That sounds like even more work than shopping!

I'm thinking about it. I will say, I think this is such an amazing idea, I really like it, I just dont want to let anyone down.

Don’t think you would ever let anyone down. And tax advice is a perfect gift. If the person you buy for has a small business you could get them a gift card from a liquor store, add a note with it explaining that.
“Receipts for liquor as gifts aren’t deductible but if you buy gift cards from a liquor store, claim them as gifts or promotions and use them for personal use”
See you do good and get a tax break for yourself as well.

All right everyone, we are just over 24hrs from closing this years registration period. I’m going to start last call. It would be wonderful if we had three more come aboard. Let’s see what happens over the next day.

If you need one or two more to balance the numbers properly I would double up

Appreciate that Jiri but it’s not a matter of numbers to make the exchange work. We need one more to equal last years total number and 2 to exceed. Exceeding is always neat!

Alright, alright...hit me. I'll be in. I'll get your questionnaire done as soon as I can. I should have some time this afternoon to do your thing.
But if my gift comes with an apology letter....be warned! I suck at giving gifts.

With Locke that matches last years number of participants. We need one more Santa so we can keep this tradition growing.
It is really fun!

Yay Locke is in. I’m looking forward to him giving vintage Greyhound swag and company pens. Maybe even a swatch of A&W root bear fur! ;-)

Well with Locke coming aboard that means one more will put us over our previous year tally. Holy smokes, I wasn’t sure we would be in this position last night.
Who is going to lay claim to that coveted spot?
Be warm and join us in the holiday fun.

Crap, I thought we were just pretending we never came in here so we didn't have to address the pressure.
FWIW I really like this thread and it is super cool of surferguy to organize it. Very entertaining and fun to share in it with everyone.
I generally don't love December, so I try to limit stuff to do. Two corporate year ends that need wrapping up by December 31, so it's really busy. Totally boring answer, but that's what's up for me.
But c'mon, guys. One more is all that's needed. Do it for surferguy...he's the nicest guy ever.

That Locke gets...
I acknowledge that 'Gift-Giving' is one of my great failings, among many, I admit. But I have pledged to do my best.

Ahh shucks Sliver these are very nice things to say.
I think now that Locke is in, I’d just pair him up with you to do your year end letting us go party somewhere super random like the Fairview bowling alley.

Toppler Bowl? Next to the Stonegate Pub? I've been kicked out of both. I grew up in Acadia. Bring it!
