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.

I hope it all goes ok this year, I've been awake since six and up at 7 'cos I knew something was wrong. I've messaged someone to swap (which they're happy with) so I just hope everyone else is right. Hubby wasn't a lot of help this morning 'cos he's on the happy pills and so the more frustrated and in a muddle I got, the more he giggled!!
30-11-2014 10:11 AM
I am happy. Planning now.:)

Might need to borrow the happy pills for my OH CG he could do with them, seriously thank you for doing this, both of you.

May I just ask, when should we be posting our prezzies?
02-12-2014 9:12 AM
I usually say about the 15th ed, but I suppose if you can't make that, then earlier is better than later as I've noticed parcels seem to be taking longer these days. Or is that just me? As long as it's clearly marked that it's the FHG Secret Santa present, then it's up to the recipient to keep it until Christmas.
02-12-2014 2:22 PM
Thanks CG, I have noticed that as well.
02-12-2014 7:20 PM

I think most of us wait to find out our victim before we make/buy so posting about the 15th sounds good to me
