Time to think about Secret Santa

[paradox3]

Well I was going to stay out of this but here goes.

@WC2Mods

Respectfully that is a very heavy handed post. For the life of me, I can't see why there is any need to step into a conflict when the participants have already resolved it.

I appreciate there can be a time delay with these things.

There was a likely a report that they were responding to and, frankly, Bette's shot at Jae merited it. I get that people don't like him, but he's not fair game or an open target. The values still apply in interactions with him.

Back to Secret Santa. Discussion of mod decisions is supposed to be done with a post in News & Business, not by derailing the thread where the mod action happened.

Keep in mind, JayneW, we are down to envelopes, no big parcels, just something small.

Good to know, thanks @Mrs.Anteater

Yes. Correct. My point is that Bette had already apologized by the time they arrived with the purple font.

Sorry my goof. Move it if you like.

 

[Jaebius]

I apologize.

Thank you for apologizing Bette, and of course your apology is accepted.

And with that, I'm gone from the Secret Santa thread. I do hope you all have the merriest of times

@Nancy - this is the 2024 thread

 

[Nancy]

I've been having time issues lately. It's going too fast and/or I'm living in the past. Anyway...count me in. Thanks.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Apologies everybody, the draw will happen today, a bit delayed.
@Mendalla - could you make that this thread sticks around for a bit, I had a hard time finding it again.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Actually, looking at it, there are three people who haven’t sent me their addresses. So the draw will happen once I hear from them.

It is stickied. You can find it at the top of the Relationships forum. (from Mendalla's admin account)

 

[JayneWonders]

Make that 2?

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Got two address confirmations, still waiting for one.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Still waiting for the last address- but with the postal services on strike, it will be delayed anyway.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

So, the Secret Santa post is out, everyone should now have someone’s address.
I think, nobody has anyone they had the year before, but I can’t guarantee from a few years back. The draw was completely random, I swear.
Please let us know on this thread when you send and get your mail- the postal strike and back up will add some excitement to this, maybe we can make bets who will be the last one?

 

[Northwind]

I'm looking forward to finding something for my person.

What are the parameters again? It needs to fit in an envelope. And....

 

[BetteTheRed]

...I think that's it...

 

[BetteTheRed]

Cow's milk and fragrance are the two things I can't be exposed to.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Secret Santa gift is packed - waiting doe the post to stop striking!
( I actually start thinking about Secret Santa gifts months ahead)

 

[Northwind]

I'm thinking of my gift. The mail strike is feeding my procrastination. Enough of that. I'll come up with something soon.

 

[KayTheCurler]

I'm thinking. Want a ride to a particular store in the next town over. My Cpap mask is still stuck in the mail system.
