Secret Santa '08

[fisheater]

Alright fellas its that time of year again for this.For those who are new or missed it last year ill explain.
How it would work is anyone who is interested p.m me there forum name,real name and address and what you like to fish for. by the deadline date,lets say december 5th.On the 6th ill send out a name to everyone in and thats who youll get to send too.Lets make it a 10.00 min. on gifts.Could be a lure or 2 or a box of stuff you dont use anymore.These do not have to be new.All names will be put in a bowl and my boys will draw them.
All involved please send one out so nobody who sends is left with nothing.This will be honor system only and to be fair to all i will place all the forum names, on this post to keep accountability the best we can.
Again if anyone puts there name on the list please send your gift.You will be someones secret santa and you will receive a gift.It would be pretty crappy if they did not recieve one back.
If in the end we get an uneven number ill send out two packages.This doesnt even have to be an out of pocket expense guys,get creative.If you make lures thats great,share them.If you have a box of lures you dont use much,pick a few out.
Be generous or give what you can afford or thinks fair.No big deal.In the end i hope there will be no complaints and plenty of thank yous.
For those who are concerned about giving out there address dont be.They will only be used for mailing address for your package,not to be used for anything else.I am known by several on this site to vouch for me.I have no company or they wont be sold,no bad intent at all.Only ones who will see it is another sender or possibly administer or moderator from this site.Thanks...JOHN

I forgot to mention for the ones who are new or missed it last year that the names drawn are paired up.So the one you send to is the one sending to you.Also if you have any suggestions to add to make it better,throw them at me.Thanks.

John, count me in again for sure....Just a thought...to be a little more secretatrive about who your secret Santa might be... Maybe have all the names listed side by side and instead of sending to the person who gets your name....slide the bottom list over to the side and send to the opposite person...this way no one will know who sent them their items.... Contact me if you got any questions....

another idea to simplify things and keep it anonymous whould be to not pair up people at all. This way you don't need an even number of participants either. Works like this... "A" sends a gift to "B", who sends a gift to "C" who sends a gift to "A". And on and on and on... Just tryin' to help.
