Count me in, of course, Kitkatz!  I have had some awesome Secret Santa gifts - from Australia to Michigan. (though sometimes arriving after Christmas, but that is alright; I am not a Christmas person!)
Lil Bajanne also looks forward to this.
Will PM later

As far as posting,  I'm a little shy.
Ack, me too.  Actually, I'm VERY shy.  It took me ages to even find the bravery to register on this site.  But nobody knows who you are (yet!) so to start with you can just hide behind 'Murphy' ... Now, get posting; I've never received anything from Iowa!  ;D

And back on topic ... hmmm.  I must find a way to condense everything I like into one little list.  I fear I may struggle.

Count me in Kit... Will send you a PM with my info in it.  I like anything that smells good and makes me clean  and soft,  At my age everything is trying to dry up and wrinkle away.  Love anything sweet especially chocolate.  I love tee shirts and sweats in size large.
I love bedroom slides size M.  Love jewelry of all kinds but NO pierced earrings only cliips.  Anything from planet earth or where you live.  I guess that about covers it and I hope for a good SS like I have had in years past.

I'll have to think about this one, and talk to Mom.  I'm not sure where we'll be in December either.  She wants to be moved by November, but it's hard to know what's going to happen.

Lilbajanne and I just enjoy anything from your neck of the woods.  She collects shot glasses, so if you can add that in her gift, she would be estatic ( she just got one from Albequerque from one of my students who was recently there)
T-shirts are fine with me (she only likes fitting tops - she is presently a X- Large after her baby)and 2X's go well with me.  I get to wear them to dialysis.

Reindeer poop?  Now, that would be novel as I didn't even know you get reindeer in Colorado.  If you want to collect it and then mail it, go for it. :clap;

A lump of coal?  How about reindeer poop encased in a lump of coal.  That just about summarizes my year, so it would probably be an appropriate holiday gift for me. ::)  :rofl;

Fossilized poop in coal would be a scientific find f some sorts wouldn't it and be worth some money?

since I've signed up, I suppose I should list my likes and dislikes.

I'm good for books, music, plush toys.. and with them the weirder the better.  On top of my tv right now I have an I <3 NY baseball and a kidney

I'm also not opposed to candy.. *G*

The year that I was in the hospital for Christmas, I got smowman poop from the nurses.. *G*

I hate Hate HATE cinnamon.

Just sayin'.

But I do LOVE Peeps.  We can't get them this side of the pond.

I'm also partial to objects which are silver or sparkle.

If it helps, we're having our bathroom redone in time for Christmas and I love cute little novelty things (like unique rubber ducks).  I also like kitsch-y objects.

Other than that, I'm easy.  Mumsy says I'm the easiest person to buy presents for because I'm always so happy with anything that I'm given.  Easily pleased, me.
