I don`t know what it is but I can be three.:D
The TORTOISE is, indeed, as Jane says, the Cold Dark Room version of Secret Santa.
The thing is that because we nearly all come from different countries or US States you will know as soon as the package arrives who it's from. So not very secret.
So it's Totally Obvious Really The Origin Is Sure Enough. TORTOISE.
We buy a gift up to a maximum value of say £25 or Euros or Dollars, but you must remember there will be international postage on top of that.
Once we have all our players, Zak draws the names out of my Fes and i will individually post you the person to whom you will be sending a gift.
Then we each post a list of a dozen or so things we like, to help the shoppers. And thinks you hate if you want.
Then we buy the presents and post them.
Once everyone has received their gift we all take photos as we open them or just of the gifts we've been sent. You cannot open the gifts until I say. Last year I seem to remember Mooz and Lena were getting pretty impatient and trying to cheat. ;) I had to smack a few eager fingers.
We will open a day or two before Christmas because some people get a bit busy on the day itself.

Hi Sabine, I know it's a bit early but apparently its the CDRs version of secret Santa!
I'm starting early so we can get the max number of people before the names are drawn. :D:tort::)
Then present buying and posting.
One of the gifts arrived slightly late last year.

That`s what we do on the chicken forum too.
