Once upon a time, there was 'CU Secret Santa'

Perhaps for 2025?

    PLEASE be sure to include the classic "sent...does not suck"!! Sadly I only get SSDI/SNAP every month and I still got to finish paying down my credit card so I personally won't be able to join in...and why I haven't for years :( My favorite SS is that one year I drew a guy who wanted Mark McGwire cards and I drew inspiration from this moment where Don West from Shop-At-Home said "well what's the big deal about this card" and Don shouted "It's a [shown below]!" So I got him (I think) graded 1987 Fleer and 1987 Topps McGwires. Well what kind of cheapskate are you, you might be asking...well you see I made sure they were this kind!

    I ran one of the early years events, and participated in several others. Always was a good time!

    Those were the days, my friend
    We thought they'd never end
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    We'd live the life we choose
    We'd fight and never lose
    For we were young and sure to have our way
    La-la-la-da-da-da
    La-la-la-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

    Harry Stamper: So who's your contingency Secret Santa? You know your back up Secret Santa, your DSS (Designated Secret Santa) that could maybe step in? You gotta have some sort of back up plan...right?

    I never participated, but always enjoyed watching the breaks and SS every year.

    I also LOVED watching the big 12 days of Christmas unopened that one member posted every year. Those were great threads
