Sign up is now closed.OK everyone I think we have enough people to get the Christmas exchange started. This is the way this is going to work. I will post in this message the individuals participating as well as the person they will need to contact to exchange the gift. Please see the list down at the bottom Please try to send your packages early, so they will be ready to be opened in time for Christmas . The gift can consist of the following 1. Rough rock (this can be any type, but please no junk ;D)2. Cabs3. Slabs4. Tumbled rough5. Tumbled finish6. Minerals (please nothing poisonous)7. Jaspers (Bruneau, Owyhee, others??)8. Anything else you may think the other individuals will appreciate receiving as a gift for Christmas.Here are some basic rules. 0) Gift must be received before Christmas ( 1) once you are assigned an individual, there are no changes...realize, that some of these individuals you'll be sending to live abroad, so plan ahead to make sure you will have no problem getting the package there on time. 2) send a note with you gift, wishing the other party merry christmas, happy hanuka, etc...that really brings the spirit of the season to a whole new level. 3) post picture of what you got 4) post more pictures of what you got. 5) There is no limit on your giving generosity, just make sure you give from the heart 6) Enjoy.

All thank you for catching all of the mistakes. I have updated the list accordingly...I really appreciate your patience with me.
Hope you all have fun with this. Last year, I was paired up with jack from England, and it was great when I opened the box Christmas morning and found some pendants and some tumbled stuff, it was perfect, and since it had been snowing for days on out...it really got me excited about going out as soon as the snow settled.
I hope you all have a great time with this...I'm open to suggestions if you want to do different..I think last year, the system was a bit different. People where not paired up, but were given a name to send to, but I think this makes it more personable.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Santa's Helper ;D ;D Ozzy
