Passing the torch

49,665 5,114 September 21, 2011 at 05:55 AM in Travel & Vacations
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 laugh out loud 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. Smilie

Either you and/or Finzz, since it is a big job and she's been a helper the past few times. Seems like a 2 person job anyway.

Autumn, whatever is going on at home and otherwise I wish you the very best. You will be missed but hopefully you will sign up!
Duh. Of course I will. Presents. Stick Out Tongue And thanks Smilie

I don't know whether to be flattered or frightened that you have that pic.

Autumn,

i've never participated but have observed each year and think you did a great job (as did amanda before you), except for that whole TS never getting a gift thing

good luck with everything! hug
I was gonna be all "Thank you!" until I saw the Tiger part Mad (Thank you hug )
Quote from .DC. :
My SS gift from you still sits on my bedside table

But I think I really understand why you are not wanting to do this again...it's that you hate getting back to peoples PM's within 2 days vs.2 months later...isn't it???
2 days my foot...I got back to them within two hours Flex I started twitching towards the end laugh out loud j/k

And you still have it? Awww! hug
