The Holidays are just around the corner

I'm Angyl, Kinjo's physically challenged roommate and I'm in

Angyl

I'm in and just sent my PM. I was thinking, since there are so many people with different beliefs and such, maybe we can post what holiday we celebrate. May make it easier to get cards that are more suited for the person we are "assigned". *shrugs* Just a thought.

By all means, if anyone feels that they need to reveal their particular religious preference, then by all means do so!! This is a holiday exchange, but in no means do I want anyone to be offended or uncomfortable. I posted earlier about all the "requests" I was getting, but if it has to do w/ religius beliefs feel free to PM me and I can let your "secret santa" know what you prefer. Otherwise, I encourage everyone to send a general holiday greeting or New Years Wish. This way nobody gets offended. I particularly like cards that say something like:
Peace for the new year
Happy Holidays
Joy to the World

You all get the idea!!! Thanks guys!!

I just wanted to say on behalf of all of us, Thank You. It sounds like this is turning out to be a lot of work, and you sure don't need to be apologetic for asking us all to do stuff too! ESPECIALLY when it's information that helps us too!!

Thanks for ALL the work you're putting in to make all of our holidays more fun, exciting, and interesting! :tounge2:

Hey LDG, no thanks necessary!! I volunteered to do this because I love TCS and all the people here! And I know there are a lot of newer people in the past few months and I didn't think they'd want to tackle this task!! I'm having fun doing it, I just want to keep it as easy as I can for myself with the help of all of you!


I'm going to merge this thread in w/ the Secret Santa one now. I just wanted to make sure about the PM's with everyone but I don't want another Santa thread to emerge, so I'm going to merge it in now and people can just read that one for any updates.

Thanks!!

I'm merging the PM boxes thread into this one since its relevant to Secret Santa and its starting its own "life" w/ Secret Santa stuff.

I'm not of any religion, but even if I was, I'd still be delighted to receive a card from my 'secret santa' showing their religion/beliefs. To me, it just adds to the wonderful diversity we have here at TCS.

Ok, we have one week left to sign up, so if you haven't already go ahead and send me that PM.

The sign ups have slowed down tremendously. I've only gotten one or two since last Monday.

I am going to start the final list and assigning people this weekend and will be PM'ing each of you starting on Tuesday. PLEASE be sure to check your PM's next week, I won't do all in one day, but will definitly have it all done by Friday.

Thanks!

Daniela:

After we receive our PM, would you like us to confirm back to you?!

Thanks for doing ALL of this!

You are doing an increadible job and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

One reason the PM's may have slowed is that this thread was buried. Only been on the site a few days, but this is the first I've seen of it. It's a great idea, and you can count me in! My PM is on the way!

For you newbies:

At the top of the lounge is an *important* thread that says Our Super Duper Important Threads.
Click there, and the link to this secret santa thread is listed. That way you don't have to search for it.

I got your Pm's a loveless grin and Myste. You are all set.

Woops, forgot to answer Lhezza's question.

There is no reason to PM me in return once you get your assignment unless there is a problem or question. I'll know when you get it by using Message Tracking.

All I ask is that you guys go ahead and clean out your PM boxes so I don't get any that get kicked back. And be sure not to just clean out the in box but also message tracking and sent items from the beginning. You'll see the boxes in the PM section that allows you to choose these options. Any questions just pm me or one of the other mods and we'll help you out!

I have done all the secret santa assignments and PM'd each of you who signed up. Please check your PM boxes and be sure to contact me w/ any questions or problems.

Thanks to all of you for participating!! Its been fun for me pairing all of you up!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!

Woo Hoo! I'm soooo excited!! Someone's going to get a surprise all the way from Western Australia!!

Thank you very, very much for doing all this Daniela!

I'm excited too!
