I know this a little last minute but it might be fun. We could put a $ cap on the gifts ($20?) and have a deadline of sending it in the mail by Dec 23 (so it might be delivered a little after Christmas but so what).

Re: Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?

To get this show on the road, I think we should close this out by end of day. Are we all agreed?

Ive gotten info for the following people:

MSCJLK
Fran M
Lisa Rose
RichsBride

That makes 10 people including me. Anyone else? Send me your personal info (name, address, etc..) ASAP!

Re: Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?

I originally stated that I wanted to particpate but I think right now I'm so swamped. So I'm going to have to bail on this one. Sorry -- I'm just a bit stressed with all the stuff I still need to do before the holidays.

Re: Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?

Dont worry about it Stef...thanks for letting us know.

Since LIW never responded, Valenia has very sweetly offered to do the Santa distribution for us. Im sending her all your info right now so I can include myself in the Secret Santa game.

Here are the rules:

1. A gift is to be sent to your Secret Santa NO later than December 23, 2002 This means most of us will get the gift a day or two AFTER christmas so keep that in mind.

2.The gift should be approximately $20 in value.

3. Its a secret!! So keep it to yourself until next Monday!

Santas, start your engines...

Re: Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?

this is right up my alley, but I'm so swamped getting all our presents shipped to NY and packing (we're leaving on Friday) - I can't do it.

But its an awesome idea!

Re: Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?

I love secret presents. I just got my name this morning so I guess most of us know who we are buying for now.

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

Thanks Valencia! I just got mine! This is so fun!

Valenia Posted: Dec 17, 2002 10:56 AM

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

I literally just sent them, one at a time obviously, so some were written after others. If you don't have them in like 10 minutes then be concerned!

shamma Posted: Dec 17, 2002 12:09 PM

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

Oh so they are in email not forum mail...duh, I am off to check now...YIPEE

Sonicstef Posted: Dec 17, 2002 12:10 PM

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

I got mine! Now I have to think - what in the hell can I get you Secret Santee :P

Maybe we can post some generic questions that we all can answer to get a better idea?

Here is one:

Since the wedding is over, what activity has occupied your time since?

My answer: Catching up on home improvement and decorating projects that had fallen to the side while we were in wedding savings mode. I just bought some new furniture, Im trying to get ideas on how to best decorate our walls, windows, etc, making a list of home renovations we want to do this year.

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

*jumps up and down, b/c I am excited b/c I just checked my email and I have a name assignment. YIPPEE

Re: Ho Ho Ho!

Great idea Stef!

Well we just moved in to our new apartment and we are in the process of putting things up. We are rearranging everything differently and trying for new decorative ideas. I think everything we go shopping it is always something new for our home.
