Subject: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Aug 08 - 10:42 AM I know it's early, but I'll be away again in a couple of days. It's that time again - Towersey Festival is over and autumn is in the hedgerows... so let's start thinking about Secret Santa! Same rules apply - PM me with your real name, a valid postal address and any requests with regard to wanting a 'home' Santee, or an overseas Santee, or if you're not fussed. At the end of September I'll do the draw and send you a PM with the address of your Santee. Gifts can be whatever you please, we try to stick to US$20/£15 average. You can make your gift, or buy something, try to include something from your country of origin. You can reveal yourself immediately in your gift or you can keep it a secret until next year... that's half the fun! I look forward to your PMs!

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: katlaughing Date: 26 Aug 08 - 02:01 PM I am not in, this year, but I would like to reiterate, please, please DO play if you sign up to...I know we've said it before, but I think it needs repeating. Too many folks get left without presents (until rescue santas step in) and/or no response from their Santee. Takes all the fun out of it. So, be good and play!:-) |

And ... let me reiterate what Kat said: the fun is in the taking part. Play the game. Put up hints. Prod your Santee. Poke your Santa. SEND YOUR GIFTS! And it's kinda nice if you say thanx too. I was blessed with a Rescue Santa this year - for whatever reason - and I shall be forever grateful (and warm, in my lovely shawl!). I shall do my very best for my Santee and look forward to making your acquaintance! sian |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Aug 08 - 06:00 PM Kat, you're missing a GREAT de-cluttering opportunity! Maybe you should rethink the decision to opt out. Every little bit counts! Liz, count me in! Here is last year's hint list. We'll need a new one soon. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 27 Aug 08 - 07:02 AM Why is it necessary to post, just to say you're not taking part. Is it some bizarre form of masochism or what? JM |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Aug 08 - 08:22 AM It might be as a reminder to this year's participants that it is quite disappointing to do your part and not receive a gift in your own right. We've had a few say they'll play then not send anything, a sure way to convince a few they maybe don't want to try it again. It's a small thing that can go a long way, sending a few trinkets to make a fellow Mudcatter feel good, but it comes across as a big negative when nothing is received and no communication is offered by the errant Santa. So if you're IN, you're really in, shop or make it early and get it in the mail. Especially if you're trying to ship from overseas. I don't think there was ever a resolution of last year's Santas, was there? Who sent to whom? SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 27 Aug 08 - 08:36 AM Me, me (even though I never did find out who mine was last year...) |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: katlaughing Date: 27 Aug 08 - 10:44 AM That's part of the reason, SRS, but also to say if you are a Santee, an acknowledgement goes a long way, too. I don't think any of us do it specifically for that and we don't expect any one to fall down on their knees in thanks, but to hear nothing when a package has been sent with each gift picked with such care, it is really disappointing to hear nothing from one's Santee. So, there ya go, MacKenzie...posting we're not playing, as a reminder to folks to really mean it if they say they are going to play. Have fun, folks!:-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Nancy King Date: 27 Aug 08 - 11:00 AM Good grief, is it that time ALREADY??!! OK, count me in. PM on the way. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Zen Date: 27 Aug 08 - 11:01 AM but to hear nothing when a package has been sent with each gift picked with such care, it is really disappointing to hear nothing from one's Santee. Quite! Which is what happended to me (under my previous nom-du-chat) last time I participated after having gone to quite some trouble to take account of my Santee's tips and hints. That time too I got a rather sharp and curt PM from my Santa because I hadn't already thanked him/her by Boxing Day afternoon (I keep my presents (if any) till Christmas Day to open! Nevertheless, I've decided to opt back in this year and look forward to a more positive experience as per previous years. Zen |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 27 Aug 08 - 11:02 AM So it's not to say, 'I'm not in so you won't be lucky/unlucky enough to get me as a Santa/Santee', then? JM [That's by way of joke, for those who might be tempted to take offence.] |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: JennyO Date: 27 Aug 08 - 12:06 PM I'm in. Won't be able to do much till my trip is over, in the second week of October, but there'll still be plenty of time. Now THERE'S a hint for my potential Santee - if you don't hear anything from your Santa for the first few weeks, maybe it's me! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 02 Sep 08 - 07:19 PM "You can reveal yourself immediately in your gift " Sadly, since 911, Australia Post demand identification and a real name on the outside of the package now when you post a parcel to the USA or UK (well, everywhere, actually!). Which may not help much unless you already have a connection between real name and Mudcat handles. |

PM me your postal name and address - make sure it's a valid address as we've had some packages going astray. If you're going to move house between now and December 24th, let me know so I can pass your details on to your Santa! Put some hints into the Secret Santa Hints thread and play the game! I am in charge, but I am not - repeat NOT responsible. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 16 Sep 08 - 07:28 PM Not this year. Money is tight and I have made it clear that only the family babies are getting gifts this year.The rest will see "Thank Yous" from a local charity. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Sep 08 - 10:31 PM Sins, I have such a vast array of great things to consider for the gift because of my de-cluttering that the main expense will be postage. Surely you have a spare pink flamingo around somewhere that you can send? If you mail it early enough the postage is a pittance. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Sep 08 - 07:21 PM As every day passes I am more and more ready to shift my attention to this game of sending an anonymous gift and contemplating teasing and cajoling my Santee to guess who I am or what I might be sending. It's such a nice change from the politics and economics and war of the day. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Tig Date: 18 Sep 08 - 07:03 PM Postage can end up more than you expect SRS. I know that because of the large and varied places Badger sends ebay stuff to! I know how Sins is feeling. I was in that position last year so couldn't play. That's why I'm pleased to be back this year. Hugs |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Sep 08 - 09:24 PM I send eBay stuff to those same places, Tig. Amazing how much some people will pay for some things. An antique music box to Australia from Texas--the shipping cost as much as the box (about $100 each). But it was a beautiful box and I'm sure that once it is restored (probably a minor operation) then it will bring thousands. So it was worth the $100 to get it. Since I wasn't willing to pay a couple hundred to restore it to get a couple of thousand, it worked out for both of us. I intend to keep my shipping costs within reason this holiday season. The earlier you ship, and if you pack it well, it will get there safe and sound and inexpensively. SRS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: JennieG Date: 19 Sep 08 - 03:02 AM And of course Oz is such a long way from anywhere that we have to take postage costs into consideration! But I have budgeted for postage. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 19 Sep 08 - 04:15 AM I found that posting an A4 envelope overseas - ie. booklets & other flat stuff - was cheaper & easier than sending 3-dimensional stuff, cos parcel rates are calculated using some esoteric formula depending on the length, width, depth, weight or whatever else the person behind the counter decides. Also envelopes don't need a customs declaration, so contents can be kept secret! So far the stuff I have collected for potential Santees is meant to fit into envelopes, but it just depends on my santee's list what I end up sending. All previous Santees have ended up with something in a parcel of some kind. sandra |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2008 From: GUEST,SECSY Date: 19 Sep 08 - 07:36 AM As a non participant, I'm happy to forward a certain number of gifts on from secret locations. In previous years, if an organised Santa in the US got a Santee in the UK, then parcels were handed over that the Getaway to willing mules.. sorry, couriers, and they handed them over to me to forward on. It works quite well and up to postage of £5 I'm happy to participate. SECSY LTS |
