The actual gift exchange will be done on December 12-15 (Monday through Friday). Don't miss out on the fun!
For the "old timers", you know how this works and you know how much fun it is so go ahead and sign up.
For our newer members, you may not know about Santa Worm, but, trust me - it's great fun and a great way to get to know others at EA.
Here's how it works.
It's basically an on-line holiday gift exchange. Santa Worm (that's me) puts all the participant names in her santa hat (yes, I have one) and then assigns everyone a giftee. Your job is to send your giftee 5 fun gifts. You can send extravagent gifts, funny gifts, gag gifts (as long as they are not insulting or offensive) etc. Now before you start in with, "I'd love to but don't have the money" - this is the wonderful world wide Web! It's free. You send virtual gifts and you send them secretly. Then after the 5 days of giving, all the participants try to guess who sent gifts to them.
The way it works is that every day that week, you send me a PM. The Title of the PM should be "Monday's gift for "my giftee" (or Tues, wed, thurs, fri). Then, I will forward the gift for you - anonymously. Every day when you receive your gift, you post it in the daily thread so that everyone can see what everyone else got.
It's really a LOT of fun.
You can look at some of last years threads to see how it all works: Monday 12/6/04 thread Friday 12/10/04 thread 12/15/03 thread
It's not time consuming, it doesn't cost any money, it's GREAT fun, and you'll feel so left out if you don't participate - so sign up here and happy holidays to all!

Note: The Santa Worm gift exchange is non-religious. It is not specifically for Christmas, Hannukah, or Kwanza. It is open to everyone and is just a fun way to celebrate during the holiday season and to end the year with cheer. Please play.  |

Wormie, the final day post is from 2003, not last year. 
You know I'm in. Even though it is sheer torture for me. |

I'm in and I've already been told that sleeping with Santa doesn't mean I get to cheat.  |

Now why would that make you shudder? It would make me really mad, but not shudder.
Whoever gets Eris - a coffee gift basket might be appropriate. |

I've slept with Brian before. No big deal.
Of course, he was in one room and I was in another.

I was looking for last years' who had me thread so I could glean more info for guessing this year.
Wormie, HOW are you going to keep it secret from Brian?? I'm assuming he knows all the tricks and passwords. |

Guilt is the most powerful force in the universe.

ROFL  BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Brian does not peek on my computer.
Much of the Santa Worm stuff is done from the office.
If any is done at home - Brian is warned to leave the room or not look.
Brian doesn't want to anger Santa Worm. He doesn't want coal in his....um.....stocking.
