Christmas exchange.

[Bassn Blvd]

Are we doing the Christmas exchange again this year?  

[frogtog]

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.

[Long Mike]

Frogtog, what have you been smoking?  $500?  

[frogtog]

Oh just some of that Burley tobacco. :

[Tin]

Oh just some of that Burley tobacco. :

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

[Long Mike]

Hmm.  Burley tobacco. Hmm.

[Redlinerobert]

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.  

[Dan:]

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...

[Dan:]

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.

[Redlinerobert]

Yup, I am in.  Count Gidget in too.

[Dan:]

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?

[BASS fisherman]

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

[Redlinerobert]

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

[Dan:]

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.

[BASS fisherman]

That's what I was thinking.

good

[Dan:]

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.

[frogtog]

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.

[Bassn Blvd]

Dominion Dan,

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

[BASS fisherman]

Come on folks!!!!  

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

Come on, it'll be fun!!  

[Dan:]

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

[firefightn15]

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

[FR0G]

I'm in! Sounds like fun!

[Dan:]

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

[FR0G]

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