Hey gang! I'm helping Xislandgirl with the holiday ornament exchange this year, and I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing yet, so please bear with me while I learn this! :)

If you signed up last time, you're still on the list for this year, if you haven't signed up yet, and you want to, please PM me with your "real name" and e-mail address and I will add you.

The deadline for sign-up is November 30th and the exchange date is December 15th.

Hi Margo,

I clicked on the Elfster and it lead me to sort of nowhere. Did I go in?

It said access denied, but let me try the first link later and see if I can make a profile. Right now I am on my way out and I won't be able to do it till late tomorrow.

Thanks!

Hi Brenda -

We all sign up on Elfster which manages the exchange for us and draws the names for each of us to exchange with. It's a secret who got your name until your ornament shows up in the mail! :) It's really neat and a lot of fun! Please join!

Jayseedee asked this question on the OT and I think she has a good point:

Is it possible to move the exchange earlier? I hate having last minutes things to do the week of Christmas.
You're the second person to ask, so I'm putting it out there now....

Would you guys like to move the deadline up to Nov. 15 or 20, and the exchange date to Dec. 1st?
