I think we're going to relegated to the Island of Misfit Toys :sorry:

Because nobody wants a Kenny in the box.

 

:sorry:

 

Thanks for the list, we still have a few days left before the Big Day.. but I do fear for a few.... more to come.

 

Backup Santas are in place if need be.

Can we have a thread where we anonymously comment on whether we are happy(or want to person_without_enough_empathy) with what we got and only the sender knows who we are talking about??

 

I think it would be fun and Ze-man would also get a chuckle because he knows who the sender was.

 

I haven't got mine so its not because I want to person_without_enough_empathy about it (yet :grin: ) rather its my first time participating and I really need to know if I measured up or do I need to step up my game next year.

 

Greggy seems like the perfect guy to start this thread.

I dont like this idea at all. I think its sets a nasty precedent. Secret Santa is for fun and if anyone about their gift openly...well....they are a boor. Any complaints should be handled privately to avoid any miscommunications or raw feelings.

In many cases, it may not be possible for someone to get something directly on your "santa's" want list. I experienced this problem. I tried to do the best I could in putting some thought into the gift I bought. I'd like to think I did well, but if I didn't, I certainly wouldn't want it publicized on the boards.

 

Posting your displeasure in public could get nasty very quickly (not saying that would be the case with me), but not a good idea.

Nothing arrived for me either. The package for my forumite was sent and received safely in Iraq :banana:

I agree. Not cool. Not in line with the spirit of this gift exchange. Whatever my secret santa sent, I'll be truly grateful. It's about sharing and connecting with other people who love comics. I know you didn't mean it in a mean spirited way, but this is not a good idea.

 

Now if this were a festivus gift exchange. hm

Couldn't agree more...a thread (or even a PM) to complain about your "gift" is in extremely poor taste and certainly the furthest thing from the intent and purpose of this exchange which is fun and sharing the Christmas spirit with other comic lovers. :sumo:

Juststopit.DoyouWANTastrike?, I'm excluded from this elite list now! :mad:

 

However, here's my final rant

 

1) Box isn't wrapped - Sic him Ze

 

2) Box is too damn big

 

3) Box's description isn't what I asked for

 

Thanks, Dork :baiting:

 

Were we supposed to wrap our present? ooops, forgot.

Yes, but I have to retract my unwrapped gift whine because that was just the outer box that wasn't wrapped. :sumo:

I think most people put a lot of thought into the gifts that were sent.I know I did.After all isnt this about the spirit of giving ?

Well, I sent out the necessary inquiry PM's and will hopefully have some good news for many of you.

 

If not we have those back up Santa's ready and willing to ship out a belated gift.

 

More to come.

 

And while I can see that Subliminal didn't mean any harm with his suggestion, I agree.. we should just keep the present complaining to a minimum, except for Greggy because he is the only fully licensed complainer here.

Dear Santa,

 

All I want for Christmas is a Flee Marquette-esque dancing greggy-grinch that we can enjoy for Christmas in perpetuity. A dancing greggy-scrooge would also be acceptable. Your friend,

 

--Sean.

No shill reading yet, still trying to get through my first inbox.

 

:busy:

You will feel like a fool after you read my PM :whistle:

 

I feel like a fool when I read your posts

I feel like getting another lobotomy when I read your posts. (shrug)
