Lolli,
I just want to add that while I can not 100% guarantee the non-weirdness of all participants, I can say pretty confidently that the current group is safe. About half are known to me personally to some extent (via climbing partnerships, Facelift participation, Bay Area OW crew, etc...) and the other half I have gone through and checked their Supertopo names and posts to verify that at least publicly on this forum, they are cool. We all may not agree on politics, religion, ethics or style but we are all good and decent humans from as far as I can tell. If you decide to join, only two people will ever know your address: me and your Secret Santa. This is also the second year I am doing this and the first year went off without a hitch and everyone had fun.
You are not the only person who has concerns over privacy and safety and I have had multiple conversations about this exact subject. However, everyone so far as chosen to participate. But I must admit that it saddens me that we live in times that people fear to play a fun holiday game such as this. I understand and empathize but it still makes me sad....
Regardless of your decision either way, I wish you happy holidays. =)
-Nick

I'm in after realizing that "Nick" is very likely SANTA HIMSELF.

Hey! Those five years in St. Louis were some sort of punishment for doing something awful (really awful) in a previous life. There is no other explanation.
I'm actually from Texas... I promise not to send any Texas-oriented political items as my gift. This is a promise.

Can I sign up? I want to send klimmer and his unlovely friends a missile, inside an ark, with a contrail. I'm sure they'll get a real bang out of it.

Crimpie-
Texas? St. Louis? You must have done many evil deeds in your past life.
Guess you made up for it being that you now reside in such a wonderfull place.

Ah. Now I get it Crimpie. A little slow today...
No, I didn't participate last year and don't intend to this year. Since I am the one organizing it and I am the one assigning Santas, it doesn't really seem right for me to send someone my name and address when they know, that I know, that they know, that I know.... You get it...
I am participating in a few other Santa games, so it's not like I am not having my own fun... =)

hey there say, lolli.... say, glad you stepped in here... say, not to worry if you are far-off, either....
all will work out in good time...
it is the heart and thought that count, as we all know...
and heartfelt thoughts, last a whole year, even IF it would take THAT long
for the gift exchange of yours, to arrive... :)
:) *hhhmn, oh my... and it may, at that, if we count the new year "year' change, as to dates... :))
good to have you take a try... just like me, i dared to take a try, too...
god bless... keep that smile...
:)
