What we will do is I will collect the list of names and addresses and email addys from those who want to partcipate and then I will draw names out of a hat and match you up with someone. Then starting around Thanksgiving, you each need to go to Yahoo or hotmail or some sort of FREE email program and set up a temporary FREE email address so you can send your partner nice emails and ecards............setup something nobody will now or guess something like....................
[email protected] or something holidayish! Then starting around the week AFTERThanksgiving, we will begin, I want to begin early so we can get the full effect of this. You will send your buddy weekly ecards, weekly emails................special treats etc......something to entice them and get them in the christmas spirit. Then we will select a date, probably around the 5th of December due to holiday mailings and you will send your buddy a secret santa gift ($10 value or more if you want) but do not send your name with it, just use a *secret name* and then around the week of Christmas, assuming everyone has their gifts, we will all post who we *think* is our secret santa and then after everyone guesses, we will then reveal our true identity. If you dont' think you can FULLY participate by sending WEEKLY ECARDS AND EMAILS then please dont' sign up, we dont' want anyones feelings hurt at the end.
Any other suggestions or input from you guys are very much welcome!
