###***Secret Santa Hints and Teasing 2018***###

Subject: Secret Santa 2018
From: vectis

It's that time of year again when Early Bird Santa and the Elves are busy starting to get gifts ready for this year's lucky santees.

If you would like to join in the madness and mayhem for this years extravaganza PM me your real world name and address. An e-mail address for emergency use would be handy too.

If you are wanting to avoid international giving and taking please let me know.

The hints and teasing thread will follow as soon as I have some takers.

Max has given permission for the Secret Santa threads to run in the Music section above the line so our posts can be made anonymous when it comes to teasing recipients. Thank you for your patience!

Vectis, my address and preference information is the same, but whatever will work for you.

For those who wonder about Secret Santa, you can search and find many iterations of the event. 2017, a 2016 gifts and teasing thread, 2015 wish list, 2014 announcement, and the 2014 wish list. They are way more robust when you search further back (alas, we've lost many of our previous participants).

I know what a secret santa is at work but it's sounding like this is a whole new baileywick. How does it work..we tease each other here or are there presents involved? Maybe an explanation might help a few others to join?

Subject: RE: ###***Secret Santa Hints and Teasing 2018***###
From: Hollowfox

Here's how it goes. You get a name and address of your secret santee from Vectis. A thread for people's preferences should be up soon. You put your information on that (prefer silver to gold, allergic to llamas, what you like to read, listen to, etc.) You read your Santee's preferences. Then you can get on to Mudcat, log out and torment your santee, and log in again if you wish. Then you send out a present, and you receive a present. It takes longer to explain it than to do it.

Thank you! The teasing part is something I've never really done and since I am only a sporadic reader and poster here I guess I will pass. The teasing is sent in the form of personal messages I guess and not on the posts? Is this teasing related to guessing who you are and maybe what the gift is or is it something else?

Exactly that. You can gently wind up your santee. You can also let them know when their gift is on the way so they know roughly when to check their mailbox.

Here is the faithful list for all participants to fill in to give their Santa some ideas of your loves and hates. Just copy and paste this list and answer all or some of the questions posed.

This thread can also be used to tease your santees.

1. What is your age range?

2. Gender?

3. Do you have a favorite color?

4. Favorite authors/type of book?

5. What books have you really been wanting?

6. What type of music do you like?

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.

1. What is your age range? 69, but don't let that get in the way, e.g. I go to anime conventions as well as folk festivals. Numbers have a way of shifting, especially when you reach an age you used to think was old.

2. Gender? Female

3. Do you have a favorite color? My mother told me my taste in colors came out of a crayon box. It depends on whether I'm going to wear it or look at it.

4. Favorite authors/type of book? Folk- (lore, customs tales, music), also fantasy and science fiction, interesting history books, books by/about storytellers, singers, etc.

5. What books have you really been wanting? see #4, also, if you're in England, anything by Taffy Thomas, Duncan Williamson, Stanley Robertson.

6. What type of music do you like? AngloAmerican trad, middle eastern, contra and country dance tunes. I love the local cd's I've gotten from Secret Santas in the past

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? If Santa is in Canada, anything by Penny Lang, Wade Hemsworth, Chris Rawlings, or somebody you like. If in England, anything by Taffy Thomas, or something you like. I'm also big on spoken word, music hall, and humor recordings.

8. What movies have you been wanting (DVD/BluRay)? Remember, it must be for Area 1. Songcatcher (yes really), Story Catcher

9. What is your t-shirt size? XL

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? I more accumulate than collect. The house doesn't need anything, but if something tells you to get it to me, that's fine. I'm not big on cutesy stuff, though.

11. What are some of your other hobbies? Reading, counted cross stitch, history re-enactment (mostly for the neat classes)cooking.

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

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like. Please remember that this is a menu to choose from, not an invoice list! *Used books, cd's, dvd's are fine, even preferred.*
I am omnivorous, and I've liked every Mudcat Christmas ornament I've ever gotten.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. Please don't break your neck (as my gran would say) over this. Have fun with it.

I tried to find some suggestions for your gift, but couldn't find anything newer than 2016. Do you have any updates, or are you willing to take your chances?


04 Dec 18 - 10:32 PM (#3964814)
Subject: RE: ###***Secret Santa Hints and Teasing 2018***###
From: Stilly River Sage

With few changes from past years:

1. What is your age range? "A certain age."

2. Gender? F

3. Do you have a favorite color? Dark greens and blues.

4. Favorite authors/type of book? I already own far more books than I will ever manage to read in my lifetime

5. What books have you really been wanting? I recently discovered Rebecca Solnit's essays after reading Men Explain Things To Me. I'm planning to look for something of hers aimed at writers.

6. What type of music do you like? Ecclectic - folk, classic, blues, rock, jazz

7. What CDs have you really been wanting? Yours! The one you perform on or produced

8. What movies have you been wanting (DVD/BluRay)? I have NetFlix and a nearby well-stocked public library. I can find anything I'm looking for

9. What is your t-shirt size? Medium or Large, depending on how much shrinkage may be involved

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? I've been decluttering for years. Please, no collectibles! I am a tea drinker, but can buy most any kind of loose tea from around the world. I seem to have an interesting collection of tea balls.

11. What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening, photography, sewing, beading

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? "Tone" is the operative word - there are enough metal allergies in my world that if it isn't a good quality of real gold, or sterling silver, I can't wear it. Puts me out of the SS price range, sadly . . .

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your Secret Santa know what you would like. It's the process I enjoy - reading pages from your hometown paper used to wrap inside the parcel, a view of your world and interests. Please keep it small so it doesn't cost a lot to mail and it generally ships faster that way anyway.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. I am allergic to coconut - and in this day and age, coconut oil and other parts of the nut are in many things, such as soaps, shampoo, lotions, and foods. The chemical names don't necessarily tell you they're coconut products, but things like "sodium laurelth sulfate" (the sudsy part of soap and shampoo) comes from coconut. So personal care items or processed foods are not a good choice for me.

Curse this climate change! The snow melted up here at the North Pole and the reindeer had to swim to deliver a parcel as best they could. They tell me that they flagged down a postal delivery person and begged her to move it along to you. By new years, they predict.

What a lovely surprise from my secret santa who I think is Firecat being the only person on the list near to York. A great town where we used to regularly go to the Festival and where I was only last year doing some work in a school. Loved the quirky bag of essentials, the lucky York glass black cat, the fridge magnet and the postcards/map but the best of all has to be the wonderful glass pendant which is spot on for the colours of my singing band Morrigan and will look fab! Thank you Firecat and hope you had a wonderful Christmas xx

What a lovely parcel we had to open this evening from Sarah the Flute! A bag, lovely teas, a number of small items, teas, a tea strainer, a CD of her music (!) and also exciting - seeds! I have a gardener friend with a magic touch so I think I will share seeds and we'll compare our results as the spring and summer progress. Note to self: be sure to drink the tea and plant the seeds, not the other way round!

Thank you Stilly River Sage! I came home yesterday to find The Box on my front porch. When I opened it, there was a baggie of elephant garlic from your garden! I love that stuff. And then there were the homemade cookies; two kinds, both excellent and both being rationed. The homemade grape jelly got busted out for breakfast. The audiobook is one that I've been planning to get to for a while, so I have that to look forward to. And one question - is pickled okra just eaten, like pickled, or is it an ingredient? I've had okra before, but never in this form. Thank You So Much!

From: Stilly River Sage

I should have included a note - pickled okra is an acquired taste if you haven't eaten a lot of okra in a variety of ways. And those were packed a few months ago - they really benefit from waiting about six months before opening.

What I've told a few other non-Texas recipients is to wait till spring or next summer, then when they do an event with friends put the jar out. Try it, and if you have a southerner in the mix or someone who has spent time around cultures that eat okra, one of them will adore it. Many vegetables can be pickled, this is one of them. If you don't like it, send the rest of the jar home with someone who does. Even opened it keeps for quite a while so put it back in the fridge and try again later. Okra is in the hibiscus family, and I've always thought there was a hint of a perfume component in the flavor. The okra, peppers, and garlic packed with salt, mustard seed and vinegar are all from my organic garden.

From: Hollowfox

I'm so glad it finally arrived! You said you liked crystals in your last SS Hints posting, so I thought it would work this time as well. I may have inadvertently not packed a couple of labels for two of the stones. One was the sodalite (the big one), that you can set on a light source and it lights up beautifully. I'll see if I can find the label for the little round one at home. The candies are called buckeyes, as they resemble the seed of Ohio's state tree. I think they'd make fine conkers.
Weather here is crazy. Last Sunday it was in the fifties (Fahrenheit) at noon (about 10 Celsius, I think), and it was snowing by 2:30 PM. Then yesterday we had 24 hours of high winds (like 60 miles per hour). The weather front was more than five hundred miles long (Great Lakes to North Carolina), so I think the snow all got blown a few hundred miles away. Enjoy your day!

So pleased that everyone in this year's game has sent and received their presents. Farewell from Santa's little Organiser until October.

Thank you for organising Vectisxx
I have just finished the book Hollowfox, what a wonderful read and what a wonderful lady Jean was. Now I have to get some of her CDs. The weather here has the turned back to winter,, strong winds and log fires for me.
