Secret Santa 2016

It's that time of year again and time to start this thread. I know it is early but some members live in remote areas and it takes time for mail to be delivered.

OK I know it should be a BS thread but it needs to stay in the music section so that people can post anonymously.

If you would like to join in this year's jollity can you PM me with your Mudcat name, your real life name and address. If you can send me your e-mail address too it would make it easier to get in touch if there is a problem.

The teasing threads will soon follow this one.

This is a mudcat sanctioned activity that will play out in the music section ("above the line") to allow participants to post anonymously during the course of the thread. --mudelf

I've already got SS gifts...Secret Santa, that is. Himmler isn't giving things away.

I'm in, and I'm so glad things are starting a little early this year. The first weekend in October I visit a place with really neat stuff, including really good cd's.

Here are a few past threads, for some interesting, and sometimes bittersweet, reading:

2015

2014

2013

2012

2010

2003

2001!

The list of questions (that can be modified as needed):

1. What is your age range?

2. Gender?

3. Do you have a favorite color?

4. Favorite authors/type of book? Non-fiction/history/classics

5. What books have you really been wanting? Some mindless horror paperback.

6. What type of music do you like?

7. What CDs have you really been wanting?

8. What movies have you been wanting (DVD/BluRay)?

9. What is your t-shirt size?

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what?

11. What are some of your other hobbies?

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

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

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful.

Perhaps we should each read through some of the older threads and choose a former participant to send a PM solicitation to join the game. (Best to choose someone who is still active at mudcat).

It's early October, you're going to find stragglers appear for a while. But think about what I suggested - look at the older list and invite friends to participate who have done it before.

Excel! I use it at work, but only when I can't avoid it. Good for you! Do I need to send my info, or do you have it all? I'm looking forward to playing this year!

OK guys and gals,

You should all have a message with the identity and address of your santee for this Christmas. As far as the records I have got are concerned you have not got someone you have had before but the records are incomplete so I have done me best but may have stuffed up inadvertently.

So go and play good children all.

HO!HO!HO!
