If it takes long enough you may still get a secret Santa present...

Ooooh. Secret Mother. I like the ring of that. However, if I'm getting the gift then that would make me the mother. Yeah, scratch that one. However, there's Father's Day, and I'm already a father, so what's one more kid. One more grown, nondependent kid. ;) Besides, that might give me the chance to say to my gift giver, "Who's your daddy?" just for kicks.  :-*

If it takes long enough you may still get a secret Snata present...

Good point. And then I'll be the first person (hopefully) to get my gift this year AND  the moment won't be lessened by my obligation ;) to give a gift, since I'd already done so in 2005. A win-win!

A bit late in posting a response here but I have received my gift from my SS. Thanks for the figs and for the "other" items. Will have to wait until next winter to give those a try.  ;)

Dear Secret Santa: Consider yourself off the hook.

We're getting close to the time where next Christmas will be closer than last Christmas. As of today, I'm giving up on receiving anything.

I don't think that was intentional.  We're still working on getting this fixed.  :-\

Would like to be removed from this 'game'-freeing anyone's obligation to give me anything

I see it 2 ways

-- Didn't really care as much about receiving anything for my self as much as I did at giving;When I tried that(giving) it failed--I've apologized to my recipient for this however I won't risk sending more value his way only to get lost by the PO again.

--I guess if I didn't get anything by now than I wasn't meant to-so to make it easier on my 'giver', I withdraw.

From my own experience my first impression with SS is a failure. I noticed that for most it is a success however, and for them I am happy.

Well guess what showed up at home yesterday? Yup, a package from the North Pole (via SoCal). My Secret Santa came through...and I mean came through big time! My daughters "assisted" in the unwrapping and here's the haul:



For those without a magnifying glass, here's a list of what we got:

Commander Cody (yeah!)
2 x VOTC Stormies (rock on!)
Clone Pilot - black
Commtech Stormie
OTC Stormie (woot!)
HOF Stormie (woot!)
Clone Commander - green
Tactical Ops Trooper
Commander Bly
Clone #41
Clone #06
Commander Gree
Jedi Knight Luke Kubrick
Queen Amidala Hallmark ornament (which my 2 1/2 year old proceeded to call Princess Leia. We tried to correct it, but the farthest she got was calling her Princess Leia's mommy. Close enough.)
Assorted pogs/cards/posters/goodies (unfortunately packed in an Anaheim Angels bag :P).

So, how's that for a haul? SantaMAC came through way more than was expected...and just in time for Memorial Day!  ;)

But just one question for Santa: What, no Scorch? ;)

Thanks a ton Santa!

Nice haul, Bob. I wonder how the 'Mac' was able to acquire all THAT! 8)

If you had asked me last year if 2005's thread would still be going in May...wow. I wouldn't have thunk it.  :-\


Will there be a 2006 event?

Yep, we're setting up the sign up next week and people will have their assigned names on July 1st.
