What is protocol here? I have done some Secret Santas where we keep everything secret until you gift the item and then I have had some that keep it secret forever. What is normal here?

That's why you come here. You are welcomed here despite your being abnormal.I really don't think anything is normal on this site.Definition used
if you look at last years site, members posted what they received and thanked their secret santa. who then revealed themselves as the giver. Personally, i would like to thank the person from whom sent me the awesome gift!
Be careful, Bob. Folks will begin to think you actually have a sense of humor!!! LOL J/KI really don't think anything is normal on this site.

Very true.And I suggested elfster purely for selfish reasons. I want Jerome as my secret santa. I hear he sends photos of himself dressed as santa along with the gifts.
To my dear Secret Santa: I realize that I have a schizophrenic approach to collecting. I have been trying to focus more, but I realize I am just a mess.
So some help if you need it:
I started collecting UK 1sts this year and only have Finders Keepers x 2, From a Buick 8, Revival, Gerald's Game, Skeleton Crew, Thinner, and BOBD on the way. Lots of room there.
I bought my first UK proof this year (Revival), and it is the only UK proof I own.
I also collect from many other "weird" authors--the big ones being Joe Hill, Richard Matheson, and Ray Bradbury.
I don't know if this helps or not, but there you go. I'm sure I'll get something cool. I'm just so happy that I can participate this year!!!
Just saw that folks are posting hints for their Secret Santa, so ...
Dear Secret Santa - I've been relatively good all year, depending who you ask and what you're using as a reference point. I'm easy to shop for because I collect so muchcrapinteresting stuff ... I love remarques, proofs and S/Ls (see collection thread); I'm a huge WWII history buff (especially Battle of the Bulge-related); I read Italian so Italian SK books are good (and can be shared with my wife, so I get bonus credit); other authors I enjoy (and collect) are Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Hugh Howey; huge Beatles fan (sitting here humming Get Back, as a matter of fact); love old movie posters; love old books; and am looking for a F/F signed proof of The Martian right now (great book if you haven't read it). If you're the cookie-baking type, you're my kind of Santa. George
WANT LIST: Any SK #186; Dark Man Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Black Tape Spine Proof; FDNS Unbound Color Proof
I've also updated my collection thread with a few Secret Santa ideas.

I received my Secret Santa present already!!
If you are wondering who sent it, well all I can say is Mazel Tov!
Thank you very very much, and I think this may not be all... I had an email from Jeff saying that my new slipcase I requested was already paid for by a 'secret santa'
My gifts went to the post office today, hopefully the recipient will have them next week some time.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
What a thoughtful gift. Very nice Simon!I received my Secret Santa present already!!
