Im not completely sure how we might attempt to do this but let's do Secret Santa here at the lounge. 
That sound crazy? I think I kinda have a plan as far as doing it too, might just need some fine tuning. Here's my suggestion....well wait, first
let's see if you guys are down with trying it. If no one wants to there's no need in me going into detail.
So tell me, would that be something you all would be interested in trying? 
Being that no one like you or me, we might as well exchange gifts amongst ourselves 
Oh I forgot, my sugardumpling Infinite loves me 
You want us to exchange gifts, Mellow? Ya'll ain't getting sh*t from me but a virtual Sweet Potatoe Pie. Here is yours
Seriously though I'm down.
Well see that's just it Free all the gifts would be virtual that way
everybody could get anything and everytyhing they want and not hurt the pockets of the gift giver. The only thing we'd be spending is time. 
Kandi, they don't like us cuz we're Divas, they're just jealous.
Mellow is there a spending cap?
I'm down darling, but can we call it something other than *Secret Santa*??
If not then thats fine. Just being my usual difficult self.

Eb that's what it IS.
Deep, if you can think of a better name it's okay by me.
Kandi & Free, there's no spending cap, it's all virutal, you can get your person a brand new car if you want.
All we'll do is post the pictures of the gifts.
Now here's the plan I came up with...
You will know the person you have to get a gift to by way of U2U. You can't tell the person you have them. We'll only go by people who say they want
to do this in this thread that way no one is getting a gift for anybody who's not giving one to somebody else.
There is no spending cap so the gift can be as big or small as you want it to be.
Once you get a persons name in your U2U you are stuck with that person there will be no changes made...to much work and a whole lot of switching
around. This is supposed to be fun not a damn job.
We can open up a thread to exchange gifts on the 23rd during the virtual Christmas party we're going to have. Hey if we can have virtual baby showers and funerals we can have a virtual Christmas party.
That's about all I've got right now. Any more suggestions?
Mellow... this is gonna be wayy. too. damn. funny.
Count me in. This is the only Christmas present I'm giving this year
Deep as crazy as folks are around here this should be a whole lot of fun.
Hail this will probably be the only gift I get this year.
So Mellow, does everyone get to post a list of wishful presents say 3 or 4 items and our giver picks one off the list or are we going blind and going on what we know about our receiver.?
I think going blind would be more fun, this will reveal how much we know about eachother or how much we don't know. Also if you know nothing about the person you get this is a chance to get to
know more about them. I just think going blind has so many more positives to it than having folks tell us what they want. Makes it more interesting.

Count me in. Someone is going to have to teach me how to get pictures over here tho. If not thats ok.
No money to be spent????
Count me in.
now this is my kind of Secret Santa no money.....hell....im down......
I'm down too. This is the best part of Secret Santa, no money involved.
that is a good idea
ooh me me. Count me in. And like Dutchess I need 2
know how to insert pics also.
i can dig
i can dig
i'll do it
It sounds interesting. I'm down and can we rag on each other gifts or do we have to smile and pretend like we like them. Who is choosing who has who?
oh and whose house is the christmas party going to be at this year?
i'm in 
Are we allowed to make a wish list? I don't trust ya'll, and depending on my person I may have a lump of coal
Whoops! I'll be back...
This is a great idea!
I'm definately down, but I'll also have to be shown how to post the pictures
how to post pictures.
1. find a picture u want to use.
2. right click the picture with mouse and choose save picture as...
3. go to http://www.imageshack.us
4. click the browse button
5. browse the pictures on your pc until you find the picture you saved
6. click picture
7. click host it
8. copy link for Hotlink for forums (1)
9. paste link in your post.
question: how did you guys get the pictures in your ziggy?
Sounds Banana's but I'm down!
I'm In, this sounds hella fun

You don't have to pretend you like anybody I'd never suggest that. BUT
I will ask that you at least try to get the know the person you have a little better. Just watch them, be a little more attentive to what they post
for the next few weeks. Maybe after learning more about them, by the time it's time to give the gifts, you might not feel the same. Now that's not to say you'll be in love with the person, but maybe
you'll like them a little more than you did. I just think it would be fair if she did it. She doesn't know Im gonna impose
on her yet though.....or does she?

It's all based on how well you know the person you have. Like If I
had you, you'd probably get one of the Dallas Cowboy players dressed in full gear to be at your disposal. Feel me now?
Did everybody who doesn't know how to post pictures understand what Chrissy posted? You might want to utilize the test forum to practice.
I see that a few of you that said you'd need to be shown how to post pics already have them in your signature tags. You post pics on the board the
same way you did those.
If you still need help though, let me know.
I'll be back with a list of who we have participating so far.
Thanks Christina for the instructions, will practice tonight. Its about time y'all know what I look like, maybe
if it works. When are you askin Shawna to do this. I gotta get shoppin.

When I said THEM i meant the presents Mellow not the person. I dont care
who I get. I meant if they give us a bogus gift do we have to pretend like we like the gift.

In that case no, when it comes to the gift by all means tell
the person how you REALLY feel.

Sistas with like minds should join forces.
You see who I said I was gonna ask to help me out. See how special you are to me? I even made you a nice pretty list to make it easy. 
Hay, this sounds like a great thing count me in. I know I know I'm late as usual but I'm here and I want in. this maybe the only gift I get this
