100 pages guys! You should all be so proud, or ashamed, or perturbed. Just feel something.

So for next year should we just do away with the whole 2 tins thing?

You'll get nothing and like it!

My match appears to have adopted a lazy approach to opening - who'd have guessed?

Perhaps change it to poundage?

While some of us are able to give biggly, not everyone can, or should be expected to. Conversely, not everyone wins in a landslide, some will receive whatever modest gift that their match can afford. I know that it’s the thought that counts, and we have some of the most kind and appreciative people here, but the disparity is a real issue. I suspect it keeps some people from joining the fun, not being able to meet expectations. I don’t have an answer, aside from maybe raising it to a four tin limit (then six, then twelve, then…), but as we’ve seen, Secret Santa has become something of a lottery.

I’ve certainly been as guilty of an enthusiastic example of unbridled escalation as anyone else.

My mailbox is still lonely.
I guess my match has procrastination syndrome.

I am on two secret santa lists and both are procrastinating.

 

[woodsroad]

Agreed.

I like pointing out problems then not offering solutions.

Don’t be too quick to assign blame.
