As pseudo-founder of this thing, I'm in, of course.
(and damn you sX, I was waiting all week for the 1st to roll around so I could post this, but you beat me to the punch. Damn blitzkrieg.)
I'll put up a FAQ for those who haven't been part of this before later this week.

I'm totally in this year. I think I've done it for the past three years.
First year I sent a desk fan that plugs in to the USB port (and I think a few other things).
Second year, my santee said they had a gothic theme at their home, so I sent a gothic toilet bowl brush (Hey they can't have that yet can they?).
Third year, I sent my santee a copy of the Pirates! game by Sid Meier.
This year I intend to do much better than the previous three.
One thing for people who actually receive your gift: Please at least acknowledge that you got it. One of the years, my santee didn't even post a thank you and to this day I have no idea if he or she got it.

I have not yet sent out confirmations, but it looks like everyone who has posted in this thread has been received plus a few who haven't posted.
I still plan on sending out confirmations. Just been very busy since I got home from China.

Per the first post, names will be sent out by the 30th.
I'm assuming they just decided to not send out confirmation emails.

All emails are now out.
If for some reason you are not prompted for a return receipt due to your email client, please click the reply button and then send. That will be enough for me to know you got it.
Also the first couple of emails that went out will be from my Speakeasy email account. Thats me.
Check your spam folders.
Have fun!
