One week. If you want to get in on this you need to SIGN UP NOW!

 

[Khrysty]

Oookay guys. The 11th is coming up on us really fast and we've got 42 people signed up already! We could always use more, though. Remember, you don't need to spend a lot of money to participate--it's the spirit of the season that's important! You can give posters, gecko-art, little handmade leo pins, neat objects you picked up at goodwill---get creative!

 

[Khrysty]

Up to 43--can we reach 50 by Friday?

We've only had one more person join since the last time I updated, but I wanted to bump the thread so that more people can see this before time runs out.

Please don't mind my incessant bumping over the next couple of days. I want everyone to have a chance to see this thread so we can make this the best Secret Santa exchange ever! :main_thumbsup:

Re-posting the rules so those who haven't seen this don't have to look for them

Secret Santa 2009

All members of GeckoForums are welcome--not just leopard gecko owners/breeders. Sign-ups close TODAY at 11:59 p.m. CST

------------------------------------------------------------------

<<<<<RULES>>>>>
-Anyone in the world can join and international members are encouraged to sign up.
-If you are under the age of 18....PLEASE make sure you have parental/guardian permission. (I don't know how to enforce this, but I am trusting you all to be honest)
-You ARE allowed to ask for a gecko*
-Remember everyone has a budget, so make your list as wide as can be, and be sure to add affordable things as well
-Everyone who participates WILL both send, and receive gifts. Failure to send out a Secret Santa present will have consequences.**


That’s all! Have fun and spread the word!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are able to send a gecko and still want to remain private, I will talk with the recipient to set up a time and date.

To Sign Up: Send Me, Khrysty, the following information (in a PM)***
• The name you wish to be known as and delivered to by your Secret Santa.
• The Address at which you wish to receive your parcel.
• Your Christmas wish list
• If you’re willing to send out of the U.S. and/or World Wide.
• Whether you can send anything "special" or expensive (incubators, expensive thermostats, custom items, etc)
• and last but not least, so I can make sure, everyone has a chance to receive what they want, if you'd be able to give a gecko.


Sign-ups close TODAY at 11:59 p.m. CST

------
* Please only ask for a gecko if you have a gecko family of less than 5. This way, each person who has a small collection stands a greater chance of receiving a gecko.
**There have been problems with people not receiving their gifts in the past. As this is incredibly unfair, this WILL NOT happen this year.
-Secret Santa gifts should be delivered to the recipient by the end of December, at the very latest.
-If the gift is going to be later than that, the sender should contact me so I can tell the recipient (or the sender may tell the recipient directly).
-If I’m not contacted by the sender, I will contact them.
-Failure to send a gift by February 1st, will result in the list of people who went back on their promise being posted as a thread on GeckoForums. These people will be excluded from any future exchanges.
***I will keep all personal information between you, your Secret Santa, and me.

Additional notes:
Some people have asked for specific morphs of leopard gecko, or for crested geckos, ball pythons, etc. If you can give one of these, I really hope you will sign up. I'd like to make sure everyone gets what they really want this season.

*bump*

There's only about 5 hours left to sign up!

 

[Khrysty]

'Bout 3 hours left...

 

[ElapidSVT]

woot. i'm in this year. what the heck!
last minute is my style anyway

 

[Khrysty]

OK guys...sign ups are officially closed. Look forward to a PM or two from me within the next couple of hours!

 

[Khrysty]

All the PMs have been sent. If you notice any errors (like...I accidentally sent you your own list..) let me know immediately so I can correct it.

 

[Khrysty]

Alright, here's the dealio on missing gifts:

If you haven't received yours yet, PM me to let me know--I told you I'm making good on these, so if your SS doesn't give you a gift by Feb 1 I WILL

If you haven't sent yours yet, LET ME KNOW THAT YOU INTEND TO SEND ONE. Some of you have, and I've notified the right people so you're good, take your time. Those of you who haven't let me know, do so soon so you don't get put on the naughty list!

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

^ Please, don't send me a gift. ^ Its not your fault, Khrysty!

 

[Khrysty]

That's fine if you don't want me to, I just feel a tad guilty for those of you who gave and didn't receive, ya know? I wouldn't want that to deter you from entering the exchange another time..

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

We're keeping score, right? So that means next time, unless it's a totally different random person, it shouldn't happen again. I don't fault you for someone elses shoddy morals.

 

[Khrysty]

We're TRYING to keep score. If people don't report a "bad" Santa, I can't do anything about it...
