I will randomly assign a Secret Santa to everyone using a number generator. If there are special requests, I may make tweaks as necessary. If you wish to remain anonymous when sending, please let me know so you don't end up with my name.
2. Answer the questions below in a reply to this thread. Your Secret Santa once assigned will review those answers to determine what to give you. If you would rather not list your answers here in the thread, please do so in your email. We can make that work. And if you know of members on here who might not see this thread, tell them about it. The more the merrier!
3. Secret Santas will be given out on (or around) Sunday, November 21st. Once you've been assigned a person, check this thread, but PLEASE, DO NOT reveal who you have. OK? Deal. If you need me to fish for some ideas for your person, just let me know.
4. Please, let's try to ship all gifts by Friday, December 17th. Gifts DO NOT have to be purchased. Feel free to be creative and create or craft a gift. If you do intend on purchasing a gift, let’s try to keep it in the $20 range.
5. Don't be "that guy". If you participate and are assigned as someone's Secret Santa, don't leave them without a gift. Please be prepared to participate if you e-mail me. That being said, bad things do happen, so if you have to drop out for some reason, please let me know so arrangements can be made.
6. Registration requirements: With personal information being handed out, there is no choice but to keep this somewhat secure. The threshold that was decided on in years past was a minimum of 500 posts AND/OR 2 years account activity. Should you not meet these requirements but still want to participate, please post in this thread and have someone vouch for you.

14. What is your favorite Christmas candy/treat? Chocolate peppermint bark You know, the kind at Williams Sonoma. But it cost too damn much to rationalize buying it. Like $5 for a tiny chunk. So you don’t. But you wish you did. And every time you go in there you slowly walk by the tins of it. You pick it up lovingly and turn it over and look at the price and put it back down. You tell yourself you are saving for a new car 🚗 and don’t need it. And you slowly walk away. Occasionally glancing back at it.
15. Is there anything people should not get you? Guns with ammo

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
