I would like to know if anyone is interested in a Holiday Exchange. Some of us have been here for 4 years and have a certain level of trust and many friends on the board, but I would like to make this Exchange inclusive to everyone, even those who have just joined.

So my thought for this exchange in not to give to another poster/member, but to give to an anonymous person in that persons name.

Example, my person who I draw for the exchange is Pamy. Instead of giving Pamy a gift, I give somewhere else in her name. It could be a shelter, charity, food drive or some random person on the street.

So, if anyone is interested, let me know. I'll keep this open until the day after (USA's) Thanksgiving and then assign (randomly) names.

I think this could be a lot of fun, for those who are old hats here and newbies and lurkers a like.

Absolutely Landi! My hope though is for people to "get to know" other posters and give in their honor.

Let me give 2 more examples.

1) Say I am assigned Reader..I know how passionate she is in her job as a Teacher..I would then purchase a gift certificate and present it to a 5th grade class for them to purchase books or whatever they wished as a gift in her name.

2) Say I am assigned Moonie..I know her love of animals so I may call up a feed store and purchase a couple of bales of hay/dog food/cat food for delivery/pickup of some random shopper at their store, in her name.

My hope is to have other posters get to know each other better, that's why I want everyone to be able to participate, whether you've been here for 4 years or 4 hours.

:( I am sorry for your loss Landi!

Maybe after we draw names, we'll have a questionaire of sorts so it makes it easier for people to give. Everyone can fill it out and that might also help with the 'getting to know you' phase..conversation starters..

1) What is your favorite charity?
2) Where would you prefer you gift to go?
3) Name something that you are passionate about?

etc.
