Okay here's the deal, we know that the real Santa only has the best of intentions & we're happy for Santa to be taking time out from his busy schedule at this time of year to stop by our forum for a visit.

Having Santa here is not something that the forum has encountered before, so we must have all been very good this year! It was sure a big surprise!
On the other hand, there may be some Bad Santas out there in cyberspace, and that's the concern.
Therefore, Santa's password has been changed and
must remain secret from the general public. If not & if Bad Santa were to turn up, then Santa (good or bad) would have to be escorted off the forum & nobody wants that.

So....if you are participating in the Holiday Gift Exchange 2010 & have need of his secret information, then please send me a PM. Thanks for understanding - we want to protect our community and also not have Santa's name tarnished!
Second order of business...In consideration and support of the following:
However, I do ask that you please DO NOT identify yourself on the forum! This includes talking about whether or not you've received your parcel, whether or not you've posted it, etc.... The 21st (December) is when you can thank your gift-giver publicly and let everyone know whose name you had.
Because 'mum's the word!' (anyone remember that episode of Gilligan's Island besides me?)...we are locking this thread up until nearer the time, to avoid someone bursting and spilling the beans! As we get nearer to the present-opening-day, we can either reopen this thread or start a new one.
Happy shopping! Ho ho ho!
