Remember, mail date is NOVEMBER 15th. I'm thinking of having the chat on December 18th. That gives the package 1 month to get to it's destination IF it was mailed on the last day.
I do encourage you to mail as soon as possible.

How do you know who and where to mail the gift to? How does the other person know who and where you are to send you a gift How do I PM Terri? Yes, I know I am thick as a brick!!! I don't want to do it wrong if I do it:(

LOL Sharet, you sound a lot like me!

oh, I've been trying to be better. Now that I have such a small extended family left, and they're so far away, and hubs #2 is NOT into any holiday at all, I look forward to my secret santas with anticipation. I save everything until Christmas eve, when I open 1 santa gift (cus, growing up and most of my life most of Christmas fell on Christmas eve), and open the rest Christmas morning - so I have suprises. Hubs doesnt min "giving" me gifts (paying!), as long as I pick them out, pick them up and wrap them lol. sharet

That may be wise on his part. The first year we were married my hub gave me a very complex expensive calculator and other equally unmemorable gifts, Bless his heart. I guess my shock showed because the next year he gave me really nice things. He must have asked my sister in law to help him pick them out. My favorite was the tweety bird sweater on turquoise. Loved it.

Starting now makes the fun last longer. These crazy people will make you laugh everyday. They are naughty, sometimes. Not me, though. I am always so good. :wink:

You will get your person's name on October 1. You will have all their info. Then get your package together and mail as soon as you can. We all know the mail system can be slow at times.
To PM me, just click on my name. you'll see where you can PM me.
