Secret Santa handed on the elves

[maytagbear]

I may live to regret catching the elves, though I rather hope not <br <br
I know that everyone here can be a perfect lady OR gentleman, and I hope that shall be so throughout the Holiday Season <br <br

Well, this is my first time.

I was told that ladies actually say, "You were not my first, but my second". The gullible fool about to put a ring on their finger buys it hook, line and sinker, and everytime. <br
Congratulations on your endeavor <br
Ho Ho Ho to all the big Ho-s!

Forgive my stupidity

I didn't do this last year. Am I right in thinking that if I sign up, I'll get a gift from a Secret Santa, and not know who that person is? And meanwhile, I give a gift to a different person who doesn't know who I am? It seems to me that I recall doing something like this years back <br
I'll seriously consider this. It could be fun <br
Lawrence: others have landlines still. It's required if one has DSL Internet. And I bet around here, there is more than one person with a rotary dial phone connected to that landline!

 

[maytagbear]

You won't know until

you open the package(! <br <br
I always include my name INSIDE the box <br <br
And yes, you send something (nice, we hope), anonymously to another member of AW.org <br <br
I have DSL from AT&T, so I have the landline <br <br
Santa/Maytagbear

 

[j2400]

Thanks! I was pretty sure I knew how this worked...but I'm careful since I've been "pretty sure" too many times about something that I was really "totally wrong" about!

 

[toggleswitch2]

Pretty in Pink

BUMP <br
~Lawrence: others have landlines still. It's required if one has DSL Internet. And I bet around here, there is more than one person with a rotary dial phone connected to that landline <br
I have a DSL and was able to drop my "Ma-Bell" landline <br
I now use a Magic Jack (it's a PHONE LINE dear) via the web for $20 PER YEAR. It has some flaws, but good enough to give out to businesses, banks and credit cards. Most people call me through my cellular/mobile, so I now only give one number out; that of my cellular phone.
