I'm taking over for CMayna for the Dirty Santa/White Elephant StangFix exchange this year. This will give him a break from knowing who is his gift-giver. You can call me the Dirty Ol' Santa if you like.
Now then...here are the rules. Gifts are normally valued at $20 or less. The one exception is whoever is my giver, and that person must provide something actually useful (a new Snap-on 128" wide tool box, for example). A white elephant gift is something that should cost the recipient more grief than the giver. Although very young children (maybe teenagers too!) are ideal white elephant gifts, the post office frowns on sending those items. International participation is encouraged, particularly for those folks down under that are going to be suffering a Christmas Summer.
Those who wish to participate must enter by Monday midnight, Nov. 24. Please PM me with your StangFix name, your real name, your address, phone number, date of birth, social security number, and credit card number (expiration date and security code as well) and whether you prefer an aisle or window seat. I'll post who is participating on a daily basis. Shortly after Nov. 24, I'll toss all of the names into a hat, and draw the list, making sure no one has the same partner as in year's past. I'll PM each of the givers with their recipient's name and address.
If you sign up, you are obligated to send a gift, so if you don't follow through, you will receive a copy of the Curse of Midlife. That's something you really really don't want to have.
Okay, then...let the games begin! Who's in?
