This is a prime example of why more people should practice the "selfish Christmas" See, it is just a big swapping party anyhow, so if everyone just bought something for themselves, they would all end up with exactly what they wanted. :)

Alright. When it gets to be too much, I'll put a cap on it. I was going to limit it to 25 names, but right now we'll say 30. (Save your money for stamps, folks!)

The first 30 to PM me with their address gets on the list. PM me with the subject line 'Christmas', it'll make it all easier to sort through.
(And I guess I'll include those of you that jumped the gun!)
