Honestly, it's really not that bad. I put everyone's info into an Excel spreadsheet. Then I created a new column at the beginning. Cut and paste all the user names into that column and then put it in alphabetical order. That's how we matched them up. Only two people wanted to get in after the deadline and I matched them together.

A few people had ornament delays, but only one person never got an ornament and one of us sent one.

Well either way, no matter who organizes it, we probably don't have to start collecting addresses for a few weeks.

Re: secret santa and ornament swap this year

Talking about Ornament Swap already?Chat Icon Usually this does not get underway until at least the stuff is in all the stores! lol

I was the "creator" of this in 2004 (days before my weddingChat Icon ) and am glad to see its still going strong. With soooo many people on the baords now, it must be insane to organize!

Good luck to whoever organizes! I will bow out of it this year again, as I just do not have the "ambition" anymore.

Re: secret santa and ornament swap this year

Anyone who is worried about not receiving an ornament should realize that we had 114 participants, and only one or two people had problems. I think I had maybe 5 people who sent them out late. Really that's not too bad.

ETS: We could also ban those who were deadbeats last year. I have FMs still with their names. I don't think they are active posters anymore.
