Unfortunately yes, as others already explained. Last year I found myself in a financial situation where I had to sit out the AtariAge gift exchange after several years of participation. This year I've come afloat again and was able to enter. Ideally we'd have a billionaire member who would grant free gifts up to a value of $30-50 per person to all other members of some standing but that billionaire hasn't yet quite showed up, so in the mean time the best we can do is to give eachother gifts. Of course if you have a vast collection with many duplicates, you might pick something from it with a certain value, instead of buying a lot. It would keep down the total costs involved to participate. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5169760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just want to take a sec to say THANKS to @CaptainBreakout and @chicgamer for once again getting this going and running it. It's always really hard to run these things because of the desire to make sure everyone can participate, etc., but without having a system and process in place the whole thing falls apart. I know if I ran it there'd be no end of problems. Thanks again! 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5169794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Armscar Coder Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I am also waiting for my Secret Santa package to arrive. Maybe I haven't been as good this year as I thought I have. According to the tracking, I can see that my recipient should have received theirs, and that is a bit of a relief. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5170099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Armscar Coder Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 OK, according to super elf @chicgamer, my package was delivered to my post office yesterday. I have been checking daily but yesterday I was too busy to do so. My daughter is performing in the Nutcracker this weekend and there were two shows yesterday and another show today. I'll be going to the post office first thing tomorrow to pick it up. I'm really excited and not sure how long I'll hold out until opening it. I am going to try and wait until next weekend, but we'll see. Thanks in advance to my Secret Santa for keeping me on the good list this year. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5170189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Cool. Yeah weird things happen Saturdays at post offices with tracking numbers. In my experience they sort it all out on Monday most of the time. Speaking of which... *Ahem* Please allow me to be blunt... All participants who have NOT YET sent out pacakges... Get it out Monday!!! (That's tomorrow, yo. And get those tracking numbers to us elves.) 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5170216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) According to the tracking number I received, my Secret Santa package will arrive tomorrow. Plus, my Secret Santa said I can open the gifts any way I like, so I’ll be sharing everything tomorrow afternoon, once I pick it up from the Post Office.

Even if I was just selling something on ebay, I like knowing the package is safe and wasn't taken by someone stealing from a porch or something. So yeah, even if you're waiting to open, an acknowledgement of package received it helpful! 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/341926-the-official-atari-age-secret-santa-2022-thread/page/11/#findComment-5170460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
