Dear Santa
I’ve been a VERY ___________ boy/girl (choose one) this year, so I feel like I have earned all of the __________ that I will probably get for Christmas from all my family and friends.

But I also want video games.

If I could get just one box of video games and/or video game related items with a total combined value of at least $20 before shipping costs, I would hope that the box would have___________ in it.

And I would prefer that it didn’t have any __________ in it.

Since I am a responsible collector, my entire collection has been meticulously entered on rfgeneration.com so that you can see what I already have.  You can also check my wishlist to see what I really want more than anything in the whole wide __________.

Please remember to send out my domestic package by December 10th or my international package by December 1st so that I don’t receive my package late and have to resort to _________________ on Christmas morning.

Thank you, Santa!

Sincerely
(RFGen User Name)

A note on writing your letter

As far as your wishlist goes, Be as specific as you want or as general as you want just remember that the more options you give your Santa, the easier you will be to shop for.  Say things like:

I would like any NES carts not already in my collection

or

I would love to get some spare controllers for NES, SNES, Genesis, or Saturn.

or

I would really like to get any of the following SNES games: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, etc.

Add as much room as you need, you don't have to say what you would like to get in just a few words.


Step 3
Once it arrives, or on Christmas morning, post pics of your Secret Santa package here (and in Small Scores if you like)

The MINIMUM value of the items you must send to your Secret Santa is $20. You may give more if you choose, but $20 is the minimum.  There have been issues in years past with people feeling a little short changed so if you are unsure about what you are sending, give a little more, after all, it’s Christmas!

Due to the scams of years past, The RFGen Secret Santa 2013 is available to established RFGen members only If you are a newer member and would like to participate, send me a pm first and we will make decisions on a case by case basis.  Having an established member vouch for you will go a long way in the decision to approve your participation.



Participating Members

a bold member name signifies that Santa has received and reviewed your letter and no further action is necessary.  Please allow a few days from when you send your letter for your name to turn bold.

You know I'm in.

EDIT:
I'll personally volunteer to match up with someone international - actually prefer it. 
My wife's in as well (Diedraneous). She's been asking when we'll start it up for the past couple weeks.

You got it!  I wanted to wait until at least Nov 1st so we didn't steal any of Halloween's thunder.  Last year's didn't start until Nov 12 so we are ahead of the curve this year.

Sign me up! Im ok for international as well. Now I have to get my collection updated again.

Crabby, you reminded me I have to re-add 2,000 games in the next 2-3 weeks into my collection.

[Fleach]

I've been wondering when this would start up again. I'll join the fun.

I'm in the same boat. My collection on here currently consists of about 250 NES games and nothing else. Its going to be tough to find time, but I'm going try and get it updated to make things easier on my SS partner.

i'm in!

[thegreatska]

I think i'll try this out this year! 

[singlebanana]

Let's do this. In.

[Fleach]

Just to clear things up: what does the line "And I would prefer that it didn’t have any __________ in it." refer to?

Is that just anything a person doesn't want?

[slackur]

In of course.  Intl is fine.  I look forward to this every time.
