Ladies and gentlemen, I know you feel it. There's a special buzz in the air. It's a balmy 85 degrees outside. The Ags are losing SEC West football games at home. CDUB is particularly angry. It can only be time for...
The 2017 GENERAL BOARD SECRET SANTA!!!
If there are no objections, I'm happy to run it again via Elfster. The sign-up link is below:
https://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/25015490/6dd0eb/
If you've never done this with us, you should. It's a lot of fun, and your fellow GBers have proven to be very generous and thoughtful gift-givers. All are welcome to participate, and nobody (that I know of) has ever had issues with their Santa. You can review last year's thread HERE if you're curious.
If you do have concerns about anyone specific, you can contact me off the board and I can ensure that you don't get paired up with any specific person.
The basics will be the same as last year:
The gift limit is $50. Sign-up deadline is November 13. Gifts are to be delivered by December 20, so ship in plenty of time!
Some tips:
- MAKE SURE YOUR ELFSTER SCREEN NAME IDENTIFIES YOU. We don't know your real name, after all, so we need to know who you are so we can buy appropriately. I'll verify identities of those who are questionable. Anyone impersonating another poster (yes, this has happened) will be banned.
- Fill out your wish list! You can post a link to almost any site and it will get added to the list. The wish list isn't just good for shopping, but for giving your Santa an idea of the types of stuff you like.
- Use the anonymous interface to talk to your selectee, and to other GBers. Some people in the past have entertained us by asking zany questions over the course of the exchange.
- If you don't normally, post on the GB. Say hello in the Good Morning thread. Offer an opinion on the suitability of "toucan" as the name for your child. Getting to know everyone will help you have a great exchange.
- When you get your gift, post pics in this thread and tell us about it.
- Be excellent to each other. Be thoughtful in your gift selection. Don't flake or be a jerk. If you have a problem or need to back out or whatever, just tell me and I'll handle it. Be nice.
Let's do this!
