Thanks for everyone that participated in the Secret Santa this year. We had 36 people which I thought was a decent number for the first year. Hopefully we can make it bigger and better next year. Please leave comments below if you have some other ideas on how to make this more fun. One thing that I was a little to vague on was the revealing of identities. I'll be more upfront next year. I thought it would be best for the senders to reveal since many people that joined were newer to the blogging community. Might be a good way to get noticed by the masses. Either way we can discuss this and more below.
Here is a list of all those who participated this year. I'll add a link to the names to those who posted about it. If you didn't receive cards please shoot me an email and I'll see what went wrong. If I missed your post leave a comment below and I'll update accordingly.
