Rules:

1) In the spirit of Christmas from every annoyed dad's perspective: have fun, no complaining.

2) Agree to send at least a pack of five cigars to another forum member who will be randomly selected for you, by December 20th. (We want the folks to receive their gift by Christmas.)

3) Post to this thread when you have shipped your present to the giftee. You need not include tracking number in this post, but please do keep the tracking information for the package you send.

4) Post to this thread when you have received your gift. When you open the gift, sharing a picture post of the contents would be appreciated as well.

5) You must have already completed a successful trade on this forum in order to sign up.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question - Wait, I can sign up for more than one Secret Santa?
Answer - Indeed! In order to facilitate the total destruction of their mailboxes, established forum members are allowed to sign up for an unbelievable 2 (count 'em, TWO!) Secret Santa trades. This means you will send and receive two Secret Santa gifts.

Question - I'm new and haven't completed a trade. Is there any way I can still join?
Answer - Sorry, no.

Question - Will I be receiving a gift from the person I'm sending to?
Answer - Nope! You'll be randomly matched to a sender and a recipient.

Question - A fiver is great and all, but can I send more?!
Answer - Absolutely, we all know that some folks here are excitable gifters and the generosity is welcome. But, don't feel obligated to gift more than you're able, a fiver is all that is required.

Question - Something awful has happened and I won't be able to send out a gift, what do I do?!
Answer - Life happens. Keep that in mind, try to be ready for the Secret Santa. But, if something unexpected does arise and you are absolutely unable to send your gift, get in touch with me immediately.

Question - It's December 25th and I have not received anything from my Secret Santa. What should I do?
Answer - If you do not receive your gift by December 25th, get in touch with me!

Question - I really don't like ________. How do I let my Secret Santa know what my likes and dislikes are?
Answer - Post here after you've sent me your information. Don't add a wishlist, just let folks know if there is something you won't smoke or a kind of cigar you prefer.

Question - How will matches be determined? Can I be paired with_______?
Answer - I'll either draw names from a hat or put everyone in a randomized generator. Everything will be random, no requests!

Alright..... Let's get this going!

All signed up

Ok now all I want to know is who I get to spank..........and I hope his azz is more taut than Z's.

does this mean the other secret santa is a no go?

Was there another one already going? I used the forum search thing and came up with diddly from 2016, but plenty from 2015.

Figured I'd pick up the mantle this year. Got it going early to give people plenty of time to join, prepare, and mail.

Also, gummy... JOIN! PREPARE!! And, after you've been matched, MAIL!!!!
