The Official Lounge Secret Santa 2020 - Partners revealed!!

Hello fellow Loungers!

Since there's interest to continue a long standing tradition of the SD Lounge Secret Santa, and nobody else is crazy enough to run it this year, I decided to step up and run things. I hope I do as good a job as others have done in the past!

If you're interested in participating, please post in this thread.

Since I know this is getting off the ground late, I'll keep signups open until 11/30. That gives you all two weeks to sign up, get your questionnaires filled out, etc. Don't delay so I can get names assigned.

The rules:

1. You must have been a SD member for at least 6 months with at least 1000 posts or 100 reps to participate. Sorry n00bs.
2. If you participate, you must send a gift to your assigned person. Don't be that guy that ruins the fun for the rest!
3. Please fill out your questionnaire as completely as possible! Being cryptic just makes it harder for your SS to shop for you.
4. There will be a $25 limit for purchases, plus any applicable shipping charges. We're slickdealers - we know how to find some bargains. Use the site to your advantage!
5. Please ship your gifts no later than December 15 to hopefully ensure Christmas delivery. I realize that's a tight window to shop, but we can do it!
6. When you ship, please use a service that has tracking (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc), and please PM me the tracking number after you've shipped you gift. If you send items directly from a vendor such as Amazon, that's fine, just again please PM me tracking numbers.
7. After you have signed up, please PM me the address where you want your gifts shipped.
8. Wrapping your gifts to your SS is optional.
9. These are different times this year. Remember to shop and ship as safely as possible!
10. Please PM me when you have received your gifts so I can ensure everyone got theirs!
11. If you will be unable to ship by Dec 15, please PM me as soon as possible.

Hi everyone. I guess I'm probably like most people and just not in the Christmas spirit. At all. Maybe I'll watch A Very Brady Christmas tonight.

It's been very tough for me this year to get in the spirit as well. I've decorated, listened to music, etc, and not much of it is working.

My kids, however, have plenty of spirit for all of us.

hug I think a lot of us are going through that this year.. between the repetition of just being home, working..isolating and the stresses around us it's harder for sure.
I hadn't put my big Christmas tree up in years since it's just me here but this year I thought it might help. I plug it in every morning and sit across from it while I work. I guess it helps a bit.
Even with as much as I love my dogs I find myself short tempered with them lately so I know things are wearing on me.

I'm committed to staying as isolated as possible and staying safe and know it will eventually pass.


Here, maybe some Christmas pics will help... (it was a slickdeal.. Walmart price mistake for $33 lol)

It's beautiful, Schoob. It's just me here too. Boyfriend doesn't live with me, and since he's a truck driver, he's on the road for weeks at a time. You inspired me to plug in my little tree tonight. I sure miss my Dad. Second Christmas without him. Sadwalk
