Last year we had 26 total, so 9 more than where we currently are. We were debating not doing it with last year's turnout and we haven't reached a decision for this year as the deadline hasn't happened. Will keep you all posted.

I have two hangu-ups:

I'm in Europe, and planning on leaving around 15th December.

Would love to sign up, let me know.

Well, I do suppose you can technically order everything online while still in Europe and have it ship directly to them. Some sites even offer wrapping. Otherwise it is right on the shipping deadline listed.

I think you've got me wrong there: that's where I live.

Disappointing, but not shocking. This place is nothing like it used to be back a few years ago.

The sign up deadline has come and gone. We are at 18 including Matt and I. We have discussed our options and at this point we are deciding to not go forward with Secret Santa this year. It will be too difficult checking to see if this person has already sent to this person over the past 14 years. Shipping costs have forced most everyone to directly order/ship and it's just not the same fun as a box of wrapped gifts and treasures. This place isn't the same anymore like minendo said. Sorry everyone

Thanks to both of you for handling this for all these years. Sadly I only logged in to register to participate, but as stated before this place just isn't the same anymore. I'll check back next year to see if maybe things have changed and SS is back.

Serious bummer but I could see it coming ... 18 people just isn't enough to do it right.

As has already been said thanks for all the hard work over the years Marty & Skip!


And Merry Christmas anyway!

Dang.. this is the first in a while to miss out. I had some good memories from the ATOT Secret Santa.

I'll admit I havent been on the web / forums / because I am super busy with life. I dont use reddit, but I do use FB more than anything else - but even that is like 30 minutes a day. Compared to 8 hours of ATOT back when I first started at this job...

Should there be a ATOT FB group?

No question about it ... always looked forward to this in fact there were a few years where my ATOTSS provided the best Christmas gift I received.

My best was the Roku XS. Several years ago. I still use it just about every day.
For some reason most modern smart TV's dont have all the channels Roku does, like quite a few free movie channels and of course, hardcore porn.
