If they are general questions about the raffle, I may be able to help you out in the interim... Send me a PM.

If they are questions about, what's for dinner, what I'm wearing, can I have feet pictures... IMMEDIATELY send me a PM. 

 Thanks Sledder responded. I'm just trying to figure out what to donate. Lunch first...

I'll keep prepping... just in case.

 @HolidayHam

You were delicious. 

Just in case anyone is wondering where your packages are...

If my streak continues I will be the Secret Santa for someone who owns multiple high grade copies of every single golden and silver age key. 

Done

I'm sure everyone here has provided extremely detailed and specific ideas for the kind of gifts they would like to receive.   

Because you wouldn't want to leave your poor Secret Santa in the lurch with no idea at all what to get for you that you would like, or might already have?

Right?

Right?  

Just under a week left to join the festivities.
Signup ends this coming Friday at 10pm eastern

And make sure you fill out the form on page 1 and PM it to me to "officially" join in.... no late comers this year, and without the form, I cannot match you up.

That's why I do all he bad things when I'm awake, since you are probably sleeping then.

Unfortunately... I also know when you're awake. 

Just a reminder...

Did it sneak up on you too?

Welcome to the 2023 CGC Chat Boards Gift Exchange

For those who are new to the program or otherwise have a very bad memory, the idea is simple. Basically you will give a gift to a fellow board member, and also receive a gift yourself from a different boardie. This way, each person will get to interact with two fellow boardies in the Gift Exchange Program. It does not matter what seasonal Holiday you celebrate, what creed or religion you claim, this Gift Exchange is more about giving and getting a gift than celebrating a specific holiday. We are celebrating comics and our community. Times may currently be tough for some, but it is worth pausing to recognize the importance the CGC community brings to each of you.

Some Details on the Gift Exchange Program

• How much should my gift be for? Up to you. There are people that send gifts that have values that are all over the place. $15-20? Sure. $50-$100? Sure. You are certainly welcome to send more expensive gifts, but the gift should be worth at least $15. Lots of people just give something from their own collection, so the cost is negligible.

• Does my gift have to be new? No

• Does it have to be comic related? Yes

• Am I supposed to sign who my gift was from? Yes, you should - your identity is only secret till they open their gift.

• Do I have to wrap my gift in a Holiday fashion? Yes. Extra points for wrapping it in the Sunday Comics

• Am I supposed to wait until Christmas to open my gift? Yes, unless you celebrate another holiday in which case, follow your holiday gift opening tradition.

• How will I know who I am Santa for? You will receive a PM with your recipients details once sign up is over.

• When is sign up over? Friday, November 17th at 10pm (ET)
  PMs with your Secret Santa information will be sent out the very next day. Everyone who signs up will have their PM by Saturday night (11/18).
  This gives everyone 1 full month plus to shop, wrap, and ship. It seems like a long time, but it goes quickly and shipping, obviously, takes longer over the Holiday season... so please, if you sign-up, DO NOT DELAY!!!

• What if I miss sign up but want to participate? Sorry. No late sign-ups will be accepted this year. If you know a board member who you think would like to participate, contact them asap so they do not miss the deadline.

• What if I never receive my gift? There will be people who will be assigned as a back up Santa. Everyone who signs up will get a gift... sooner or later.

• Who is eligible to participate?  Anyone who signed up to be a member of this community on or before July 25, 2023 with a current post count of at least 40 is eligible for participation in the Gift Exchange
  (For those who do not meet the above criteria, we, as a community, apologize. Hang-in there and be active... next year will be worth the wait.)

• What and when is the Holiday Raffle? This year, all raffle information will be kept completely separate from the Gift Exchange. There will be a separate thread created for the 2023 Holiday Raffle sometime after the Gift Exchange match-ups have been PM'd. (late Nov./early Dec.)
  Again this year, @The Sledder has graciously volunteered their time to organize and orchestrate the Holiday Raffle.
  Please do not add any Raffle information to the Gift Exchange form below thinking I've forgotten/neglected to add it... be patient and make all Raffle replies and inquiries in those upcoming threads.

If you sign up, please follow through and don't wait until after the fact to fulfill your duties. 
The rules are simple, but need to be followed to make sure everyone who signs up gets a present for the Holiday.

To officially "sign-up", fill out the questions below, then PM this info (cut and paste fashion) to me... HollyJollyOne <---- linked here 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Please make sure to create the PM with your BOARD NAME AND 2023 as the title.**

CGC Board name:

Real name:

Mailing address:

Collecting preferences (what you might like to receive):

Who were you Santa for last year:

Who was your Santa last year:

Would you be willing to ship to board members outside of your country (i.e. Are you willing to ship Internationally)?

Would you be willing to be a back up Santa in case someone can not/does not follow through?

If you are willing to be a back up Santa, are you willing to ship Internationally?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's all there is to it!

Just a reminder. Please do not use a prior years PM to submit this years form. Just create a NEW PM to me with the proper "2023" header to avoid any confusion. Also, do not edit your PM and expect me to see the changes on your form. PMs do not receive notifications for edits so unless I read it again and again I may never see the changes. If you absolutely need to correct a mistake or add information before the deadline for form submission on Friday, November 18th, just make a separate comment and bump the original PM.

Happy Holidays everyone!
