Um Corgan? If the addresses are supposed to be private, how come I can see mine, but not anyone elses?

i think you can see your own. if you can't see anyone else's then they can't see yours. your santa will be the only one who knows it.

Oh ok, I'll go put it in then. I only had my city and state.

So I assume since we're using SW handles we will be using them on packages as well, or do we inform our SS of our real name?

I just looked at everyone's wishlists and many of you don't have anything on them! Do you guys need wishlists before tomorrow or can you add stuff at any time??
Sinder

I just added my name to the list!
Also, I could find anything simple for my wish-list! If anyone gets me, think flavored tea's! I LOVE TEA! LOL!
or Lip Balm. I'm so simple! :)

Seriously, more of the wishlists need to be filled out. C'mon, I want to know what you all want for the holidays!
BrunetteGoddess
11-09-2007, 11:46 AM
If people don't fill out wishlists, that means to me they don't mind what they get.
Sinder, a lot of people will probably pass up your reply in here about what you'd like, so post it in your wishlist ;)
Deadline to sign up is tomorrow guys! That's when the drawing will be.

With the address thing - I dont have a pobox and dont plan on getting one just for the secret santa... I also dont want to post it on the website. anyway the secret santa can go thru say Corgan since she set it up and get our address and Corgan can give it to them!?
SundayMorning
11-09-2007, 01:30 PM
Audrey, the way that Corgan set up our group is that the only people who will be able to see your address are you and your Santa. Nobody else can see it. (IINM.) Does that help?
BrunetteGoddess
11-09-2007, 02:11 PM
Yeah, I was worried about addresses too until Corgan changed it to private.
So how does this all work? Sounds like good old fashioned silly fun.

Cool! I signed up. Of course the first thought that went thru my mind is what if I get some1 that hates me on here? Lol. Could be the other way around too8) Fun! Love how they make you put birthdays on there....;)

I can't wait to find out who we got!!!
So how does one know? Yes, I am an idiot.

You get an email I believe...

The FAQ says:
"Once the Sign Up Deadline has arrived, an email will be sent to you with a link to the Draw Page which details whose name you drew and how you can quietly get information from them without giving away who you are!"
What confused me (and yes, shiny things do that to me also...) was the emails I am getting saying

Hi will,
This message is to let you know that XXX has responded to the invitation for the exchange

I assume that just means they are on the general list.

When you signed up, there was an option that said it would email you every time someone signed up. You had to uncheck it to not get those emails.

So far I don't see anyone on there I have an issue with. I mean I've gotten in some disagreements with people like Yekh, but that was little stuff, not enough to steer me away from buying for if her if I got her, yanno?

Psssh! It's the holidays! Even if you did get into a silly online argument with one of hte girls (or guys) it's the perfect time to put it away and enjoy yourself!
I'm such a mushy chick around the holidays, I swear. It's like some sweet 80 year old woman invades my body and wants everyone to love each other! ;D
BrunetteGoddess

Yep, I agree EE.

:bouncey: Yay! I can't wait till tomorrow! Corgan this was such a great idea!
Who ever gets me - I left my wishlist kind of general because I'm pretty easy going and love to be surprised! But feel free to ask me questions if you need more specifics!

Ew! Going to take this moment to share a yummy eggnog recipe. Eggnog (duh) Spiced rum, a splash of Orange Juice and a shot of vanilla extract. Soooooooo Yummy! If you like Orange creamsicles you'll love this.
gingerlee

^^Since I don't drink, does that still taste good without the alcohol in it? All the ones I have tried taste like shit, and I really want to like eggnog!

Kaylinn
11-09-2007, 11:31 PM

Corgan

The $20 thing really makes this impossible. I haven't spent that little on a girl since about 3rd grade. And it was pretty close!
If you want to remove the ceiling, I think you'd find much more creative gifts.
And we had until Saturday to sign up, but it seems that it's closed already on Friday night, SW time.
And I had such great ideas....oh well.
Corgan

^ i feel bad now. :( when i drew it was past midnight :(
you can still send all us sw girls a lush prize each ;) if you want. teehee.
oh... bother... i feel so bad :( pm me your address and i will send you something sweet.
i really do feel awful.

That's okay, you can still buy me a gift. I won't have a problem with it being over $20 either. After all, all I want for Christmas is a Porsche Carrera.

No, no, no. I give, you receive. That is a law that never changes.
I know why spending limits are imposed, but let's be serious. $20 doesn't even pay a fraction of the sales tax on something really interesting or cool.
It's OK, I know that the challenge is in finding something interesting that is also inexpensive. I just don't do that.
Next time.....

I can't say I've ever even recieved a gift where the tax was more than $20.
But obviously, we all don't have the same spending capacity. $2o is a stretch even for some of us in this...it was just for the sake of fun, not price. I would be happy with recieving a bag of m&m's in the mail from my santa...just cause mail that isn't bills is a rare gift in itself.
