It's about that time of year.

Who's interested in doing Secret Santa this year?

If you want to participate:

PM secret santa 09 with a link to your Amazon wishlist by December 20. Seems like a good enough date to me.

Mention what country you live in and whether or not you are willing to ship internationally. I don't know about other countries, but shipping int'l from the US is super cheap through the USPS for things like DVDs and CDs.

Price limit is $30 USD to account for the free super saver shipping minimum.

osiris · 11:41 AM

I'm in.

shifuimam · 10:02 AM

I'm the self-imposed queen of Secret Santa this year. I'm unemployed and therefore have a lot of time to orchestrate things. PM secret santa 09 with a link to your Amazon wishlist if you wish to partake in this year's festivities.

Also: be sure to mention what country you live in and if you prefer to not ship internationally.

YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS, IMPOSTER! allcaps

Cthulhu · Dec 2, 2009, 01:30 PM

I spread madness and good fear.

You could also put your time to productive use and babysit Besson

Merry X-mas.

Come on, kids, where's your Christmas cheer?

I'll send someone some fun filled Japanese things in exchange for food items of equal or greater value.

Josh needs himself some Girl Scout Cookies and real tooth paste.

dzp111 · Dec 2, 2009, 06:31 PM

Is there a limit?

shifuimam · Dec 2, 2009, 08:37 PM

Good question. Last year I think it was $20 USD. How's that sound?

dzp111 · Dec 2, 2009, 08:44 PM

How about my password to Photobucket? It's all I can really afford right now.

Hey, my pics are smooth and more or less comical..

Santa??

What do I get..?

besson3c · Dec 2, 2009, 08:55 PM

I have a Shake and Bake coupon.

besson3c · Dec 2, 2009, 09:20 PM

I bet one of those Secret Santas is Abe in disguise...

Would you guys like an update on Art Bell?

Amazon upped their free shipping policy - I think $25 is the minimum to qualify,

Yes, ingenious test!

shifuimam · Dec 3, 2009, 12:17 PM

So, how about a $25-$30 limit?

Besson, do me a favor and GTFO. Don't derail this thread, mkay?

besson3c · Dec 3, 2009, 01:43 PM

I shall be on my best non-derailing behavior shif. In return, maybe you can send me $30 worth of cookies?

shifuimam · Dec 3, 2009, 02:08 PM

If you want to participate, PM secret santa 09 with a link to your Amazon wishlist and whether or not you prefer to ship within your own country or will do international.

Chuckit · Dec 3, 2009, 03:30 PM

As shifuimam said, don't derail the thread. If you want to talk about a secret santa thing, cool. If not, move along.

BTW, shif, you might like to edit the Secret Santa 09 contact info into your OP so it's immediately apparent when somebody clicks on the thread.

shifuimam · Dec 4, 2009, 09:11 AM

There's only one person who wants to get a present from an 'NNer?

Sorry, osiris, I guess I'll be buying you something this year.

SecretSanta · Dec 4, 2009, 09:22 AM

I arranged a boycott because this year's Secret Santa is a farce.

The Final Dakar · Dec 4, 2009, 09:25 AM

I heard the economy is bad or something.

That's ok shif, I was looking more forward to giving someone a gift. Just trying to spread a little joy.

That being said, are there no prisons, are there no workhouses?

shifuimam · Dec 4, 2009, 02:36 PM

You know, we could do secret santa Christmas cards if nobody is able to pony up any cash.

SecretSanta · Dec 4, 2009, 03:58 PM

No.

turtle777 · Dec 4, 2009, 04:09 PM

How about Secret Santa PMs ?

shifuimam · Dec 4, 2009, 05:35 PM

What the hell is wrong with you guys?

So much for the Christmas spirit.

Laminar, would your e-peen feel better if you did SS again this year?

Laminar · Dec 4, 2009, 05:53 PM

What do I have to do with this thread?

osiris · Dec 4, 2009, 08:20 PM

But the use of "pee-pees" and "wee-wees" is strictly forbidden under Article 15 §12 ¶83c of the MacNN constitution.

starman · Dec 22, 2009, 05:38 PM

So whatever happened with this? I was thinking about it this afternoon. Did it really die?

It's a Christmas miracle!

Also, thanks for reminding me that I still need to buy my non-secret Christmas presents.

Laminar · Dec 22, 2009, 07:00 PM

It's all about the charisma of the Santa.

osiris · Dec 23, 2009, 08:41 AM

Santa is dead. Deal with it.

The Final Dakar · Dec 23, 2009, 08:43 AM

Obama killed secret santa.

Face Ache · Dec 23, 2009, 04:12 PM

Last years presents must have really sucked.

shifuimam · Dec 24, 2009, 09:10 PM

I'm still up for organizing Secret Santa, but I think it's a little late and not nearly enough people are interested.
