Rerun can you please do the draw long before Nov.2.  If it has to be mailed overseas (especially to NZ and Australia) it takes months if you don't send airmail and airmail costs a lot more than regular mail.  Would have cost me almost $80 last years to sent the gift airmail!!  So please can you let us know early!!! I had to send to Ireland one year and it didn't get there until Feb even though I mailed it before Nov. 23!!

OK, I think everyone should have their secret person.  If you are listed on the first post of this thread, and you do not have a name and address let me know.  I have had to PM a few members because the address had questions or I need a phone number because someone has you that lives in a different country and we need it.  So, please get back to me so I can send that information on to your Secret Santa.

LET  THE  FUN  BEGIN.........   :santahat;
