So, Hallowe'en has passed, and now we are in the home stretch to Christmas. I know all of you 'Muricans will have Thanksgiving, and others may have other holidays, yet for me at least the main stretch is now the 25th December.

A few years ago we had a fairly successful Secret Santa, and last year I tried to organise one but it ended up being a bit too late. In this spirit I am trying a bit earlier now.

'Rules' will be as follows:

1. Price limit - The suggestion will be £10 spending limit, approximately $13.
2. Moderator - I will moderate and get everyone their person to send it to. If anyone has any issues or problems then please let me know.
3. Distance - There will be no limit to who can join, no matter where you are. Also, this means you might be sending your present to someone half way around the world, so bare that in mind before signing up.
4. Elfster - To make things fair we'll be using the random secret santa generator Eflster (https://www.elfster.com/) that takes the addresses and messages you with on, by randomly assigning it to you. It means you will only be able to see one address.
5. Signing up - Register interest below, and feel free to make any suggestions/ask questions.

Anyway, hopefully we can use this to get some generation and interest back into the site. Celebrate Christmas with me :D

Sounds like fun. I am interested, but will see how things play out for now.

Hey guys!!

Even with just three people this thing can be fun!

I will be leaving this page open until the end of November to see how many folk we get.

Oh I forgot about it really ... There's not really enough folk for a good one.

Why not post your amazon wishlists? That’ll sort of do the same thing and if you get something in the mail it’d be a nice surprise! I just don’t know if Amazon is global or not. Should be?

I think in the spirit of Christmas, even if it ends up being a bit late, we should do something like this.

Lye, I believe Amazon do their thing globally, so that shouldn't be an issue. Else, you'll be waiting six weeks for any goodies from this side of the pond.

Sign me up, anyway.

Oksy if people are still up for it then please go ahead. Can you all please send me privately your address, real name and a list of three things you like or an amazon wishlist, or both. Please send by the 21st.
