Subject: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Pseudolus Date: 02 Sep 05 - 01:05 PM As requested, here is a new thread to get the discussions started for the 2005 Secret Santa Extravaganza! woo Hoo!!!! Post away folks! So, who's runnin this thing?? Frank |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Amos Date: 02 Sep 05 - 01:33 PM Geeze, Frank, it ain't even Getaway yet!!! You mean there's gonna be a Christmas?? Sheeshe. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: John MacKenzie Date: 02 Sep 05 - 02:32 PM 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. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: karen k Date: 02 Sep 05 - 04:21 PM Giok, How about Sept. so it won't interfere with the Getaway. I would love to come. Will talk to you at the Getaway. Wonderful idea. karen |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Pseudolus Date: 02 Sep 05 - 04:26 PM 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! Frank |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: John MacKenzie Date: 02 Sep 05 - 04:39 PM 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. G.. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 02 Sep 05 - 04:57 PM I'd be happy to do this and was planning on setting it up this weekend, so...... If you want in, PM me your postal details, if you do not want an overseas and I'll do the usual. SECSY LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Sep 05 - 05:58 PM 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!) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 03 Sep 05 - 01:05 AM I wanna play again - got good stuff last year - heaps of fun both opening it and also deciding what to send too. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 03 Sep 05 - 01:09 AM Suggest we start a seperate 'SS Wish List' Thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 03 Sep 05 - 01:18 AM yes please! I do love Mudcat secret santa stuff, it's such fun many thankyous to SECSY LTS, you are wonderful for taking on the job again. PM will wend offwards as soon as I submit this sandra ps. embroidery & craft shops start displaying christmas & holiday patterns in June. And I've been kniting chrissy decorations for a few weeks now, not that I've got very far, but I do have time (I hope) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 03 Sep 05 - 01:38 AM 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. Stephen Lee |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: John MacKenzie Date: 03 Sep 05 - 04:23 AM Count me in too Liz. I wasn't trying to steal your SECSY job BTW, just covering the bases in case you neede a break. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: MBSLynne Date: 03 Sep 05 - 06:28 AM 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 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: el_punkoid_nouveau Date: 03 Sep 05 - 06:31 AM Count me in! If we start now, plenty of time to get things organised and posted to far flung parts of the planet... BTW Giok - my only concern is how are the Highlands for camping in October? Other than that, go for it! epn |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Sep 05 - 03:06 PM A warning now.. in big so you'll all get to see it..... I WILL NOT GO TRAWLING THREADS FOR PEOPLE'S DETAILS. PM ME OR YOU WON'T BE IN IT! Don't asume that I've got all your details from last time either.... I lost a lot of stuff in our computer crash last year, after I'd sent it all out. Sorry.... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Crystal Date: 03 Sep 05 - 03:35 PM Is just anyone allowed to play? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Catherine Jayne Date: 03 Sep 05 - 03:37 PM Yes Crystal, anyone is allowed to play!...nice to meet you at Towersey btw! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Crystal Date: 03 Sep 05 - 03:46 PM Kewl! It was nice to meet you too. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Sep 05 - 07:26 PM 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. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Tannywheeler Date: 03 Sep 05 - 07:50 PM Well, LTS, you saw me coming. I was just about to ask what a "Secret Santa" was and how "he" functioned--for us newbies, ya know. Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: GUEST,Pseudolus Date: 04 Sep 05 - 12:15 AM LTS, you're awesome! I'm in obviously, PM is on the way! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Sep 05 - 12:35 AM 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. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: JennyO Date: 04 Sep 05 - 11:40 AM Yep, count me in too! PM on it's way to you soon. 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! Jenny |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: SharonA Date: 04 Sep 05 - 03:07 PM 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 |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Sep 05 - 09:56 AM At times of extreme crisis and stress, pleasant diversions are not only welcome, they are necessary. Many of us will contract our lives and activities to respond to shortages, and we will also be working to contribute to or help out at agencies helping hurricane victims unknown to us. In the midst of this, selecting a small thoughtful gift to surprise a fellow Mudcatter is indeed a pleasant diversion. I will also be finding a few new toys now to have ready for the Cowboy Santa program that the City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department runs every year. I worked there for several years in the last 1990s, but I'll be back this year, because it is certain that there will be hundreds of extra children needing a little christmas. Thanks, Liz, for organizing this again. I just wanted you to know how welcome this is in the midst of everything else that is going on right now. Maggie (SRS) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 Sep 05 - 11:49 AM Bugger... didn't realise I'd have to check the list, not once, but TWICE!!! I'm reconsidering folks!!! SECSY LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: sian, west wales Date: 06 Sep 05 - 08:08 AM No! Don't do that, O Organized One! Is there such a thing as a SemiPermathread? I keep forgetting to add these threads to my tracer and get all flustered trying to keep track ... siân |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Sep 05 - 10:36 AM Bugger. I should have posted this link to the 2005 hints thread here instead of in the confusing elf-name thread that looks like it is the Secret Santa thread. I posted a link to last year's thread a couple of days ago. Take pity on your potential Secret Santa and go back and dig out your information, update it, and post it on the new hints thread so they don't have to go looking all over for it. "Last year's the same" isn't as helpful as going the extra distance (thus making sure your Santa knows exactly what you do--or don't--want.) SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Crane Driver Date: 06 Sep 05 - 04:36 PM OK SRS - done so. Not that I know exactly what I want myself - the confusion and misdirection on the threads leading up to delivery are as much fun as anything. Liz - are you Secsy or ain't you? We need to know! Andrew |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Sep 05 - 02:47 AM Well CD........ whether I'm secsy or not I shall leave up to you (although there is someone who tells me I am..... :]), but I am for my sins, Santas' Executive Compiler of Secrets for this Year 2005. The last call for Secret Santa joiners will be towards the end of September, so that I can sort the lists before Sept 30th. That way, those at the Getaway can plot, scheme, connive, finagle, devise and obfuscate to their hearts content. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Sep 05 - 03:12 AM Can I suggest through the medium of this thread that Mudcatter's put their profile on record, or update their existing one. It makes it easier and more interesting for a Santa if he/she can get data on their Santee. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: open mike Date: 07 Sep 05 - 01:02 PM ah ha! something to look forward to... I'll give it a go...pm on the way. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: open mike Date: 07 Sep 05 - 02:25 PM refresh to keep the 2 SS threads neck in neck |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: sian, west wales Date: 08 Sep 05 - 04:57 AM Another way of finding out about your Santee is to click on their blue-clicky name in a thread (as above) and read through old posts. Then you can tease and torment them with various bits of info in the hints threads ... if you're THAT kind of elf. siân |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Sep 05 - 07:53 AM Despite the fact that I have yet to find a Sweet Shop that stocks Christmas Humbugs I suppose I will be in again !! PM on the way Liz . |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: John MacKenzie Date: 08 Sep 05 - 08:07 AM Have you tried Uncle Joe's Mint Balls Terry? They're just like humbugs but nicer, and they make you go Ee bah goom, rather than Bah Humbug. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 08 Sep 05 - 08:13 AM Retail bah humbug time is really here - Today the local chain store was re-arranging shelving so CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!! could be purchased by eager shoppers. At least Mudcat Secret Santa merriment & frivolity can keep the grasping retailers at bay. Any other sightings of christmas retail? cynical sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: vectis Date: 08 Sep 05 - 08:19 AM PM sent I'm in again. OOOOOOHHHHH I can't wait already! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Sep 05 - 09:20 AM I bought my first Christmas items in mid June. Hobbycraft were having a clear out and I got several pretty items at half price... My Cross Stitching magazine had its first Christmas patterns in it last month and Limpit's school are already starting to arrange craft sessions for the school Christmas bazaar, despite only going back 4 days ago.

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 08 Sep 05 - 10:50 AM Christmas craft doesn't count, Liz - as we know creating takes time (especially if like me folks have a grasshopper's attention span) sandra (vaguely thinking about creating crafty chrissy pressies) |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Sep 05 - 05:53 AM Just a little reminder - If you wish to be included in this years (2005) Secret Santa run, you need to PM *ME* (Liz the Squeak) with your postal details. I promise they will only be passed on to your Secret Santa. I mention this because there are people posting in the Hints thread who have not sent me their details.... someone could be getting all excited and not actually be in the game. You have until Sept 25th to pass me your details... On 1st Oct you should recieve your Santee's details. If you are not in my PMs by then, you won't be included. I will NOT be trawling round threads to pick up stragglers again. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Sep 05 - 10:45 AM Retail establishments always get way ahead of us with their advertising and displays. Back in the early 1990s I used to enjoy taking my small daughter to the local expensive department store right after Labor Day. They had a very small room set up with exquisite ornaments. I asked about that, why so early, and was told that a lot of the people who bought stuff this early were mailing, and others were professional designers who where planning their annual displays. By now, with everything on the Internet, I'm sure that has changed, but out of curiosity I think I'll head over and see if they have anything set up in anticipation of the season. Holiday decorating is going to be a challenge this year--we now have a dog. A great big puppy who chews everything. When I was a kid we had a German Shorthair Pointer who used to eat the bottom ornaments off of the tree (so we made sure they were all plastic, not glass). In this house we make sure they're plastic so the cats don't swat them off and break them. Something tells me this year we'd do well to suspend the tree from the ceiling. :) Looking forward to exploring these possibilities in the Mudcat Tavern later in the year. Meanwhile, here are a couple of other Secret Santa threads to check out: As soon as people receive the name of the party to whom they will send a gift (hereafter called "Santee") and have their gifts selected and in the mail, the temptation to tease that party with hints is overwhelming. So a thread like SECSY Silly Secret Santa/Santee Hints (2004) comes into existence. As boxes arrived people posted to My Secret Santa present has arrived! (2004) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: artbrooks Date: 11 Sep 05 - 02:34 PM Liz, perhaps (wonderful person that you are) you could send a brief response to our PMs...on the order of "you're in", maybe...so we know you got them. The way Mudcat is sometimes, you can't be sure a sent message actually went anywhere except into the ether. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Sep 05 - 03:45 AM I will look through them when I can.... thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware that not all PMs were getting through. SRS - one year, being short of money, I got all my decorations from the hedgerows. Someone had cut down a blackthorn tree nearby so I culled some branches from there, sprayed them silver and suspended them horizontally from the ceiling. Onto these I hung silver foil strips (lamenetta) and silvered pine cones. It all looked very effective and Christmassy. Total cost to me was £2.00 for the silver spray and 45p for the reel of invisible thread. The whole effect was improved whenever the chap upstairs walked across his floor because the vibrations caused them to shimmer beautifully. A pub I know has white sprayed beech branches that they staple to the ceiling and smother in plain white little lights - stunning effect against the black ceiling beams. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Sep 05 - 05:03 AM Statistic so far..... 1 person requested to join but hasn't sent me an address yet.... 23 UKers have signed up. 24 USers have signed up. 3 Canadians and 4 Australians have signed up.

Sounds like fun! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Official 2005 Secret Santa thread From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Sep 05 - 04:13 AM Severn, it is fun.
