Santa! You found this post! You're great! So smart! Listen, the thing I really want most for Sassmas is for you not to be a deadbeat. I've done Sass for the last two years, and both years I've been deadbeated by horrible pieces of poo poo. Thankfully, Re-sass is a wonderful thing, and I got nice Christmases in February, but that just not the same, is it precious? There's a lot of heartbreak in January, so please don't make me suffer again! You're fantastic, Santa, I know you won't let me down!  Okay, so I live in China. If you live in some place that isn't the US, PLEASE send me some of your native junk. Snacky things are good, currency is really fun, cultural stuff is great, even tacky, kitchy gee-gaws will be be appreciated! If you're a US goon, send some love from home to my -Reece's pieces -Flent's earplugs (they're purple, CVS and Walgreens have 'em) If you want to send something else, that would be super. I like lots of goony stuff, except anime and cartoons. Please do not send cartoon stuff. Here is a list of things I'm into, in no particular order: -Lovecraft, T.S. Eliot, Kerouac, Shakespeare (don't send books, got plenty) -Weightlifting (some wrestling shoes would be boss, I'm size 10) -Fine alcohol and tobacco -Bizarre yet tasty snacks from your local area -A 50 foot sailboat -Ties (real, attractive ties, though. Please do not make me wear a Snoopy tie like grandma used to) -Fudge -  Especially DIY stuff.-Drawings and other artsy, craftsy poo poo, if you're good at that -Waffle House swag -Spaaaaaaaaaaaace -Fun projects in a box -Fossils -The Church of the Subgenius -Stupid, fun poo poo (last year I got a $1 paddle-ball game. I still play with it) -A nice, handwritten letter -The typical poo poo that goons find interesting -Cool old stuff -iPad 2 (in black, tia) -Deadly, angry bees Hope that gives you some good ideas! A word about shipping. China is far, far away, and sending even a moderately heavy box can easily run $70-100 if you get carried away. Be aware of that. Also, on the customs form: declare nothing. Put whatever, so long as whatever isn't valuable. Things that you should under no circumstances declare: -Alcohol -Tobacco -Electronics -Currency -Plants and animals -Cultural artifacts -Anti-China stuff -Medications -Dried Sea-Cucumber I love you, Santa!

Registered! Santa: I'm a 23 year old lady working on a psych degree. NSFW is fine so long as it's not on the outside of the package. I enjoy crocheting, booze, turtles (not live ones please oh god), and turquoise/purple things. I love homemade things, especially if I can wear it or otherwise decorate my room with it. My shirt size is Unisex-Medium or Large-Ladies. I'll probably love anything you send me, even if it's your own personal tastes. Santee: This is my first time doing this. Hope you like handmade yarn items and local stuff from Florida! cowpokebonanza fucked around with this message at Nov 2, 2012 around 21:30 |

I have never done this before and considering my reg date there is really no excuse for that. I'm excited! Santa! I'm a girly girl female with womanly parts I can assure you. I recently graduated Uni and am soon starting a soul-crushing job that has absolutely nothing to do with my major, my dreams, or my ideal lifestyle (hint: it's in finance!). I am trying to develop some hobbies in lieu of spending my days and evenings in a classroom and/or studying, and have recently discovered that I actually really like puzzles. I know, I just get lamer and lamer as time goes on. I generally try to do the 500 piece puzzles (16x20" I think), I don't have a table big enough to handle anything much larger than that. I play World of Warcraft because I am the penultimate goon. I also enjoy non-fiction books, specifically those about science or really fascinating/interesting things. Documentary-type books are cool, too. I like foreign alcohol (oh hell, any kind of alcohol), black licorice (salmiak and the like are special favorites). Foreign stuff in general is kind of awesome, I'm interested in food from other cultures, knick-knacks and religious items. I really don't care what I get though, a surprise would be fantastic even if it's completely outside of my interests (no dead animals though, please! Unless properly taxidermied, I suppose...)

My favorite time of year!  Future Santa, I am an IT guy who hates people but enjoys beer and whiskey. I wear a large shirt. I love Disney more than I should. I love homemade stuff and I eat just about anything. I like art. Here is my amazon wish list. It may not be of much help since most of the stuff is either blurays or incredibly expensive, but it gives you an idea where my priorities are (not really).

Ok, first year doing this, but pretty keen. Dear Santa I'm a big ol' Ausgoon on the cusp of thirtydom but mentally have never managed to hurdle the manthoughts of a 16 year old. I'm open to inanimate objects of cultural significance, sports, games (board, card and vidya), foods from all over, beards and funny things (as in "haha" funny not "grandpa smells funny"). As a big ol' meathead I wear a L in clothings but I have an unfortunate habit of tearing out of all my shirts. Dear Santee What are you opinions regarding Australian wildlife?

SASSMAS TIME BITCHES. Let's make it three awesome years in a row! Dear Santa! I'm a 25-year-old male software engineer out in sunny California. I am a huge geek and I love games, all kinds of games. Video games, board games, card games, you name it. My collection of video games is quite extensive, my non-electric game collection less so, but I don't want to poo poo a huge list all over the thread so if you want to go that route just ask me what I've got using the SASS messages. Hand-crafted and/or local poo poo would be really cool too. Local foodstuffs are totally awesome. Last year my Santa got me all kinds of local food and it was loving delicious. Also I'm a size L t-shirt, since everyone seems to be putting that info in their posts. And NWS poo poo is okay as long as it's inside the box and not something totally over the top like Goatse or its ilk. Dear Santee! I am awful at choosing gifts, so expect me to agonize over what to get you for weeks before I finally just choose something at random. Or my fiancee chooses something for me.

Last year was the first year I participated and it turned out awesome let's make it awesome again! I bought plat just to participate in this better.

I'm lonely. ► I am a I would appreciate a shot glass from your local area, I collect them. ► I wear a size XL t-shirt. ► I love candy, baked goods, and beer; if you have any local specialities I would like to sample them. ► Please no cinnamon, black licorice, or onions! ► If you insist on sending me something I can't eat, the more local and home-made, the better. ► NWS is totally fine, even encouraged. Alternatively, you can buy a bunch of Legos and donate them to your local charity toy drive in my name and take pictures. Super-mega-important-you-must-read-this-information: I won't be able to pick up or recieve packages from 12-27 December! Please contact me if that's going to be a problem, I'd hate for your package to be returned.

Dear Santa, *Hugs you!* I'm so glad we get to talk again this year! Last year was my first time officially signing up, although I watched my boyfriend participate the year prior, so I'm hoping to continue the streak of you being AWESOME! About me - I'm a 26 year old female that writes about video games for a living. Obviously then, video games are my passion, but the idea of actually getting me a video game probably isn't the wisest choice simply because I have so many anyway, and I have no way to let you know if you're duplicating. Of course, I won't turn a video game down, so do what you will Santa! Over the past year, myself and my boyfriend (also a gamer, if that matters) moved into a new apartment and I've been trying to decorate it with seashell / wicker / slightly nautical stuff (in shades of blue), so if you live in a coastal region, I want to be your friend! I love traveling and visiting tourist traps for souvenirs like magnets and keychains, and I'm so easily amused that I'm bound to love whatever you send/make to bits. Edit: I almost forgot! I have an unhealthy obsession with squished pennies (the ones you can make with a machine with fun designs). If you have any of these available nearby, sending me those would make a great, cheap gift! Edit again: No clothes or NSFW stuff, if you please. Santee, Prepare for tons of local chocolates and perhaps even a crafty goodie or two! Also, bees. Andaley fucked around with this message at Nov 9, 2012 around 04:19 |

I forget how many years I've done this now, but it has always been awesome. Many past presents were devoured on arrival, but non-edibles are still around despite many apartment/house moves (books, handmade scarf, etc). Dear Santa, I'm a late 20s, university IT lady who enjoys cycling, reading, video games, and drinking interesting beer/spirits in my spare time. My husband and I are still decorating our house, so if you have some sort of awesome artsy talent that you think should be displayed on a wall, that would be cool. Local foods or neat books about someone/thing important to your area are also welcome. Please no  or  stuffs.Santee, I hope you like locally roasted coffee, local beer, somewhat local spirits, and/or other foodstuffs!

YAY! I've done this two years now and it is AWESOME! Santa: By XMAS I will be a 24 year old who just finished my master's in American history. Obviously, I like history. I love evil as gently caress, heavy extreme metal. I enjoy baking and reading and watching tv shows, especially Carnivale, Twin Peaks, Modern Family, stuff like that. My shirt size is M. I really like animals of all kinds and I have a pet cat. I'm moving to Washington DC in the spring to start my new post-grad life. I'll love anything you get me, oh Santa. Please no NWS on the outside, I don't want my poor old mailman to die. E- Santee, I hope you like...local stuff. Maybe homemade stuff. I think I did a good job of dazzling my Santees in the past, or at least making them satisfied.

Well this was fun the last time I did this a couple years ago. And I got a titanium spork out of the deal too! Dear Santa: I am a 30something guy with way too much crap cluttering the house as it is so why the hell did I sign up for this? I like to read and run and eat and age and watch college football and soccer. If you send me some awesome stuff from your area that you don't think I'd be able to get in Wisconsin that'd be the best thing ever. If t-shirts are involved, I wear a large. Bonus points if there's booze. NSFW stuff is ok but no naughty pictures on the package, I live in a sleepy little suburban neighborhood and the goatman might be too much for the area's little old lady rumor mill. Dear Santee: You will be getting as many exciting things from America's Dairyland as I can cram into a "if it fits it ships" box from the USPS. I hope they make one big enough for a live walleye!

YAY SASS! I am a 29 year old married female graduate student who has been in school too long and isn't particularly interested in it anymore.... What I really would like for SASSmas is a real job. Baring that, I like things for cooking/baking, geeky items and basically anything you send me. Editing to add that if the gift makes it to me before Dec. 24th, I will be opening it in front of the inlaws, so nothing horribly disturbing. Also, if my santee is from the UK and feeling overly generous, I will make your life VERY easy by saying that I would love one of Amanda Loverseed's cut-thru cross stitch kits.

I also crochet, embroider and dabble with mask making and other random crafty stuff so anything crafting related would go down well.

Ah, the time of year has come quickly once more. I love SASS, many many thanks are due to those that run it behind the scenes and publically. Registered and ready to go. Pre-emptive Santa I'm a 27 year old Scottish male, interests range from fairly standard to the weird - videogames - mainly PC, plushies including Beanies, Herpetology (My best little Bearded Dragon pal is in the tank next to me), Masonic studies, Warhammer 40k, Battletech, D&D, the publications of Tolkien (which are an amazing read). I would request that my santa stay work safe in both the exterior of their gift and the interior. Foods etc are great, but be careful - the EU is a real pain when it comes to things like meat. Non-EU meat might get pulled. My Santee I'll study your interests and any post in this thread with your wishes, and take a look at your SA post history, to see if there is anything special I can find for you.
