Lori, I won't be doing Secret Santa this year, but if you look in the archives here in the forums you will see how I organized it. I beleive there were about 30 members last year that participated in the pet gift exchange, and it was a 100% success, everybody recieved their gifts by the Xmas due date . If you are considering doing a secret santa, you should get it in the works ASAP, as there is a "lot" of paperwork & email that must happen. I got last years Secret Santa rolling around early Sept. And YES, it was a lot of work but OMG it was soooo much fun. Guessing "who" was your secret santa, and people watching their pets tear open their gifts was priceless ..and then there was of course, one member that went WAYYYYY over board, and added a couple of zero's to the limit on how much to spend on pet gifts, and bought xmas gifts for the entire family  ______ that family was having a hard time last year, and when the UPS man delivered all those gifts to that house for pets AND humans, it was beyond heart-warming. That family was shocked and estatic at the same time to see so many gifts arrive at their door. It made their Xmas. You see, there really "IS" a Santa, you just have to "beleive"
