After a year hanging in the shadows, regretting that they didn’t sign up last year, please welcome back Slava!

Getting near the bottom, time for a bump.

13 last year was the most people so for wasn’t it? Already at 11 this year and hopefully a few more over 13 by the end of the month. I definitely had a big ear to ear grin yesterday when cheese actually put it in the game thread.

That is correct! We had 13 last year in total. Let’s try and smash that record this year with… 14!

To help stir the intrigue I too put a note in my sig!


Also note - we have people signed up from outside Calgary so don’t let that be a barrier if you are interested in taking part.

We are still looking for more people to join up. I’ve had some PMs poking and inquiring but some hesitation. Come and join!

I’ve watched from the sidelines previously but count me in. I’ll get the questionnaire to you later today/tomorrow.

Awesome, that makes 13 like last year. We have 2 1/3 days now for more people to join so we can beat last years number.

Staring at you Fuzz & Sliver!

Yes Lumby you are correct, we are one person short of our largest number yet.

There are a few people from the last few years that I haven’t heard from this season. Hopefully they just keep forgetting to sign up.

Perhaps there are others that are just watching from the sidelines. If that is you, be like FurnaceFace and take the plunge.

I know personally, I enjoy doing this as a way of saying thanks to the community at large. I can’t do that for everybody but one person at a time is a bit more manageable. The whole point of the idea is strengthening the community in a small way, or at least a few people within it. I’m generally here for the laughs and the Secret Santa IMO is just an extension of that - it can even get a bit quirky, it’s fun.

Perhaps others are willing to share their experiences as a way of softening some potential hesitations.

I think I’ve been in it since the inaugural year? Anyways, it’s lots of fun and I look forward to it every Christmas season. It is always awesome seeing what people get and I really enjoy finding a gift for the secret Santa I get. Of course, I’ve gotten some amazing gifts over the years too and often something I wouldn’t think of getting myself.

This is my third year involved in this and it is super fun and easy. Hopefully a few more people sign up for it.

Ok everyone it’s Dec 1! That means (later) tonight I will organize the draw and get the information out to all of you. It might not be until midnight, which means Hi Psi you have until 9 pm to get me your information.

That means we officially have 15 people and maybe 16 making this the largest Secret Santa yet! Snek! Snek! Snek!

If anybody else wants to be a buzzer beater PM me a filled out survey from the OP and I’ll get you on the list. You have until 9 pm tonight!

Thanks everybody!
