Shadow will contact you by PM to let you know who you are sending to. (the person you send to IS NOT the person that is sending back to you).
All packages must be mailed by Nov 14th. That has to be a HARD deadline because of the mail. Sometimes it's slow, other times, it's really quick. When you receive your package. Just let it sit and DO NOT OPEN until Dec 13th when everyone is in chat. If you are on dial-up and cannot chat, that's ok. Just wait until the time that everyone will be in chat and open. There will be a thread posted for everyone to post pics of their goodies and to publicly thank their SS.
IF you have not yet received a PM from Shadow with a person, that means you DO NOT have someone overseas. Don't fret.....Shadow is doing the best she can. She has over 100 names to put out, so this will take her a bit of time.
Are you unconfused now??

In another group we all used the leaders address so if something went wrong she got the package and let us know. And we send whatever was needed to correct it. If you have one address wrong you don't want the same address for sender so it will also go to dead mail room.
Almost have everything for my package to go out.

Yes I am confused about the do not open part, I thought you and I and only you and I were allowed to open them when they arrive.

Okay, all International people have been sent a PM with the information for their person. The participants who are sending overseas have also been sent a PM with their person's info.
Parcels are to be in the mail by November 14th, this is a hard deadline to ensure all participants receive their Secret Santa package for the December 13th chat. International participants can mail anytime from now to November 14th.
This is the 3rd Secret Santa swap and aside from one glitch last year, all parcels were received and none were lost or sent to dead mail. I can understand some swaps having everything sent to the person running the swap, but I have 121 people participating and my post office would probably lynch me if all those parcels started arriving to me! LOL
This way has worked in the past and I have all the faith in the world that it will work again this year. :)
Now you all know the one rule that is not to be broken ever... and that rule is...
Have Fun!!!
I will send out the remaining PMs on October 24th. :)
S.D.
