It’s time for the TCC Secret Santa!
For those who do not know what a Secret Santa is: Those who want to participate will be given the name of another TCC Member who also agrees to participate. Each participant sends a gift of cards to the person whose name they are given. In turn, the first participant receives a gift from another participating Member.
Here are the guidelines for anyone who wants to participate:
1) Members who would like to participate should send me a PM with the following information: (1) Name and address (2) Collecting interests (which I will pass on verbatim to your Santa) and (3) a general idea of what they may have to give (that way I can avoid matching up a football collector with someone who only has baseball available)
2) Also, please post your participation in the thread.
3) The deadline for signing up will be Sunday, December 2.
4) After the deadline, I will match up names & send out PMs to each member letting them know the name, address & collecting interest of the member they are to send their gift out to.
5) If you see someone in the thread who you feel you have something they would really appreciate, feel free to let me know & I’ll try my best to match you up.
6) Gifts can be whatever you like to send (after all, it is a “gift”), but hopefully, you can tailor it to the recipient’s collecting interests.
7) There is no minimum or maximum value to be placed on the gift. We have members of all different ages and economic circumstances, & I would prefer not to exclude anyone just because they cannot afford a “minimum” value.
8) Participating Members will have until Thursday, December 20 to send out their gifts.
9) Once you send out your gift, please PM me letting me know you have done so. That way I can keep track of everything.
10) Once you receive your gift, please post what you received in this thread. I think that everyone would be pleased to see what other Members received.
11) Anyone who signs up to participate agrees to fulfill their obligation to the person whose name is given to them. Even though it is better to give than to receive, it would be pretty sad to send something & then be left out.
12) Members who are on restrictions are not eligible to participate (sorry)
I’m sure that I’ve not covered everything in this post, so if you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the thread so I can share the answers with everyone.
Let’s have some fun, Santas!!

Yeah, a 2 day turn around is nice. Wish that would happen when tax season comes around. I know I got some other stuff lying around that I was supposed to send but couldn't find them.
Sorry for the delays but my secret santa gift is now in the mail!
My gift was mailed yesterday.
I received my package from Santa today, and I am totally blown away.

It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS...
Here's what Santa delivered:

Thank you Santa Chris!
Wow, very sweet gift! That Habs program is cool
Glad you liked them Brian, sorry I couldn't find my stash of more to choose from but sent what I could. I would advise to pass on trying the 20 year old candy cane however. Happy Holidays!

Thanks again Santa Chris!
Still no package on my end
Any word from my Santa?
I snt a PM without response yet.
Anyone else not receive their gift?
So, any word on who my Santa was? I've still yet to receive anything, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, this is why I stopped doing this for a while.
I have sent 2 PMs to your Secret Santa asking for updates, and got nothing back.
Your Santa was droubaysports.
Maybe having some strict requirements for joining, and dishing out some MSF tags on those who don't send, would help with this issue.
Brian, please send me the address of anyone who did not get anything and I will put a little something together for them.
I appreciate the thought, guys. But really, no gift needed. If anything, I was just annoyed by the lack of individual follow-through. Accepting a gift knowing that you're supposed to send one out and not doing one isn't too cool.
I really do appreciate the offer, though!
