Don't you dare!!It always seems like my recipients disappear, don't post photos, etc. Maybe I should quit participating so I don't jinx it?

So, you drank all the tequilla and ate all the chocolates we sent by yourself huh? Hmmmmm? LOL, don't blame you, I would go crazy trying to organize something like that.This year was especially rough because of the host switch and general post office shenanigans plus me basically handling the whole sha-bang on my own- let me tell you, wrangling 40+ Secret Santas from all over the world is a full time job
Yeah Angie I still have that picture it sits along side the ones I have of Flash, Sooty and Smooch

Do you want some cheese with that whine?This year was especially rough because of the host switch and general post office shenanigans plus me basically handling the whole sha-bang on my own- let me tell you, wrangling 40+ Secret Santas from all over the world is a full time job :lol3: I will not let it deter me tho! I will continue to be your SS coordinator, but there will no Christmas in July:lol3:
:flailKatie knows I am kidding.
She listened to me whine non-stop when I used to organize it and was still game enough to take it on. :lol3:
no Christmas in JulyIt's very unfortunate that Meda and others have had a disappointing experience, but that's the nature of the internet I suppose. We have made our rules stricter over the last couple years and there are still folks who, for one reason or another, don't follow through, or that have life interfere, or whatever it is. There are many members that will be crazy active and then just disappear, and even long long long term members move on suddenly. I'm glad this will not prevent you from participating, Meda, because really, if you quit things after one bad experience, would any of us being doing anything?

I actually love doing it, mostly cause I'm very nosy, before I was coordinator, Karen used to torture me

There's still June, August, September...
All of those have a nice ring...
I highly recommend anyone being Katie's Secret Santa. You can post all kinds of things ("my recipient says she only wants llama related gifts"). She can't really say much back, since she is bound to the Secret Santa Coordinator's Code of Honor. I am not very devious, so teasing her was great fun. And she does only want llama related items.
ok, let me re-phrase, no Christmas in months not beginning with D :lol3:

I would GLADLY step up to coordinate a Christmas in July! Katie, you could just sit back and relax my dear!
I like the way you thinkThere's still June, August, September...
It is all I can do to afford Christmas in December. I will not be able to do in July or whatever month!
you may regret that :lol3:
Well, I got the SS package back today. I mailed it on Dec 17th, so I get it back 5 months later almost to the day. At least my girls are going to enjoy the cat treats. We checked and they have not passed the expiration date. My recipient missed out on a beautiful seashell jewel box.

You have to wonder why it took five months for it to be returned. At least you did get it back, and the treats are still okay to eat.
My recipient did not die as she has posted here in the past 5 months. I don't want to say who it was, but just that I have been in contact with Katie about this for the last 5 months.
Your recipient will probably be banned from participating in the future. I am sorry you had to go through this.
I sent my brother some Christmas gifts a few years back which he assured me he never received. In July of the following year they were returned to me by the post office with the box all broken open and taped back up again. I still have no idea where the box was for 8 months (November to July).
