I'm sure you are all massively sick of seeing this thread, and I apologize - it'll die soon ;) However, there were some people who 1) did not come to the party or 2) did not receive a gift when they came. If this happened to you: we have your gift (or a replacement gift) SO, please stop by my house (2110 Tonga Trips quarter) to receive it. Please note: you have until 10:00 PM EST Thursday night (that's 30 hours from now) to pick it up...after this, your gift will be unavailable to you. We're sorry about this, but we have to have limits.
If you're on this list, we have your gift. If you aren't, but you didn't get one, that means your gifter was a slacker and didn't send it in - but you can stop by anyway to pick up a replacement. And please be honest about whether or not you received one ;)

This thread was previously:
It is not Christmas. Actually, it is not any holiday. Of any sort. Whatsoever.
HOWEVER. Next test, whenever that should be, I will be holding a Secret Glisanta gift exchange!
Basically, the way it works is this. If you want to partake (meaning you will give and receive a gift) simply post in this thread, saying so (and please, to the extent that you can, it would be great if all sign-ups could be put in here, rather than in IM or mail) and I will frogmail you the profile link and name of your gift receiver (don't worry if it takes a few days, I'd like to get a general idea of attendance size before I start assigning people). If you have a strong objection to your giftee, let me know and I'll consider reassignment (I say consider because this will be pretty complicated as it is and I'll probably only switch things around if absolutely necessary). Once you've purchased/made your gift, mail it to me. I'll keep track of what's going to who, and hand them out at the party. I realize this takes a certain amount of trust, but I promise to take very good care of the gifts :)
Then, next test, we'll have the gifting ceremony, and an after-party at my house. I'll hand out the gifts, and the giver can announce themselves (if present). If you're unavailable, just let me know. I'll present the gift with your name and any message you want conveyed.
There's no cap on how expensive the gift is. However, while I can't enforce this, it would be nice if the gifts could be more valuable than say, a bean ;)
Since I don't know the date of next test, we'll say the party will be in a week and 2 days (26 August), assuming we're testing then. If not, we'll reschedule, but plan on that date. ALSO, the deadline for signing up is the 21st.
Thanks! :)
