Are we doing the Christmas exchange again this year?  

Heck yea, what you want? I got a gift last year that I use all the time.

We need to stay at a $500.00 limit.

Frogtog, what have you been smoking?  $500?  

Oh just some of that Burley tobacco. :

Oh just some of that Burley tobacco. :

Or the same stuff Burley smokes that makes him nucking futs.

Hmm.  Burley tobacco. Hmm.

Count me in.  I organized it last year so we need to find someone who can do the honors this year.  Make it a secret santa so you dont know who got you, until you receive your gift.  I think last year we made it $30 maximum.  Several people went over the maximum though.  

I'm in. Redlinerobert, if you give me some tips on how to make it work then I would be willing to do some organizing if no one else does...

Ok, I guess if no one has any objections I will organize this thing.

If you would like to participate, send me a PM with your address. I will reply to your message within a certain time with someone else's address so you can get them a gift and send it to them. If you do not send me a PM, I can't put you on the list. Also, if you change your user name, please let me know in a PM so I can keep everything straight

Let's stick with the $30 maximum

Dates:

I must receive your PMs by December 5th to put them on the list.

I will PM back the name and address of your pairing by December 7th.

Gifts must be shipped by December 15th so they can reach their destinations in time.

I will make a thread on Christmas for members to post pictures of their gifts if they are willing and able.

Ok, so far we have:

I will update this list as I receive PMs and addresses.

Yup, I am in.  Count Gidget in too.

Alright, I've got a spreadsheet with info from everyone participating so far. I'm glad I can finally make use of Microsoft Excel!  ;D

Glenn and/or mods, would it be possible to make this a temporary sticky until Christmas so that we can keep people updated more easily?

Is this stricktly a fishing related exchange or whatever's clever?

Last year it was fishing related.  I say we stick to the tradition.

I think it would probably be best to keep it fishing related because most people aren't going to know the person they are getting a gift for very well. We all pretty much know that anyone here will like something fishing related.

That's what I was thinking.

good

I will be modifying the two posts at the end of page 1 with participant updates and any additional information. Please check there for updated info.

This brings out the kid in me.

Sure would like to have the following.

Electric Gloves ( Hands get cold as ice )

27" Monitor for my PC

Heated Helmet to put in my boat ( Head gets cold also )

New GPS for boat ( The old one keeps getting lost )

Plastic cover for the brake reservoir on my trailer( The new ones seem to disappear at tournaments )

Remington 1100/3" mag ( New or Used )

Bose system for my Triton

Heated under wear ( Butt gets cold too )

Might as well get some electric socks also. ( Feet Dam near freeze )

I'm in need of a new Suburban ( Radio messing up in the old one )

Will be adding to list as the days get closer.

Dominion Dan,

If you do a good job organizing the exchange then I will let you take care of organizing my bills

Come on folks!!!!  

We have over 17,000 members on this forum and only 11 participants?  

Come on, it'll be fun!!  

There is still a while for people to sign up, don't worry, I think we'll get more participants.

Just as a reminder, the last day to sign up is December 5th

DD, just wondering if you've had any more responses.

I'm in! Sounds like fun!

I haven't had any new responses until this morning. The list on page 1 is current as of now.

Perhaps see if we can make this a sticky in all the sub forums to get more views?
