Last year, around this time, we decided we would do a secret santa gift exchange for VJ members in the Canada forum. For those of you who weren't members yet, this is how it went:

- If you are interested in taking part, you just post in this thread to say you are interested.

- Once we have everyone - I will ask you to send me your address (only two people will get this information - me and your secret santa).

- Once we have all the names and addresses, I randomly match people up and email them the information on their receipient.

- About 2 weeks before Christmas you mail your gift to your receipient.

Anyone interested this year?

Sounds good to me!!

Karen

And an eggplant.

My husband is a bit iffy about giving out our address to online buddies, but I'm working on him! I may or may not be in, depending how much I can convince the hubster that the friendly Canadian VJ'ers don't bite.

We're a group of Canadians in committed relationships, spending countless months of our lives JUST to make sure we do everything by the book, legally and honestly.

I don't think we're the criminal types!

(Not that I blame your hubby for being concerned in this day and age, mind you. Just sayin'...)
