Yipee! SASS! Hi Santa! I'm a rapidly aging married ladygoon with two goons in training, two cats, a snake, and some squirrels and raccoons that live in my backyard that don't know they're my pets, but they ARE. I would love anything interesting from your part of the world, but if you need more help, some things I enjoy (in no particular order): Beetlejuice, Goonies, Pearl Jam (I am forever stuck in the late 80s as evidenced by my extensive flannel collection), What We Do in the Shadows, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Disneyana, tiki culture (I love shag and Jeff Granito). Favorite colors are red, black, rose gold, and teal. Santee, Get your epipen ready. Bees are coming.

Signed up. Dear Santa, I could really use some Christmas cheer this year, 2020 kinda really sucked, and no I'm not going into details. Get me whatever, make me whatever, spend or don't spend any amount of money you want. I just want to feel your love deep inside me. Tee size XL. Just me and my fat dog Pork Chop. Santee, beware.

I'm in! Again! I don't even remember how many years it's been for me. SANTA I am 43, and here's some stuff I like: The Aquabats!, RiffTrax (I have a podcast about it lol), Nintendo Switch, Metalocalypse, What We Do in the Shadows, and other. SANTEE: I'm currently in isolation/quarantine because I have the Rona. My gifts for you this year will probably just be very straightforward, and nothing super fun or creative because I can't go get stuff. So you're going to get your bees straight from the source.

Yasss!!!! I'm way too excited for this. I'll register later and update my post with info because I'm pretty sure I didn't post since last SASS. EDIT: I promised I would update this. Dear Santa I am a 33 year old woman living with her boyfriend and 2 cats. My hobbies are mostly playing Lord of the Rings Online, baking and cooking. Also love to travel, but there's this virus that's keeping us from going places for now. We also noth love the old game consoles (Nintendo 64 and older). I would LOVE some tasty things from the area that you're from. I am no longer into ponies, that was a mistake I made a long time ago and haven't gotten around to fixing the drat avatar.

I look forward to this every year. Sometimes it’s the best part of my holiday. I’ve been doing SASS every year since 2006 except for one year when I missed signups. 😩 I’m an almost 37 year old lady goon (my birthday is next month!  ) I have two cats and would love some things for them. I like horror movies, Halloween, and year-round spookiness. I like arts and crafts and theatre. I used to make props for theatre productions and really miss it. Currently I’m a Starbucks barista, so if I’m your Santa, expect some coffee in your gift unless you mention you don’t like coffee in your SASS post. 😂 I’d love to get regional items from where my Santa lives and/or handmade items. I’d rather not get any clothing items unless it’s accessories like socks because I don’t really know what size I am. My size ranges from L-2X depending on the brand. I do love novelty socks though. I collect Funko Pops and try to find Pops of all the characters I’ve been for Halloween costumes in the past (Sam from Trick r Treat, Zoltar, Cruella, Trixie Mattel, Seymour from Little Shop, etc). I’d love more horror themed ones. I also like Tiki stuff and collect Tiki mugs. I’m also fond of mid-century modern design and love retro kitschy things, the weirder the better. If I’m your Santa I will send you some things from my little California mission town. And I will do my best to find you things that you’ll like as well. I hope you post a little about yourself here but I also like to communicate through the SASS website as well.

Yay! I’d been worrying all month that SASS might not happen this year. EDIT: Dear Santa, I would love something homemade and/or whatever fun/quirky/weird local stuff you can find. My sole “do not want” is artificially scented stuff, as I tend to be allergic and get migraines. Natural scented stuff is ok though (like, if you send me a bag of pine needles from a famous local tree I will probably be fine. Not that I’m requesting that specifically.).

Some of the coolest stuff I’ve received was from my Santa’s local area like food, beer (although it is technically illegal to send this in the mail), other trinkets. Last year my Santa lived in the Seattle area. I told them that I liked weird stuff, Tiki, Funko pops and they got me a bunch of weird stuff from Archie McPhee and a tiki themed Funko Pop. Both companies are both based out of the Seattle area. You should definitely sign up! It one of the most fun things I do every year. Most goons post in this thread what they like so you have an idea of what to get. Plus you can anonymously contact your Santee through the SASS site to ask them more questions if they don’t post in this thread. If for some reason they don’t give you anything to go on, just get them whatever you think is cool.

You ever walk through a store and see something and think, "huh, that's weird." Or "neat?" That's the perfect thing. People posting what they like are just general guidelines that may inspire an idea or a list to be checked against. Just because someone is like, "I'm 35 and 361 days old, and I like animal skulls" doesn't mean you have to worry about finding a skull. As long as you send something. Edit: also I'm 35 and 361 days old and I totally do like animal skulls and oddities and stuff. Just puttin' that out there for Santa if they happen to see this.

Well, despite being on this site for over a decade, I've never actually gotten around to participating in Secret Santa. Figured it was time. To my Santa, I'm cantorsdust and I'm a physician in my thirties. I'm a big nerd who likes math and video games and socialism. My wife is also a physician and slightly less of a nerd who likes cooking and gardening. We have 2 black cats who are the best and the worst. I hope you have fun as Santa!

I was worried this was canceled this year. I need to count back how many years I've been doing this, but I know it goes back to at least 2009 or 2010. I'm a queer lady-goon married to another nerdy lady. We live in a rental home, and being in a house of my own for the first time as an adult, I'm pretty into holiday house and outdoor decorations. If you send before Christmas, Christmas decorations are good. If it's slated to get here later, then that's still good but maybe some other random holiday decorations you have? Easter? President's Day? Whatever. General yard games or decorations are good too. We have two six-year old cats (both ~16lbs) that love flyer toys with the real bird feather ends or kicker toys. We got a precious two-year old Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua dog back in September, so clothes for a 10-lbs Chorkie dog, or very small dog toys, are probably the best gift. We're trying to make a baby, but I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready to have baby stuff around until we actually conceive. So yeah, pet toys/clothes or seasonal yard decorations are ideal. Santee - sometimes I'm not very good at the pre-Christmas deadline, but I'll try my best!

I sort of pictured goons opening parcels only to have swarms of bees blast forth. While I think of it-- like the rest of the thread, I'm a mid 30's goon. I like, well, lots of things; our family (two dogs, non-goon wife, two young proto-goon kids) gets through a lot of tea and coffee, and I like reading and making art, music, and weird tiny books and board games. If you want to make me a thing, that'd be amazing, and if you want to send me the very tackiest local postcard you can find, that will be amazing too. If you need clothing sizes, I am a scrawny dude.

Oh sweet I've been looking for this thread... first SASS was 2 years ago, was on a break from the forums last year, but I'm excited to do this! Santa: late 40s  ladygoon living with my goon partner. I'd love to get most anything really. Handmade at any skill level is a-ok too. I'm a librarian into board/video games, kitsch, crafts (beading and cross stitch in particular but open to all). I'd love something regional. Food/drinks - a cider-loving vegetarian. We just bought a house this past spring. My partner is really into tea and miniatures. NSFW is fine, my mail carrier thinks I'm weird anyway. Santee: I sense bees and malort are in your future. nashona fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Nov 20, 2021 |

Thanks Tiaz! Almost a copy/paste from last year with the ages edited because I'm a lazy bitch: I'm a 40 year old goon living in The Netherlands with my wife and 5 y/o daughter. My wife is into this as well. We'd appreciate any stuff from your region of the world like snacks, candy etc. I'm a typical goon that likes science, gaming and geek stuff. I work mostly from home nowadays. My wife is a teacher on a primary school and likes Spanish and South-American culture/language stuff and my daughter loves Disney princesses and the usual stuff girls like. Go hog wild! (no NSFW or 420 plz; I'd like to involve my daughter a bit in the "mystery package").

Dear Santa, I am half of a couple living in the desert with an elderly rescue chinchilla who we love. We are in our late thirties, I'm an artist and my other half is an engineer, and we both enjoy weirdness. Big ACNH fans, love stationary and paper goods, I sew and I will gladly take your weird fabric scraps. Fave colors are red, golden yellow, or navy. We are both voracious readers, and we have also recently purchased our first house. We have a whole vintage vibe going on with a healthy sprinking of robots around (both real and art-kind). Charlie (the chinchilla) is on a pretty strict diet due to health issues, but small animal chew toys are her fave - sticks, willow balls, pumice stone, etc. Basically, any gift you send will be appreciated by one or all of us and we will have a grand time opening it! Even BEES! PS - We also might be getting a niece for the holidays. So if you want to kick in something for a seven year old girl who is being adopted from a pretty heartbreaking home life, that would be great. Even if something does happen and the adoption doesn't go through, we can still give her the gift. Dear Santee, FFS, please write a Santa letter in this thread! I have all kinds of desert/bee related things to send to you, but I can make it way better if I read your words. I also message through the site promptly as soon as the assignments go up, so check your messages. BONUS: Here is a Charlie proof of life photo our pet-sitter took while we were on a trip to visit family last year.

Dearest Snatter, This is my first SASS, somehow, I think. I love connecting with people! I live with my partner and our needy cat. I have an anthropology degree and adore learning about different places and people. I collect taxidermy, have a bunch of tattoos, like eating good food/drinking good drinks and enjoy live music and festivals. I also enjoy travel and am so fed up with the pandemic making that difficult! I usually take an L in mens/unisex shirts, if that was an option on your mind. I'm a little baby gardener, having moved last year to a place with a garden for the first time since I left home. My favourite colours are purple/blue/pink/black/teal... I think that's enough about me. Send me anything, really! It's awesome to give and to receive. Not gonna lie about the receiving bit.

Glad you're making my dreams come true again, tiaz + goons! Happy SASSmas to all. Dear Santa, I love to receive local things, especially chocolates, snacks and knickknacks. I also enjoy reading but haven't read much in the past year so a book would also be good. Really the only thing I don't want is tee shirts or art / prints. I will be a gracious recipient of whatever you send. If you're bold enough to send beer, I love trying craft beers - especially sours. One of my hobbies is sending postcards, if you send some unique ones I would like that too! Dear Santee, You're gonna love it.
