After Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath this week, and the repercussions that are already reverberating through the US, the lyrics of the old song are truer than ever: "We need a little Christmas now!"

Heck, by Christmas I could send $15 worth of gasoline in a thimble, and it wouldn't cost much postage at all! (...well, it all depends on the weight of the thimble...)

I haven't participated in the Mudcat Secret Santa in a year or two, but this year, count me in! It'll be a very welcome bit of fun. PM on the way.

Sharon

Good grief - it only seems like a few short months since I got my last year's pressie..........   actually it IS only a few short months for me. There was a delay, but it was worth the wait. Thanks SRS!

Here are a few threads from last year to give you an idea of what to expect. And now is a good time to become acquainted with the Logon/Logoff features in the upper right dropdown menu. You can come in and be the Secret Santa in a guest guise and toss hints in the direction of your intended.

You need to post something to this year's version of the hints thread. Secret Santa Hints 2004 is where last year people posted the particulars they wanted their potential Secret Santas to be aware of. We tend to discuss Santas (those giving) and Santees (those receiving).


This thread is called BS: SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints and was started by me last year to get the ball rolling. I came in as a guest, as did many of the others.

Anyone can play, they just meed to be willing to post a small gift to someone in a strange place. Gifts can be up to the value of about $15 or £10, or more or less, depending on your own personal circumstances. Homemade or local crafts and gifts are always welcomed.

Send me a Personal Message with your postal details on and I will match you up with someone in a far flung place. It will then be your responsibility to get something for that person and send it off. In return, your details get passed to another person who will send you a gift.

Enjoy!!

Santa's Executive Compiler of Secrets for this Year.

Yep..I'm in too! My first time last year and it was great fun.

As far as a Highland meet goes...epn and I are both all in favour of that. October is good because it's when festivals are dwindling and we have the prospect of a couple of months with nothing to go to. Can you make it lateish though so as not to clash with Banbury and the Donisthorpe Music Weekend which we are hoping to revive? Perhaps this needs it's own thread?

Love Lynne

SECSY LTS, your a peach! Thanks for doing this again. i certainly couldn't have done it. I tend to be almost as organized as a three-legged camel running backwards on a high speed treadmill and busier than a pinata full of baboons. Nonetheless, I'd love to be apart of the Secret Santa thing this year. It's always fun and surprising.

With the amount of time it takes packages to travel, getting started early is a good idea. We've seen packages take four and six weeks (and more) to travel between continents.

Isn't it nice to consider the prospect of cool weather and fall preparations for the holiday season? It's about 98 right now here in Texas. I am heartily tired of this heat. (Yeah, I know, some Mudcatters get their holiday in the smack of the hot season. That makes a white xmas a real weather challenge, though I have friends who were hiking and camping in Tasmania one year in the 1970s who were snowed on on christmas day!)

Sounds good Frank, I'm sure Liz would appreciate ahand if not a break, I haven't spoken to her about it yet though, so best to wait and see.

Regarding the timing of a Mudcat Highland Gathering, there is so much on in the UK all summer that I thought of October first as the festivals die down by then, although I too would prefer it to be September, but that's why I put it up for discussion so early.

Sorry, is this too soon? :)   It was brought up in another thread and suggested that we should start a brand spankin new one...so here it is! Does LTS want a break? If so I would consider it. It might not be too bad being in the know.

Sadly I won't be at the getaway. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get to meet some of you...in person!

If I weren't going to the Getaway I would offer to give LTS a break, but as I won't be back till the 16th November, I'm afraid I can't.
BTW next year I fancy running a Mudcat Scottish meet in the highlands, in Octoberish, any thoughts on this idea would be greatly appreciated.
