I want to say sorry to all....

lawnmowerman

the guys that did not receive their secret santa gift in time for Christmas. I said this before but the reason I started the exchange so early this year, was to avoid this kinda garbage. There was really no reason / excuse for some guys not getting their gifts in time.

It really makes me quite upset that some of the guys ripping secret santa gifts from someone else, didn't take the time to make sure their recipient got their's in time.
Imo that really sucks!

To the guys that did not receive, plese update me, whether by thread or via pm to let me know when / if you actually do receive your gift.

Sorry again and Merry Christmas

Matt

I posted sometime back that money talks and B*** S*** walks, will we did have a/some B*** S****** sign up and then not come through. We had a person sign up that was in very poor health make sure his gift was sent. My you RIP knowing your gift was sent.

My complaint is the opposite. My santa sent my gift really early and I had to friggin wait a month to open it. I usually lack that type of self control.

mine was a joke, i put much more time in wrapping and buying mine than what i recieved. oh well happy holidays

I think this was a great thing to do for Christmas. I'm not sure if my present arrived or not, it's probably waiting for me to bust it open tomorrow.


But whether it's there or not, I'm happy about being able to be a secret Santa. I felt so good sending my gift. It's a great thing for the season, and a great thing for CU. There's no reason to let late mail or late Santas spoil the fun.


Cheers Matt and Tonya, I wish you and everyone here a Merry Christmas.

Matt,

Nothing for you to be sorry about. You did a great job with the cooridnation which I am sure must have taken a decent amount of time. I applaud you for doing the secret santa exchange and I am already looking forward to next year!

Three Cheers for Matt!!

TheThrill22

Matt, you did an excellent job. This was my first year participating. To those who didn't receive anything, sorry to hear that. Please pm your address and I will get something out to you. As it turns out, I was Tim's Secret Santa and this Christmas is just not the same.

I would sure like to hear what BS story you have for not sending a gift. This is directed at the individual/individuals that did not send out their gift.

Matt,

There is nothing for you to apologize for! You did a wonderful thing for this community and deserve to be thanked! So THANK YOU!

Now quit apologizing and go enjoy Christmas.

Matt did an awesome job with this Secret Santa. Like others stated before, I would also like to put my name in there to give a gift to the ones that didn't get one.

My Santa wasn't very good to me either (I only got some junk rack packs and some random commons thrown into a box at the last minute) but I'm glad my recipient did really enjoy his.

But at least I did get someone else (the one that sent me the free 1990 Fleer b-ball; yes, it's dirt cheap but what counts is that it was something I could actually use) as a "bonus secret Santa" so to speak and my wife did get me four 1972 PSA 7 graded cards (Yaz IA, Morgan, Carlton, and the FISK ROOKIE!!!!) as well as a NINTENDO WII!!!!! So all in all, I still had quite a Christmas even if my secret Santa wasn't very good to me this year.

Thanks Matt. I had a lot of fun putting together a fun Christmas stocking full of stuff for Jerry..aka....jerster
I'm glad he enjoyed them.

I'm in on helping put together gifts for guys who got shorted.

<< <i>I'm in on helping put together gifts for guys who got shorted. >>



Thanks Ross and all who have told me this as well. I'm still hoping everyone will get a gift late rather than not at all.

I'll let everyone know if we need some pinch hitters in the coming week

I'd be proud to join that list.

It was only a matter of time.

I didn't receive a package but I did get a nice e-mail from Josh (illini) with an update as to why I didn't. And he even sent me $25 to my PayPal account to make up for it. It's the holidays and these things happen. Packages get lost in the mail. I'm sure the card Josh bought for me will show up and I will get it eventually. No worries here.

Thanks again, Matt, for organizing this this year. Merry Christmas everybody!

Don't feel bad, anyone could have their office snowed in for 2 months.

I actually made the list, Very cool.

bigwilli

People not sending gifts was part of the reason i didnt participate this year . However i believe it would be a
good idea to make sure people will send next year . I for one would like to sign up next year . Its obvious that
people put some serious thought into what they sent and it should be given a big thumbs up...

I was left high and dry by secret santa but would still like to thank Lawnmowerman for putting in all the leg work. I did enjoy seeing the scans and creativity of the board members.

You didn't recevie a git from your Santa??

jswieton

I still havn't got mine. And my santa never contacted me stateing it was going to be late. However, Matt told me that my santa contacted him and said that it might be late becuase of bad weather. It is just disapointing becuase when my guy I was sending to hadn't recieved his yet a few days befor xmas do to some shipping mix up. I was willing to send him a new gift and overnight it to him so he would have it in time. My guy eventualy recieved his first gift. The point is there is always some way to get a package to arive on time. I guess I can just sit here and view everyone elses. I have to admit it would have been nice to rip when everyone else was ripping. I guess its like the old saying "no good jesture goes unpunished."

ping4u43

I've said it numerous times during this Santa thing.

Money Talks and B*** S***** walks, The people that didn't send or notify of delays IMO are nothing but B*** S******.

fur72

Wow I feel like some of these comments are comming from small children, "I didnt get this, I didnt get that, my gift was not what I wanted" Rember the spirt of the holidy. I also have always believed its better to give than recieve.

bman90278

Matt, I think you did an excellent job with the Secret Santa and you did all you can do to make it happen. I'm very sorry to hear that some members dropped the ball which caused other members to not receive gifts in time for Xmas. That's very sad that members would commit to something like this and totally drop the ball. Of course a package could have been lost too, so we'll have to wait and see if the members make good on what happened.

Anyone not happy should just PM one of these guys or myself.

For personel selfish reasons, I would sure like to hear from you. And so would the others.

If you care about us and how we feel... DO IT!

Especially TheThrill22, it must weigh heavy for him because of Tims loss.

EDIT, maybe scratch that last comment pending further??? reading.

EDIT AGAIN, scratch that again because Thrill couldn't have known.

For all the complainers, here's a thought: don't sign up next year.

Great effort Matt. Don't sweat the small stuff. Everyone will wind up happy.
