I was just thinking about this yesterday and nearly posed the same question!  Everytime I go shopping I see odd things and think, 'Oooh, I bet (ihd screenname) would like this!'

Cebu, and Cordillia...

Very easy to take part... One person undertakes to organise it... Was KitKatz last year (and boy did she wield the big stick to get people moving!)... Then you send a private message to the organiser with your Screen name, your real name, your address, and if outside of the US, a contact telephone number...

The organiser puts all the names into a hat and draws names... He/she will then send you a private message giving you the name, and contact details of the person you've to send a gift to.... Nobody, apart from your Secret Santa will be given your details, and your phone number will not be given...

There's a thread created where people can list their likes, dislikes, allergies, etc. to give you some help in choosing if you wish to use it...

Welcome to the legendry IHD Secret Santa Gift Exchange... You'll love it!.... I know I do... Well, when people don't try to kill me, that is... You listening Paris and Del???...  :rofl;, Or send irritating squeaky toys to my dog... Sound familiar, Marc???....  :rofl;

Love to all... Oh and Happy Christmas!.... It's only 107 days away!....

Darth....

Kitkatz ran screaming into a closet when she read this thread! She is now curled up in a corner weeping and screaming: "Didn't we just do that!"  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;


But seriously. I have to check with admins before a formal announcement is made for this year.   

If anyone wants to organize the Secret Santa thing this year....Please step on in. Contact Okarol.

It involves:
You collect names and addys from people who want to participate.
You put names in a hat and match them to your list.
PM addys to Secret Santas.
Bug people to get their gifts in the mail.
Keep track of people who receive gifts.
Bug people to send their gift out!
Be sure anyone who does not receive a gift gets one.
Be in contact with admins about anyone who does not send a gift.
Be sure that people are sending thank yous via PMs or on the boards to their Secret Santas.
Bug people to get THAT gift into the mail!

Obviously you haven't been shopping lately! I've been seeing Christmas stuff for a couple of weeks now!
When I worked at Value City (Department Store) we always started putting out Christmas stuff in September.

I started my Christmas shopping in the January sales.  I already have a drawer full to the brim with all sorts of goodies!  It's never too early to think of Christmas!

Ahhh the age old debate of Men vs Women regarding shopping! :sarcasm;
 
Where I go shopping, Christmas items are not on display, but a bow tie was used in a dsplay for the suto parts center if you want to claim that as Christmasie? :urcrazy;
 
Grocery store has nothing, Pharmacy has nothing, and so far niether does the Pet stores, but they do have Halloween.

The Christmas Discount store is just about ready to reopen here.  It usually opens around the end of September.  Always all kinds of neat stuff in there..
