The pairing is done before Thanksgiving so you can go crazy with sales!

You can buy any time after you get your pairing. I just moved the sign up deadline a little later so people can still sign up until Nov 8th.

Creating the wishlist is the hardest part of the whole process - the rest is just fun.

The deadline is before Christmas day, both so people aren't checking their email and phones during christmas and because this is a secular gift exchange.
Most people just get books a little at a time during the exchange dates. You can give starting when you get your match until the deadline, which I think is December 19th.

Ha! I'm always adding to my elfster list!

Yeah, I have stayed completely away from that after I made mine. It took me all day to come up with mine, if I start checking other lists, mine will get ridiculous!

And there's books out later this month I'm really wanting.
Do people buy before Dec? I've only done this once before.

Whew, thank heavens I have none then ;-)

Not even close welcome to Club Zero Impulse Control.

Why yes it is and also club 'Ohhhh Pretty, me wants!'

I belong to this club!




Weeeell, that's kind of true? I don't know what possessed me to do it *curiosity killed the cat stuff* but I recently went back and pulled all my books expenses for the last 2 years and added it up. I was actually speechless. Goes without saying that I will never, EVER do such a thing again! :)
