Thoughts about Secret Santa.

The Christmas swap was extremely successful - thanks to you all for helping to make it so. Just one gift is unaccounted for, but my best efforts have not been good enough to get in touch with joey who should have received it.
A couple of people took no notice of the "one item" instruction, but that has been a better result than in previous years!
I have decided that a personal birthday swap is unworkable. When we have tried in the past, too many people have been disappointed. It is difficult to organise at the same time as the Christmas swap, and a year is too long for many people's memories!
As the exchange to celebrate Cute's 7th Birthday last July was very successful, I think it would be a good idea to repeat this for the 8th Birthday. More information about this sometime in May.
Again, thanks to you all for making it work and entering into the spirit of it all so enthusiastically!
