Secret Santa Discussion

[Sawyer]

I'd be willing to participate! I've never done one of these before.

[MeFryRice]

How have you not done one before?? We used to do them in Elementary school.

[Sawyer]

I went to a Catholic Elementary School. Christmas wasn't about presents, it was about God and birth of Jesus and blah blah blah blull****...

I hated that school.

LMAO!
Wait, isn't that what Christmas is actually supposed to be about?

Anyway, let's stay on topic with this one, try to limit it to if you're interested, how much you'd be willing to spend, stuff like that please.

[Sawyer]

Sorry!
$20 sounds fine to me. It probably won't break anyone's budget, but enough to maybe get something cool.

Actually..in fact Dec 25 is not the birthday of Jesus but the supposed birthday of Tammuz the Babylonian and Sumerian Sun God and son of Ishtar the 'mother of god'.
It is a pagan holiday of feasting, orgies, and gift giving called Saturnalia in Roman culture...and was adopted and 'sanctified' by the catholic church which has been subsequently 'swallowed whole' by other churches.....but thats not the topic here. LOL....

Sorry...I am a bit of a geek on the history of religious symbols and rituals. ;)

As for the secret satan...err santa....:D I think it could be fun. :)

i know one thing. im not pairing up with metalmannn!

im too afriad id end up with a creepy old guy at my door saying he has a present for me ;)

lmao! jay kay kurt!

im down!

[RotorNutFD3S]

That's the beauty of it, no one except me will know who is buying for who. :)

Cool, we need more people!!!

[MeFryRice]

Why don't we try it this way. Everyone buy their gifts and meet up at someone's house. At that time, numbers will be assigned to the presents and everyone will draw a number out of a hat. If you draw #4, then you get present that has #4 on it. Easy enough and no one will know who bought who what and there won't be any dispute. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Because in that method the gifts have to be universal, meaning someone undoubtedly is not going to like something they got, whereas if you know who you're buying for, the gift can actually mean something.
This method has never caused a dispute before. The forum we've been running it on has done so successfully for 3 years now with about 100 people participating.
