We are officially and unofficially [B][U][I]closed![/I][/U][/B] I have no new states to add to our list, but there are 51 participants total. If any of you are wondering how I determined the SS order, here's a small look behind the curtain: I used [URL]https://www.random.org/lists/[/URL] I originally waited until I had at least 10 participants to begin. I randomized that list and sent out just 3 names to the first three who signed up.

That way, those who first joined may not necessarily be gifting or receiving gifts from that same group. For an example, the 29th person to sign up is the SS for the 3rd person to sign up. This helps ensure complete random assignments and should hopefully make it harder to find out who your Secret Santa is. I know some of you really enjoy trying to figure it out.
