PGCCCLIX: Firm but…

My father always liked to think that he was firm but fair. I, on the other hand, only care about being firm. This is not a democracy. Everyone who signed up for the annual Secret Santa frivolity – drunk or otherwise – is now stuck with their commitment.

Secret Santa names were drawn by myself and Clom this morning and everyone’s been assigned someone. Sadly, I did not get back here early enough to send all the necessary emails, so it will now have to wait for tomorrow morning.

Stop making lame and crappy excuses and sign up for Secret Santa. Where’s your Christmas spirit, people?

I have extended the sign-up date to Friday. How hard can this be?
