This makes me feel like I should do a PSA for my Secret Santa - I have a unique last name but I am not the only one with this particular name combination. Thanks to a date years ago with someone who assumed incorrectly I discovered a person with the same name as me is really into airplanes. That is not me.
Having serious KIMO! Will be watching along this thread and definitely participating next year!
PSA for my secret santa: there are literally hundreds of young Irish men with the exact same first, middle, and last name as me. Google is not your friend.
160 postsā¦Iām not sure if you fall into lurker.
Secured my gift this morning! Thought I had a good line on something splashier last night, but the Ebay price skyrocketed out of my personal range.
I know it says 40 but how much are yāall spendingā¦
Nice try cops
My house Christmas morning:
Me - āNo. Seriously hon, this gift is from a girl at work who flirts with me. Definitely NOT some random internet guy from a chat room/cult whom Iāve never met or even spoken to in a real life conversation. HONEST!ā
Iām making mine with a crayon, everyone likes homemade better than luxury right?
I was going to mention something about a black hat, but held off. I have a green BCN, gray BCN, white NLU and one from TGJ in blue. Donāt really have a good black hat though. Oh well.
So I think mine arrived today. Either that or I did some major drunk shopping that I have no recollection of. As itās so far before Christmas right now (or Chanukah in my case), are we allowed to open? Or should we wait?
Totally your call. I would think people will start to trickle in this week with deal shopping and what not.
When you do open it be sure to post a picture and hopefully your Santa will reveal themselves.
Once we are all done I will post who had who.
Just curious, @HaveOuimet, how many participants did this garner?
I have no patience.
This. Is. Awesome. Reveal yourself awesome person!
In random related news, was out for dinner and drinks in Denver tonight and randomly met someone wearing a Pasatiempo hat at the bar, in town form CA. Probably havenāt seen Oasa gear in Denver before, so this was a strange surprise.
89 total. 5 international and 84 Americans.
If your profile is private/hidden/whatever please do your finest and make it accessible for a wee bit. Makes digging quite a bit tougher.
Not unlike my house yesterday afternoon.
ME: [coffee, iPad, many browser windows, notepad with names and gift ideas nearby]
WIFE: looks like youāre already shopping. Thanks honey! Who did you shop for first?
ME: um ā¦
Iām having mine shipped to me and then going to send closer to Christmas. Obviously I have to pay for shipping but was planning on putting a note in with mine to make a little more personal. Assuming thereās no issue with that? Not sure how this Secret Santa by mail is supposed to work
There are no rules here. Itās the refuge.
Would highly encourage DMāing for post-gift-receiving reveals. Helps keep everyone else in the dark as to who does/doesnāt have them.
