It has nothing to do with the state of the world or any other cause du jour.....
Santa, along with the forum, is dead. If you got 9 people signed up, you managed to get every current forum member.
Harumpfff......

HaHa. That's the best you can do?
1) Not all of us are living large. Has nothing to do with Lynne's list.
2) The gift exchange has become, for all practical purposes a chick flik. I have been on board since it started. We used to exchange climbing stuff. The last time I had a male giftee was Kovar, maybe 4 years ago? Never had a male gifter.
It has run it's course.

Wow, well if yo signed up Russ that would be 10. But johntp may be right as well as russ. Things change. I do need to say that over 50% of the gifts I have received were from guys and the gifts were awesome. Maybe the matching of participants needs work.
Whatever, i love the campfire, always will. lynnie

While we may not be pushing the limits of giftyness this year I can assure you that there are far more than five sign-ups.
Come on! It's Christmas!
Let's have some fun. and forget all the other nonsense that is riddling the world.
I know that the gifts I send and receive and the ones I see posted each year are always exciting and worth the tiny effort involved.
The last day to join is Friday at midnight PST.

My guy:gal gifter ratio is 1:1 for the past four years. Nice balance. All creative unique items thoughtfully chosen. Some used, some new, some handmade. Sign up n give the elves some work.

Tonight the lights are up (think Clark Griswold) the kiddos are singing "You're a mean one Mr.Grinch', and the fire place is not smoking. Deck the halls and do something unexpected (and nice) for cryin' out loud....it's the season, Christmas. :)

Okay, I'm in the pool again. Mostly to support the neebster and Lynne. My supplies are mostly depleted but what the hay, I'll do what I can. I'm fresh out of doilies.
Cheers to all; jump in the pool!
edit: I forgot, Tony Yeary sent me some amazing beer glasses with Geographical Survey marks early in the game.

hey there, say, johntp!!! one of my favorite guys, of the ol' climbing buddies, here...
thanks for jumping in...
you know... gifts, no matter how simple, CAN make folks smile...
just the thought, that someone too time, not so much, what it is...
as, it DOES take time...
and--time is precious...
but then...
so are folks in and around, our circle of daily life,
:)
i remember my first year, doing this... was not able to do much,
but they encouraged me to join in, >:D<

johntp, you have always been excessively over the top in generosity when it comes to fundraisers or Secret Santa. Dude you an honored member of the campfire, keep it simple and just receive the love from all of us. Cheers, lynnie
