People that don't want to, or for some reason can't, shouldn't feel obligated. Actually I'd prefer people didn't get me gifts because there is nothing I really need, and chances are, if I wanted it, I'd own it already. For example, I have an Aunt that buys me expensive calendars every year, that are far from my taste, plus I get tons of free ones in the mail. I'm talking serious gifts, and not inexpensive silly or gag gifts, of course.

I utilize the "Wolf Method" as she outlined above.
Yeah bah humbug. This year my mom said us adults should draw names and of course all buy for the kids. I'm all for that! It's the little ones that make my Christmas, anyway! Buying for three girls age 3-8 is sooooo fun, especially since I have taken it on myself to be their book giver, to encourage them to love reading. I got a beauty of a Wizard of Oz pop-up book at the shop at the LA public library a couple years ago.

monster volunteered to be the address randomizer and giver-outer. anyone who wanted to be involved sent her a mailing address (and name if they wanted) by a certain date, then she sent everyone a pm.
i forget how we picked the theme, but i'd like to suggest a celler-64 for that this year. anyone want to be the randomizer this year? i'll do it if monster doesn't want to again, and you trust me with your info

You go for it, Labbers! Thanks. It's not that I don't want to, I'm just seriously busy, so if you do, that's cool with me.

But it was optional, because there's only so many ways to give someone a rooster. I liked picking something very suited to the person I got, so I object to mandatory themes as too constraining.

I'm fine with theme or no theme...but what is field of 64?  I was born in 64, but in a hospital, not a field. As far as they've told me.
