Lots of Participation... ...for a total of 39 Secret Santas.
This is a lot more exciting than the exchange in my office.

Kona, Have a great holiday. Please keep in touch after you deploy as best you can.

Just mailed off my package. Someone will get an early Christmas this year from Secret Santa. Hope you like it. (just in case I don't get back on here until after Christmas)

Yeah, I'm heading home for Xmas soon so my present will go out a bit early. It will probably arrive after Xmas though.

Totally. Sometimes sites like this one are blocked from government computers, sometimes they are not. So we'll see. I have my laptop and there is an internet cafe. But given my expected work schedule and location (not gonna expect any deadrops around Southwest Asia), I haven't gotten involved in any ARGs this winter (and I'm really missing EE - so wish I was going to be around for it). I outprocess the last week of the month so I still have a few weeks stateside.
Just picked up my gift. Now I have to pack and ship (probably this weekend).

I'm trying to get a (slightly puzzley) postcard exchange going over here and thought perhaps people involved in the Secret Santa might be interested. The basics is having people send however many postcards they want to other people involved so everyone receives a few. You can use the same puzzle across each if you want, and they don't even need to be complex puzzles, just something simple is fine.
So if you think this sounds like a bit of fun or have some suggestions, jump on over to the other thread.

I'm shopping online this year to save walking. The fun thing is that I can see my package has shipped! I didn't hand wrap or pack it, but I think it will be really good anyway.
Happy Holidays everyone!

The totally awesome Jamesi has gifted me with a year's subscription to MacWorld! It will definitely come in handy.
Thanks (notso)Sekrit Santa!!!!
