TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP!!! MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER ON ELFSTER TOO!
What are we exchanging?
It looks like the majority of people were fine with an exchange of an Ornament/Holiday music/Calendar. On Elfster please specify your preferences if you have one on your wishlist. I think a limit of $20.00 or less should cover any one of those items.
Sign up
An invite has already been sent out to some of you that did the past Elfster that I organized. (you can still decline)
You have until November 9th to sign up. This means you have to
actually go to the Elfster sight, not just get the email from me. Names will be drawn on the 10th
Exchange date will be December 7th. This date is before all the holidays start and gives us nearly a month to shop and get our packages sent. Try to get your package out on time! Allow extra time if you need to ship across the border.
To those that would like to sign up. We ask that you are an active participant on this board. We do no want to exclude people, but it really sucks to send a gift and then not receive one in return. 30 posts in the 30 days or a known name, PM me if your are unsure you can join.
To get an invite Send me a PM with your email. If you do not want to give me your email I can PM you a link.
Privacy The exchange is already listed as private. Only the person who gets your name can see your address.
Not being able to fulfill your commitment. You may sign up with good intentions, but for some reason are unable to give your gift, please contact me or your Elfster A.S.A.P. We can then work out a solution where everyone can receive a gift. Also don't sign up if you suck at fulfilling your commitments.
Change?
I'm going to put up another CP to see if we want to change this exchange from ones in the past. We can make it so that the person you draw is the same person who draws you. (pen-pal style) This gives us a little more accountability but also leaves out some surprise on who has drawn your name.
Let me know if you have any question.
Re: Holiday exchange sign up! LAST DAY!
Sent you a PM with my email.
I know we can be difficult like herding cats, so thanks for setting this up.

That is understandable. YH probably doesn't want a bunch of strange internet moms hanging out in his pool when you guys aren't around.
Penny YGPM. I'll be sure to check my email
And Liz -- I mentioned the elfster exchange to MH yesterday and he wasn't thrilled about me doing it. He said he is afraid someone will mail us something that will kill us. Really???
Grrr, it won't let me PM you for some reason. Can you send me a message and maybe I can respond?
And thank you for coordinating this. I'm excited to participate!
I second that motion.
Penny YGPM. You bushes better not mail me any anthrax.
ETA: Street drugs are okay though.
But anthrax is such a lovely gift and something that both Dr. Worm and I could probably procure. Damn, now I will have to think of something else.
I know he definitely thinks Crystal and Mack come to NJ and sit across the street with binoculars... I guess he doesn't want anyone joining them.
LOL!
Penny it won't let me pm you.
