Passing the torch

Ok figured I'd better post this now while it's still early enough, lol.
I've had a Lot of fun doing the Secret Santa these past couple years. However last year it took a surprising amount of hours away from my family and I promised that I most likely wouldn't do it again this year. With Patrick out of town for a lot of October/November/December I know the kids would rather I spend more time with them than so much time doing this. I talked with them again and I really think I need to step down. Also some personal stuff going on that will take up some of my time. I feel kinda sad because I did enjoy running it and meeting new people and reconnecting with older members but I feel like this is what I need to do.
Whoever is chosen to run it this year, I'll be more than happy to help if they have any questions or anything. And I'll definitely participate...to be honest I kinda missed it, though I always thought it would be strange to pair myself up with someone
Anyway I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner, I kept going back and forth about it and finally decided I just needed to bite the bullet and post this, lol.
Thank you for the past couple of years and for letting me run it. I had a lot of fun.

I plan on making the process much more simple. Everyone will just pick a name from the following list and send that person an awesome present:
List:
LordOfChaos
I won't even put everyone on the naughty list. Promise.
