I´d be in like the last years.
I think if we do one, we should include Ashley as one of the recipients.

What is it?

The Christmas pool is where members post that they will supply a "gift". Everyone puts their name on such list. 1,2,3,4 so on. At the given time the one running the pool (hopefully me) randomizes the list with who gets what number. That person then ships the gift to the other. No one knows what the gift is so it really is a surprise.

Due to some recent issues (job loss yet again :( ) I will not be doing this :(. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up but I'd rather step out now than mess something up.

- Deadlines!!!
- Clear rules help, but are no guarantee that everybody plays along.


- Getting the people to sign up (Easy)
- Collecting all the addresses (Medium, IMHO best way is to have everybody send the address when they sign-up)
- Sending everybody an address to ship to (Very Easy, the one thing you have total control over :D)
- Getting everybody to ship on time (Very Hard, end of the year is very busy for everybody and it takes an extra effort to ship on time)

I highly suggest reading last years thread
I think as the organizer one should have at least one spare gift-pack ready to send out if someone does not hold up his end of the deal or is a cheapskate (there is always someone with an excuse.).
