This is the first time I have heard of this Secret Santa but since I no nothing about the computer and how this site works except for answering questions and posting comments I better not commit. Sounds like fun though because I do like Santa. Juanita

It isn't difficult! If you join, you will be given the details of one other cutie to send a secret gift to. Someone else will send a gift to you. We all post pictures here when we receive our gifts.

Thanks to Meganne's encourgement I just sent my e-mail to CuteSecretSanta@yahoo.com. I was not sure I could not live up to the other cuties amazing surprises and was glad to read the new rule about one thing and not trying to out cute another cutie so I decided to join in the fun. Other cuties should sure consider it too!

Well done and welcome to the fun.
As long as everyone sticks to the rules there should be no need for anyone to feel inadequate.

A gift from the heart is all the more worthy because someone actually made it, with heart.
Hugs and roses, Meganne
by shirlener88 03 Jun 2011
Glad you joined in - you will love how it brings you closer to the group - it isn't about what you send - but that you do it from the heart.

And whether you'd like a religious Christmas gift or non-religious (which was a good idea as we don't all follow the same path) :)

I was always under the impression Christmas in July was started In Australia so we could enjoy the traditonal Christmas meals in the cold weather but without all the pressure of buying presents etc .I'm sure some of the resorts & hotels in the Blue Mountains were responsible for this ,so they could fill up empty rooms during the winter.Hot Christmas meals on 40C days are not all that pleasant.

Probably did, but who cares where it started, like any great idea it is now known worldwide and isn't it such fun that we adults get to have a Christmas all to ourselves and get to feel like little kids again? Whoopeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I am all excited. I can't wait to see who my recipient is and think up something I can make for his/her gift.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingles all the way
Oh what fun I’d love to ride in a one horse open sleigh- eigh....

54!

Wow! 54 is excellent. Have you decided what date to make the cut-off, so I know when to stop bringing this to the top? I don't want to drive everyone nuts with it if they've already seen it 53,000 times :) Wouldn't it be great if we could have a special message scrolling across the top for a week or so to make sure people are seeing it. Still, someone for sure would still miss it. Just dreaming!

Since this is my first year to participate, do we send an email to let you know when we have mailed our SS gift to our recipient? And how about when we receive our gift? Pics would be great too. Nan

Hi Nan
Send me an email to show that you have mailed the gift. Please don't post pictures until I start a thread on or about 25th July.

Just by accident I came across this secret things; I assume
it is too late to join. Is my assumption correct that we
play angel or Santa and make a present for another cutie
somewhere in the world? It sounds good to me - maybe I'll
have a chance next year in July??? Yes, if it is cold enough
now in Australia Santa should start there....have fun! Maria
