Hosts and Admins, please forgive me fo posting in several boards, but I want to make sure as many as possible see this!
Every year we have a secret Santa - for the last few years I have organised it. If you want to take part, please pm me with your real name, address, any particular like/dislikes and whether you would like a Santee in your own country or continent or whether you are willing to send anywhere. (I try to make sure that if you are willing to send "abroad", your Santa is from "abroad")
(Can we make Heaven the main thread?)
Once you have been allocagted a Santee, you will need to purchase a gift to the value of £5, and send it so that, if possible, it arrives before Christmas.
This is why I am starting now! The list will be open until the end of the first week of November, when I will arrang Santa/Santee pairings.
So, if you want to take part, please pm me!

No, sorry, this kind of thing is very much an All Saints thread, and always has been, so I have closed the Heaven one and redirected people to this one if they want to post to it.

From experience, shippies can be a bit tardy in signing up, so I'm giving everyone until the end of the first week in November. I will then try and match people up and send out Santee details - and hopefully, most people will get a surprise Christmas present in time for Christmas - or certainly by New Year!
