I will be running the Secret Santa this year, I will ask maryjane to explain what you need to do, since he's done this before and has already explained things with his fingers. (I'll add a few comments here and there)
*hands the keyboard to mj*
Most of you know the drill. Sign up here in this thread (by replying "I'm in"), then send "TheDigitalAlchemist" a pm with your name, FULL Mailing address, and a sentence or two about what you "like" or are "into".
He will pull names out of a hat and give you, (via PM), another person to anonymously send a gift to.
Someone else, will be receiving your mailing address and name via PM and they will be sending you a gift--anonymously.
Then all you have to do is wait and see what comes in the mail/UPS/fed-ex. Make it $25.00 plus or minus shipping, your call.
Historically, we have always PM'd real names and of course, real addresses. This is so you have something to write in the "send to" area for the Post office or shipping agency to use. All TDA can do is promise that your information will go only to the one person that is going to be YOUR secret Santa. If you are uncomfortable submitting your name and valid address, please do not sign up.
And, please, please PLEASE - if you are interested, MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO THIS. Extra Secret Santas' have picked up the slack in the past few years, but it is not fair for them to have to follow thru on what someone else promised to do. So please if you aren't going to send something, DON'T SIGN UP. It isn't fair for the other person, and it makes the person left out feel really bad to boot.
Cutoff date for signing up will be Nov 25, and I will send everyone their info before Dec1.
*hands the keyboard back to TDA*
Thanks mj.
One last thing - if you look at the list of folks, (I'll update it every few days) and you see someone you don't want having your address, PM me. I'll make sure they don't end up getting you.
Feel free to share a pic or two of what you receive!
Hope everyone has safe and happy holidays!

I'm in!
PM on the way.
The only thing I can add is :
You (TDA) will probably want to set a cutoff date for signing up. This helps to ensure everyone gets their name sent to them in a timely manner and gives you plenty of time to try to get names in regional areas all together instead of some people having to pay to send parcels across 3 time zones while others do not. It won't always work out perfect but you get the idea.
Everyone, please make sure your gift is sent early enough to arrive by Christmas or New Years at the latest, but we all know 'stuff happens' sometimes. but IF it's going to be late, please let TDA know as early as possible by PM and/or via one of his Secret Santa threads. I remember one year that one person didn't get theirs until Easter...
You may want to at least consider the ramifications of sending packages to or from our Canadian and or other nation members. There aren't as many as there once were here at PFF it seems but still....
Thanks for doing this TDA.

If I could say... I'll be representing my daughter, and I'll also make her pick something out, knowing what I know about the person I get! 
So for 82-T/A, if you could, put (AJ from Gen Z Garage) in parenths, because that's who it should be for.
