Don’t know if many of you would be interested or not, but if there were a few people interested it could be fun.
Do you want to do a “Secret Santa” this Christmas.
Several other forums run successful variations on the idea. All those interested reply to this post with some details (whether they have a horse etc, what size things there horse or pony takes etc, just so someone with a Shetland for example does not end up with a full size headcollar or something that would be of no use to them, or if they don’t have a horse or pony the person knows to get something for them personally rather than something for there horse or pony) , then you have to PM me your full name and address if you want to take part. (Closing date for entry to Secret Santa will be midnight on the 13th November so I can do the draw and give everyone there names and addresses so the gifts can be sent in plenty of time to reach the person by Christmas)
I will draw lots on 14th of November of everyone wanting to take part and send you a PM with your “Secret Santa” recipient’s name and address where the gift is to be sent. You then send an anonymous gift (~£10 in value) and card to your recipient (Just mark them from Carriage Driving Secret Santa so people know not to open them) (You might also want to put some clues inside the parcel or card to the Secret Santa’s Identity to help the recipient guess who its from). All gifts and cards NOT to be opened before Christmas Day. After Christmas we then have to guess who sent us our gifts ?
This will only work if everyone who agrees to do it definitely sends a gift and card before Christmas in plenty of time to arrive for Christmas as it would be very unfair if someone taking part sent a gift and then did not receive one in return. If I hear of any cases of this happening I will NOT be happy as it would spoil the whole thing.
I thought it would be a bit of Christmas fun for us. So what do you all think ? Any one interested ?
Taking part so far !
