Haha Jon, it's funny as much as it looks like i was asking about me,  I just wanted to know so I could send something to the good little boy on my list that he would enjoy.  But since it should be a surprise hehehe. Don't worry, no coal!

If you check back in some earlier post, that had been discussed. Basically, if someone had particular concerns about racial, religious, ethnic, or other practical concerns, they reported that to me. Otherwise- it's up to the Santa to pick, which really makes it a surprise for the recipient.

Unless I passed along specific notes for your recipient, it's up to you.

What we'd figured was it's not much of a surprise if you know what you'll get. Plus- I think it'll be neat for the giver to really put some thought into why a particular kit is special or fun, etc.

It's all about the giving!

Thanks for checking!

Yup, got mine, Cap'n. How do we let our Santas know what kits we like? Is it going to be like a scavenger hunt to see what they are interested in? lol

OK-

Glad to report that all emails have been sent except for one. (I'm PM'ing that person today- still need info.)

Please email me or post here when you receive the info on your recipient. I want to make sure no one gets left out!

Thanks so much to all who are involved. I hope everyone has a great time in giving- that is really the focus of the fun.

John...I got the information today.

 

Looking forward to going model hunting for my gift recipient!!

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.

Well, the deadline for sign up has passed.

Thanks to all of you who joined!

I'll be getting out information on who your recipient is over the next day or two, so polish up that sled and feed the reindeer, because you will be a Santa to someone!
