^ thinking about it now, yeah, i guess it'll be hard for the elves to assign 2 to 3 people to each participant... and not everyone might be willing to send 2 to 3 cards. hmmm...

Ho Ho Ho, Mylo Xyloto:lol:!!!!! Count me in Again!!!!

I'll talk about this with Alison, but we'll definitely need back up secret santas anyway so if you're willing to send more than 1 card, let us know when we ask you for your info :)

Yeah, count me in again!

I think assigning more than one SS per person would be rather tricky - it's already quite difficult to keep track of who's sending to who. But we do try to cover every eventuality and we always have a small group of Coldplayers who step in and send extra cards if needed.

 

The system we have works really well as long as everyone does the following:

 

* Check your PM's regularly once you have signed up

* Follow your instructions to the letter and keep in contact with the elves!

Sign me up! It will be my third year! :D

I'm in!:)

I'm really excited about this!

:D

I wanted to do it last year but things fell through.

I was suprised that I sent my card to one person, but I received a card from someone else. I did not expect that. I will do it again next year.

This sounds very nice! :D

But how does this work exactly? :s How do we know who is the person whom we should send the card?

When the time comes, Santa's elves will send PMs to everyone involved and let them know who they will send a card to. It won't be for awhile though.

yeah, and in around two weeks we'll start to receive PM's with the info we need :)

Thank you so much for the answers! :)

 

Count me in :D

Great. I am already thinking about what card to send :rolleyes:

I'll make a nice card. Last year, I received a card from the girl I had sent a card to. I was amazed. Normally you receive a card from somebody else. Several coldplayers didn't receive any card, to their dismay. I'll participate again this year because it's fun.

She probably sent you a card because you sent her one. I received mine in February eventhough the person sent it in Nov.

That's right ! I received a card from her but not from the person that had to send me one. I'll try again this year. The previous years it was fine. People that are not sure to send a card shouldn't participate if they don't have time for it.

the poll will be closed tomorrow and after that we'll let you know about the next steps :elf:

Please count me in!!!!:)

ME TOO! I love this project! :dance:

I love this project too!! But it will be the first time, I will participate. I don't know if I will send a card with a gift from France. I don't know for the moment.

Is it still possible to include me in the list? I would like to join this..

Yeah, we'll ask for PMs with the info so anyone can join. This was just to see how many people would be part of it

I felt like such a party pooper choosing no. :disappointed:

 

</3
