The Sixth Annual Secret Santa!

[surferguy]

It’s time to dust off what has become an enjoyable growing tradition here on CP.

The weather is cool, the decorations are starting to emerge and the holiday season is right around the corner!

It’s time for the 6th Annual Calgary Puck Secret Santa!


For those that have taken part in the past this is old hat but for somebody who is new and hasn't been involved before this is the low down.

The idea is simple, sign up to give and receive a gift from a fellow poster. We had 16 participants involved last year which makes for a steady upward trend of participants. It’s organic, it’s fun, it’s ours.



If you are worried because you don't live in Calgary, it doesn't matter join up!

If you are curious send me a PM and ask any questions you may have.

If you have done it before and are in again - welcome back!

Rules:

Registration closes Monday Dec 4th (at 9pm Calgary time) and details of your recipient will be sent on the 5th of December. I need to run this a bit later this year as I’m on holiday with a significant time change so I’ll need a few days upon my return to sort everything out to get out the info to everybody.

In order to participate you must be willing to gift something approximately $20-30 CAD before shipping costs. You can choose to go beyond if you wish too.

You must be beyond a draft pick to participate.

Do not register if you do not intend to follow through - those who Scrooge will be barred from future participation.

You MUST be comfortable with providing me and your sender with your post address.

After the entry deadline passes I will make an exchange list and I will provide you with somebody from the master list and it will be your responsibility to send a gift for that person.

Send your gifts as soon as possible to allow time for them to arrive with the intent of all arrivals before the holidays.

When all is said and done post a picture/description of what you got!

To register:

Make your intention clear in this thread.

Send me a PM.

I will reply with a short questionnaire, in turn, that will be provided to your Santa. The questionnaire is a few questions to help Santa get something you would enjoy.

Once you return the questionnaire to me filled out I will then add you to the master list in this thread.

Once on the master list you are expected to take part in the exchange.

Disclaimers:

Everybody should be entering this in good faith.

The intent of this exchange is good meaning fun and perhaps get to know another poster along the way. The gifts in the past have been wonderful so lets keep it rolling!



Thanks for taking part!

-Name and Address
-10 things about you

-Do you have a spouse / S.O.?

Is this just because I bought my buddy a fleshlight in my friend group's secret santa a couple years ago?

He did take it for a spin in case you're wondering. Said it was half decent.

It would certainly make things interesting. I’d imagine I’d have answer a few questions from my kids, wife and parents if I opened that up on Christmas morning.

Really? You wouldn't even have to lie. "It's a woodworking tool," you remark, as you head out to the shop.

[Cheese]

Im in again!

[Maccalus]

I will jump in for this again. It is always a fun tradition.

[surferguy]

Cheese and Bagofpucks have completed their survey and are back on the list!
