Secret Santa is here!

chickengrandma-2008 — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:24:32 GMT

YO HO HO!! It's that time again! Come and join the fun.

If you'd like to join in you need to message me with your FHG ID, your proper name, your address, the sort of things you like and the sort of things you don't like.

The gifts can be bought or homemade and should have a value of around £5.

You have until the 25th November to decide whether you want to put your name down because after that date the list will close.

All the names will go into a hat and be randomly picked to decide who you send to, and over the couple of days after 25th I will message everyone with the name of the *lucky* person who will receive a gift from you.

DON'T post your gift off before the 15th or 16th December in the assumption that your person will pop it under their tree and wait until the clock strikes 12 on Christmas eve to open their scrumptious looking parcel.

You're not that daft!!!! You know full well as soon as it leaves the postman's cold clammy hands that they'll rip into it with great eagerness, but it's not really in the spirit of Christmas to hide razor blades and barbed wire in the sparkly paper, so hang on to that parcel for as long as you can. (Make the greedy things think they're not getting anything!)

After Christmas you can come and show us a photo of what you received and try to guess who your Secret Santa was.

So, there you have it, it's usually a lot of fun, especially with some of the daft bats on here (no need to name names, we ALL know who they are!!) so if you want a piece of the action send your details to me in a message.

I'll update the list on here every so often so you can satisfy yourself that you are on it.

Happy Christmas.XX.

Can I suggest that if folks put "From FHG secret santa" on the outside of the parcel, it might mean that parcels don't get opened by accident as folks don't realise what it is.

Also remember that some folks are in more than one secret santa, so it does help if you can include "FHG".
