I suggest we get back to the topic at hand before this thread, which Ots started out of the kindness of her heart, for all good intentions of making us happy and sharing our mutual joy of fitness and workout videos, gets shut down.

That would be an awful thing.

Thanks everyone. Hugs. We're all going through a lot in our own ways. It can be a very depressing time of year for many, please let's let it go and get back to Zooming and sharing good intentions.

I for one would like to join in on the Zoom!

Yay Pat!!

Simple solution….if you don’t like it, don’t participate.

I love the idea of a zoom call. Did one last year with some check in buddies & it was fun.

Yes! :heart:

I'm not into zoom and can never seem to commit to the deadlines of the gift exchange but I do enjoy reading everyone's wish lists, etc. and learning more about everyone. Sometimes it even turns out I have something on someone's wish list that I'm ready to let go of or something similarly serendipitous happens.

Sherry you have always been the best elf and have helped me in the past connect with people participating in the exchange behind the scenes, but I totally understand if you are unable to play elf this year (or any year). No explanation necessary. :heart:

I remember being your Secret Santa very well. I had a lot of fun that year. I had forgotten I was your first. :p

I've enjoyed being people's Secret Santa every year. Stalking people to find out more about them has been a highlight of my holiday season. :D

So, getting back to the purpose of the thread -

Who's in this year?

I sent my email in! :D

I would join in on the exchange except I do not need one single thing!

However, I'm actively purging so if I see anything on the wishlists that I have, I will offer it up. :)

I've participated in the gift exchange every year since I started posting in 2016, but ever since one of my Secret Santas (Lora aka Lorajc) passed away two years ago, I decided to do it every year simply in memory of her.

And yes! I would love a Zoom get together.

I already mailed Anne about to participate again. I always enjoy shopping as secret Santa and reading about how everyone enjoy there presents. It also make me connect to people on VF which I love and also getting to know everyone better.

I also like to join the Zoom session so I can see everyone which is great because I live in Europe.
