Roughly 106... I say roughly because amdskip and I have to go and weed out some of the entries now. Be patient with us and we'll get it done asap. :)

Was expecting a higher number but we beat last year still. :D

Jen, Matt and I have decided to not let you participate in secret santa. I do not wish to debate about this as it is a waste of time. You did not fill out the required information because you only wish to send a gift and not receive. That is a great thing and all but that is not the object of a secret santa gift exchange. I'm sorry you are not participating.

Jeff and Matt


looks like santa is being mean this year , doesnt wish to have a helper


maybe is grinch instead?

Look... Last year you refused to have a gift sent to you. Jeff gave you alternatives if you really didn't want to receive a gift but you turned them down. You won't even let someone donate $20 to Red Cross, or somewhere else, in your name. (which I thought was a great idea) You wanted nothing to do with it. You also barely filled out the form.

Like Jeff said, it's nice that you want to give someone a gift and not receive anything, but it's not really the point of Secret Santa. The point of AT's SS is to give to and receive from members of this forum that you most likely don't know in real life.

Apparantly, you want to take the joy away from someone who wants to send something out. For me last year, that was the best part. It was awesome seeing someone post about the gift they received and saying thanks.

So to me, it looks like you want to ruin that part of Secret Santa for someone... so who's the Grinch?

End of discussion.

Since I listed Michael Bolton as one of my dislikes, to whomever my SS is, don't get me the Office Space DVD, I already have it. Just a little heads up is all. :)

I think they make a point. What's the point in a SS if you're not going to be willing to receive? This isn't a charity, it's a fun game. To not only see what you get, but also the fun in sending something whacky or fun to somebody else.

I sent Jen a gift last year, a $20 donation in her name to Toys-for-Tots!

She did NOT send her secret santa a gift last year. Because that person did not recieve anything, they did not feel like sending me a gift.

Danman sent my gift out last year , contact him to validate this claim.

The person that the gift certificate was sent to was Lizabath never to you. She is the one who failed to send to you.


All i wanted was to give a gift , not to recieve anything in return . I made that clear to Amdskip and to Danman.
