CHRISTMAS IS SAVED! It's a Festivus Miracle!

It's time friends!

It's getting to be that time of the year again. Days are getting shorter, holiday decorations are coming out, the MLB Playoffs are starting, the NFL is in full swing and the NBA/NHL are starting. Yes, it's almost the Christmas season. That means random people from the internet sending you weird sports-related gifts!

This will be the thread for sign-ups and discussion. Here are the basic rules:

* GO HERE TO SIGNUP. Answer the questions giving whatever information you think your Santa will need to not send you a terrible gift

* The basic spending limit is $20. Feel free to go over or under that at your discretion. Remember, it's the thought that counts. Use the $20 limit as a guideline, not an absolute.

* Sign-ups end on December 15th

* Do not post your address in this thread. Only post that you're interested in here. This is so I can verify everyone who is signed up.

Once you do this, everything will be good to go. People will be matched up with one another and within a couple days of the final sign-up deadline, everyone will be matched up with one another.

Have fun with this! Happy Holidays!

Please make sure that you fill out your mailing address completely. This is extremely important, and if you don't, your entry will be deleted. I am not going to chase people down this year! If your details are not in by December 15th, I will delete you from the sheet and mock you publicly.

Questions? Suggestions? Want to change something in your entry? Mail me

No previous Grinches are excluding from participating, because I don't know who the previous Grinches are. Clean slate!

This year there is a question on the survey acknowledging that being a Grinch and not sending a gift should be ban worthy.

Jesus Christ I spent like an hour looking for this thread last night and I couldn't find It because it was apparently on the last page

I have no idea what is involved in doing a secret Santa but I really don't want SASSS to die :ohdearsass:

so if it's not too late/literally anyone else wants to participate I could pretend to know how to facilitate I guess

leokitty: Apr 5, 2005; I live. I die. I live again.

I'm not going to run the thing but I'd participate and I'll see if I can find any matching software or whateves online but I bet a lot of that is manual work.

I actually just did a form and had a helper assist me in lining up the group I was in. I actually almost kinda sorta have time, let me take a look and see if I can find the form from last year.

Maybe we can save this...

e: Thanks for the sticky kind mod!

Tbh I figured the apartment number line would cover things like that. Are you saying if yours says 'leokitty' your building people will have no idea what to do with it?

What are "building people"?? If the postman leaves a slip in my mailbox instead of delivering the package because nobody is home/they didn't bother trying to deliver it I won't be able to pick it up at the post office. Anyway this can be solved easily for leokitty the individual but I don't know anyone else's situation.

I think my apartment office likes full names, but as long as it has the apartment number I should be okay...
