Hello Santa,
Sorry this is late, hope it may be some use.

1. What is your age range? 58 but growing old disgracefully

2. Gender? As far as I know Female - and always have been

3. Do you have a favorite color? Rich blues, autumn colours, deep purples, black - no wishy washy colours or pinks please

4. Favorite authors/type of book? I love old recipe books and herbals but don't really have favourite authors.

5. What books have you really been wanting? None special at the moment

6. What type of music do you like? I've a fairly eclectic taste in music although I'm not keen on Rap

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? None

8. What movies have you been wanting? (specify VHS if you don't have a DVD player) Errrrm - how do you make them picture things work?

9. What is your t-shirt size? XL - to my shame. Love 'picture' and black ones.

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? Dragons, crystals, old jewellery to 'recycle'

11. What are some of your other hobbies? I do aromatherapy for people. I'm now making some jewellery - especially fun earrings using semiprecious chips and old beads. However I also love getting earrings of any kind

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Silver any day

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like. I am a witch so interesting pebbles, bits of wood or 'pagan'/green man things are great. I'm also interested in medieval and early social history.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. I am diabetic so sweet stuff isn't really a good idea(even though I'm not good!)

I like surprises so anything you feel I would like would be brilliant.

Hope Mrs Claus and the Elves are behaving and that all the Girlies in the stable are ready for the run. (They must all be female cos the males have lost their antlers by Christmas)

Lots of love and hugs
Tig xxx

1. What is your age range? I'm 25 (26 on January 5).

2. Gender? Last time I checked, I was a girl.

3. Do you have a favorite color? Midnight blue, black and silver.

4. Favorite authors/type of book? I love autobiographies, especially ones by actors. I also enjoy reading plays.

5. What books have you really been wanting? The latest Torchwood books, or classic series Doctor Who books. I have all the ones from the new series.

6. What type of music do you like? Rock, metal, pop, soundtracks... that sort of stuff. I'm a big Proclaimers fan but only have their greatest hits.

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? Doctor Who and Torchwood audios. I've got Pest Control, The Resurrection Casket and Lost Souls. Anything read by David Tennant. Music-wise, there isn't anything that springs to mind.

8. What movies have you been wanting? (specify VHS if you don't have a DVD player) Classic series Doctor Who. I'm trying to boost my collection. I don't have any Hartnell or Troughton ones, so those would be good.

9. What is your t-shirt size? Medium (size 12).

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? Things with butterflies on, Doctor Who things, Torchwood things, anything David Tennant-y, coins.

11. What are some of your other hobbies? Writing quizzes, doing quizzes, reading, acting, learning languages (currently learning Welsh).

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Silver. I don't wear gold.

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like. I'm currently in my first year of a Psychology degree at Bangor University, North Wales.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. I'm a teetotal vegetarian, with an allergy to nickel silver.

I was trying to find this thread -- nothing under "secret santa", nothing under "secret", finally tried "hints"! Did find last year's hints thread and found that we were about the last to post there... lordy, at least we're consistent!!

So so sorry for being so so slow..........

It's because we've been working so hard on
all of our chores...we've been real good
and not naughty....so coal goes to heating
us and not under the tree...or in stockings!

Astro and Desert Dancer are reallll goooodddd.... even if we're reeal slooooowwww.

1. What is your age range? 48 to 57

2. Gender? both

3. Do you have a favorite color? not puce;

4. Favorite authors/type of book? for SS purposes, regional tidbits would be fun

5. What books have you really been wanting? Don't really need more books, but your local folklore or personal writings might be of interest

6. What type of music do you like? our tastes are quite wide-ranging; again local color or or your own stuff is of interest

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? (see above)

8. What movies have you been wanting? (specify VHS if you don't have a DVD player) Any folk concerts or stuff like that

9. What is your t-shirt size? S & M (that's shirt sizes, really!!!) or M & M (and that's not candy...)

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? Xmas ornaments of regional or annual interest

11. What are some of your other hobbies? we play mandolin, banjo, concertina and sing traddie stuff, enjoy contra & English country dance, waltzing and swing dancing (of a free-form variety)

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? platinum for astro... (either, really; Desert Dancer is a pierced earring wearer and astro gets to look at them ;-) )

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like

Local or personal specialties and/or folkish stuff is fun, but not food-type stuff please.

FYI, we are USAians, living dually in L.A. and Tucson, Arizona.
