Sorry, can't keep up the Goldfinger accent.... So far we have over 60 names in the hat, only 10 or so short of last years 73 people. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Time for 2007!!! From: GUEST,A Secret Santa Candidate Date: 21 Sep 07 - 10:07 PM Sandra, some of us 'Wanna~Be Secret Santas' just PM'd Liz with our info. No Threads were posted to. Not even a clue was made in public that we wanted to take part. Sneeky stuff a foot. For some of us this Year ( what with this being the big 007 event) Secret Santa manouvers will be a totally covert operation. The presents from these particular kinds of Secret Agent Santas will suddenly appear at their top secret destinations in a stealth like manner. You may think there are only 43 Secret Santa Candidates but can you be sure Moneypenny? |
