Howdy again Supertopo-ians!
It's that time of year again!
This year will be the Eighth Annual Supertopo Secret Santa Gift Exchange. The previous seven years have been a wonderful success. It is my personal goal to get even more of our community involved so please spread the word.

Supertopo Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2016 Rules
1. You must be a registered forum user of Supertopo.com BEFORE 11/8/2016. Sorry to you lurkers who want to participate, but this is to insure that we don't get any opportunists who want free stuff without reciprocation.
2. Having said that, if you do agree to participate you also acknowledge the fact that you may receive NOTHING back if your Secret Santa is a d#@&%ebag. We will, of course, mercilessly torment them on the forum but otherwise there is nothing to be done.
3. And, having said that, DON'T BE A JERK! Do not sign up if you are not FULLY COMMITTED to FULL PARTICIPATION.
4. The gift you give should cost around $20. Homemade gifts are encouraged, there is no price put on care, creativity and thoughtfulness. Also factor in for shipping, so your overall cost will be around $30 depending on what you bought and how expensive it is to ship.
5. Gifts MUST NOT BE NSFW!!! (NSFW= not safe for work) No porn, rubber appendages, lingerie, etc. These gifts may be opened in the presence of children so please keep that in mind. EVERYONE should plan on sending and receiving something clean and fun!
6. Once you receive your gift please post pics! Not only does it let your Secret Santa know the gift was received, but it lets the rest of us see just how cool your present is!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
1. YOU MUST EMAIL ME BY Wednesday 11/30/2016 if you wish to participate!
2. The correct email address to use is: supertoposanta (at) gmail (dot) com.
3. Do not send your notice of participation through SuperTopo!
4. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU ADD THE ABOVE EMAIL TO YOUR SPAM FILTER. Every year we have problems with my emails getting filtered through spam. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, when you email me to join ADD THE EMAIL TO YOUR SAFE SENDERS LIST!
5. In your e-mail you must give me your supertopo name, real name, shipping address and any other special considerations like gender/allergies/crazy phobias/etc.
6. Secret Santa Name Distribution emails will go out on 12/2/2016. In this email will be the name and address of who you need to send your gift to. Also, at the same time, someone else is getting your name and address so they can send you a gift!
7. You will now have TWO WEEKS to purchase or finish creating your gifts and get in the mail ON OR BEFORE 12/16/2016. This gives 9 days for shipping (hopefully enough to ensure timely delivery during the Holiday Rush.)
8. If you live OUTSIDE THE USA… We love to have international participation! But please bear in mind that postage can sometimes offer a bit of sticker shock and that extra time is required for your package to arrive. Please bear this in mind when you make the decision to participate.
9. You do NOT have to respond to this post to participate. Participation is 100% anonymous unless you choose to divulge your identity to your recipient yourself. Maybe you are Royal, or Bridwell, or Chris Mac, or etc., and wish to remain anonymous. Fine. However you MUST send an email to me supertoposanta (at) gmail (dot) com.
10. At the close of each year’s event ALL EMAIL ADDRESSES, NAMES, AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS ARE DESTROYED. No one uses your information and it is not sold or otherwise distributed. For this reason there is the statistical probability that you may have the same Secret Santa or recipient as you did in a previous year. This is part of the adventure. If however, you do receive a name you are not comfortable with please let me know. I cannot work miracles but will do all in my power to remedy the situation.
Let’s make this year’s SuperTopo Secret Santa Gift Exchange the biggest and best one ever!

Simon,
Thanks for taking on this responsibility again this year.
I am sure this means a lot to quite a few of us.
To open this present on Christmas Day is one of the highlights of my holiday.
Just to reiterate what Simon said in his original e mail, if you can't fully commit, don't sign up.
I have always received my gift, but a few times it has come after Christmas Day. I got a couple of e mails stating sorry, I'm traveling, can't afford shipping cost right now, waiting for next pay check, etc, etc.
I appreciate the gift, but it's kinda lame not having it arrive on time.
I will be continuing my yearly tradition of purchasing a gift for our organizer. Please contact me off site for that info.
