'Get It Done'

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2012: If the world doesn't end, I'm going to need a note

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2012--better luck next time.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Now that most of the Secret santa (but not the Slacker santa?) exchange is done, do we want to talk about the Mardi Gras exchange?

I would love to make it multi-holiday, but that seems like it would stretch it out too long, so how about this:

Gifts should be purple, gold or green, or otherwise connected with Mardi Gras (so King Cake counts! )

Yes, no, other ideas?

Yes. And I think single holiday is good. If we want to do other little gift exchanges for other holidays, we can propose those in Press once this thread is closed.

I think the Mardi Gras Exchange is a great idea, but I'm not sure I have the wherewithal to participate this year.

What if it was a Mardi Gras/Easter/General Spring exchange from 2/12 (Mardi Gras) to 3/31 (Easter). I want to participate, but to start up right now is too much for me, in a month, I'll be good.

Lenten gift exchange? That's so crazy it might just work.

I might feel more able to cope with extra stuff in a couple of weeks. I should at least know better if I'll be able to cope or not - things are particularly amorphous for me right now.

Oooh, that kind of has slacker built right into it. *insert smiley emoticon of doom* Mardi Gras is rather quick on the heels (originally typed that as hells, maybe should have left it that way) of Chrismakwanzakkuh this year and while I'm not tapped out, I also have two birthdays coming up at the end of January. My kids are going to be 32 and 33! Inconceivable!

I like that idea,! Let's do it!

Lee, do you want to run it through elfster? I can walk you through administering from there and could help mark it such that no one who has done the gift exchange could get anyone they have had for the last few years. I hope some new participants will join the shenanigans

I would be happy to be organizer, so that would be excellent!

(unless you want to, of course, but I figure you are due for a break)
