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 once sent a Jewish Chronicle to a Rock Cake at the same time as sending as sending The Catholic Herald to a 4 X 2 and then stood back and laughed my head off as each accused the other of "Trying to be clever." There'd always been bad blood between them and they exchanged some very unchristian words!

Hoppity Wabbbit is very shy and doesn't want to 'come out' on this thread. They may have their reasons. You might want to give them a 'hug' because they feel lonely at times.

Not knowing who "Hoppity" is, I'd be shy about giving them a hug in case it turned out to be a bloke - I'd never live it down, and it could be taken the wrong way! ROTF!!!

i think our new rabbit may like to live beside the seaside, like myself and ilovetopatch. and i believe she is a female rabbit 🙂
15-11-2014 8:25 PM
If that's the case, she's obviously not short of a few bob or two - got a lot of doe. Geddit? No? Groan then, see if I care!
15-11-2014 8:40 PM
She might be but I wonder if she's bald too? I don't think she has a hare on her head!!

When will we know who to send to , i need time to plan
17-11-2014 6:38 PM
How long do you need pcc? I could do it at the end of November so you have two weeks, or I could do it a week before that so you have three weeks.
We haven't got as many this year as last. Some people tend to come in right at the last minute (or even later)
I'll put the list on later and ask if anyone has any preferences for when I do the draw.

The list hasn't changed from the last time I put it up. There is only half the number of people this year than last . Still we knew it was very quiet on here recently. But we'll still have fun. Rainy, I still need your details, don't forget m'dear.x.

Now, when would be the best time to do the draw. Would the 29th November be best, giving you 2 to 2.5 weeks to buy or make something, or has anybody any alternative suggestions?
17-11-2014 10:11 PM
That's ok with me. See what everyone else thinks.:)
17-11-2014 10:30 PM
Sounds fine to me too.
