it's secret santa time again:

"Beep beep!" goes the Yule alarm and from his deep robotic slumber, Secret Santa awakes once more!

The idea of Secret Santa is very simple - you pull a name out of a hat and buy that person a present. Your name is in the hat as well, so someone buys you a present too! Everyone gets a present! Everyone's happy!

To use Secret Santa, all you need is a wishlist* at Amazon. First you tell Santa about yourself. Then on December 10th you will be told who you're buying a gift for. And by Christmas Day, everyone has a sparkly present to open!

Santa is a member of the "Holy Sprocket Church of the Sprained Clutch" - but don't worry, you don't have to convert. You can give and receive presents to celebrate Hannukah, Kwanza, Christmas or "secret holiday gift-giving robot day"...

your wishlist has to have some things priced at 15 bucks or below, so your secret santa has something affordable to choose from. i did this last year and it was a lot of fun. and i got a buzzcocks cd out of the deal to boot!
