Are we doing White Elephant again? December draws near!

December draws near! Indeed, it does draw near! Well, I'm the grinch who has run the white elephant thing for the past few years, even though I don't believe in Christmas... But I got busy this year and forgot! So, and I quote (from last year's post! ): What is white elephant? Something around your house that you would not mind giving away. Can be Jewel related, does not have to be. It can be a useful item, a joke gift, or just that ugly green lamp you've been wanting to get rid of. Personally, I like comical gifts, but that is just me. Example, one of those great Unedited preprinted autographed photos with a postprinted mustache on Jewel. What is it? Basically everyone will be given a name and addy of another EDA, and everyone will give/recieve a white elephant gift sometime late December. Call it Christmas, solstice, whatever, but just a goofy way to connect with strangers. Is there a price/value limit? Let me stress again, these items should be something you already have laying around the house, but no, there is no price limit... Just remember though, you might give your signed Save the Linoleum cd, and get a half-eaten peanutbutter sandwich. How will the names be assigned? Email me if you want to participate (unless someone else wants to run this thing, which would be fine too.) and the names will randomly be given out. You may not necessarily be getting a gift from the same person you gave one. Can EDAs outside of the US join in the fun? Yes! But please, everyone state if you are willing to ship overseas. It would be fun and best to break things up, having someone in Australia send a gift to someone in Spain, etc. If enough people are willing to ship overseas, then it will work really well. Timeline. The clock is ticking.... You have eight days to email me at _EDAWhiteElephant@aol.com_ (mailto:EDAWhiteElephant@aol.com) . Send me an email with "White Elephant" in the subject. Please state if you are willing to ship overseas and include your name and mailing address. Then late on December 1st I will email you an address. So, there it is, Rowdy PS: Don't forget the most important part.... When you receive your gift, post to the list to tell everybody of the cool/strange things you received! ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V10 #268 ****************************
