There are chocolate truffle bars, bourbon infused chocolates, and a bottle of Blueberry Honey wine. She shared some of the wine with me last night and it is really good. And I don’t normally like wine! Anyway, I’ll let her say more about it, lol.

Tasty snacks (I'm currently eating the pretzels, because pretzel chunks), a card game I'm sure @Boomslang and I will play and get mad at each other for winning at and keep playing, a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook with old-timey recipes that I'm super stoked about, and a lovely handwritten letter explaining it all, as well as some fun historical and etymological information about G-Man's neck of the woods.

Thank you so much!

Everyone sees what they truly want to see in the painting.

Last time, you told me my painting looked like an overcooked slab of meat. Then I painted it more, changed it, and you said you liked it better before.

Here's how it works:

1) Go to the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread and tell us that you're in. For now, we'll set a deadline of Sunday, December 1st for signing up. As of the sending of this PM, we already have six people participating!

2) On Monday, December 2nd, I will send a PM to everyone who signed up and ask them to provide a mailing address for their Secret Santa to send their goodies to. Please send me your addresses within 48 hours so we can keep things rolling along. If you've already signed up and want to send me your address in advance, that works too!

3) By Friday, December 6th, my goal is to have randomized the participant list, assign Secret Santas, and send you all the name of the person you are sending goodies to.

4) Once you have the name and address of the person you're sending to, you can figure out what you want to send them. In the past, we've suggested a $10-20 limit. We understand that this is fun and should not be a financial burden on anyone participating (and shipping rates aren't always cheap!). You can send something that you know they are interested in (the Interrogation Room is a great place for researching some folks), or you can send something with local flavor. If you're really stumped, you can always reach out to me and I can ask questions for you so you don't blow your cover.

5) Purchase and send your goodies.

6) Wait. This is always the most anguishing part.

7) Check the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread to see what other people get from their Secret Santas. We usually try to post a picture of the goodies we receive but a words-only post works fine too!

8) When you receive goodies from your Secret Santa, please share a pic or explain what you got in the Holiday Goodie Exchange thread.

9) Come back and do it again the following year!

There is no pressure to participate, so if this just isn't your year, that's okay. We still love you because you're part of this community. If you have any questions, send them my way!
