Up to 203!?!?!
The Canucks have really stepped up their game from last year. Up to 17 Canadians now already compared to 11 last year.
Still several hours to get in, so please send me your info if you haven't already and make sure to check the list of Santas in my original post for your username too!
This is awesome, the growth from year to year is pretty crazy. This is a huge highlight for me every year and I have to say I ordered a few things last night after signing up due to my excitement. Can’t wait to begin my real stalking and not just some stocking stuffers.
Pushing a bit late to the game, but certainly in again this year.
Can't wait to see everyone's excitement...and to count the chinchillas.
Ottawa, ON
Quoted from BoilerUp:I’m new to pinball and new to Pinside but boy oh boy am I in!
Like to see the excitement.
Quoted from radial_head:I still don't see my name on the list...?
If you hit in before the deadline I’m sure on the next update you will be on there.
Quoted from radial_head:I was just sitting around reading my art books and now I'm IN.
Add me to the list please.
Quoted from radial_head:I still don't see my name on the list...?
Did you follow the instructions in the first post and PM LesManley with the required information?
I kinda wish I knew who my Santa is/was so I can send them a thank you, but i guess that would defeat the purpose of the "Secret"

Thank them on here. They'll see it
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Thank them on here. They'll see it
oh I do/have
Looks like we ended at 207 for now. Wow. I updated the list in the original post. If you wanted in and don't see your username on there, send me a PM ASAP. Soon I'll close this thread down and open the 2022 participants thread to keep things nice and tidy.
Quoted from toasterman04:Ok ok…. I am in…. How do I i offically do it?!
First post literally has all of the details.
Quoted from toasterman04:My forgiveness… PM sent
Toaster man. I'm already sending an idea for a gift...

THANK YOU so much for doing this for everyone, I know how much time it takes. You better hope I get your name from the list lol.

Sign ups for 2022 are now over. So what comes next you ask? I'm going to shut it down here and create a new thread for all participants to follow to keep things clean and simple. That thread is...

If you are still late to the game or know someone else who is, you still have a chance to get it before everyone is matched up. Just shoot me a message...quickly. Other than that, moderators robin please shut down this thread since registration is now closed. Thanks again!

That was my strategy last year. It worked. 
Quoted from Puffdanny:I don't think K9Marshal should be allowed to participate seeing how he didn't even have the decency to say thank you for all the gifts he received last year.
If thats true, then I agree. We don't need any scrooges stinking up the holiday spirit. I know one or two others have been flakey in the past as well. Please don't commit if you're not going to follow through with everything.
This attitude makes me sad. Giving gifts should be about giving gifts, not about getting acknowledgement. I understand there are guidelines in this thread/process, but honestly people. Watch your own bobber.
Not sending a gift is a different story, however. That should be grounds for scrutiny.

I'm sorry, I understand the sentiment here but part of the agreement is posting your gifts. At the very least you know they got there safe. I do agree though, actually not sending something is by far worse.
Also IBTL
Quoted from Steve_d71:Can you get the "in before the lock" achievement more than once?
So, in the meantime IBTL!!

Posting pics of gifts is a must! It's half the fun to see those crazy, imaginative, fun gifts out there! But no expectations on the number of gifts nor their value. As long as it meets up with the basic rules set-up by the man himself, @LesManley, everything should work out great!
Signed: IBTL!
Quoted from PoMC:Pinside has achievements? lol
