Good mornynoon, Splendiferous Santas! 

We're at thirty-six. 

Shall I alert some more, or do we wait for a bit and hope people drift by?

Looking back at the 2020 thread we had about the same amount of participants this time last year, so up to you. It's been up for a week, not sure how many people will drift by. No one seems to be complaining that you tagged them, give it a shot.

Not quite a week yet. 

No, no one has complained, but one or two seem to have ignored the alerts. 

A couple have said they're not participating this year for perfectly understandable reasons. 

Some have not been on the forum for a while, I'll PM them soon and hope they get an e-mail alert.

Good mornynoon, Silent Santas! :coffee:

There are Thirty-seven of you now. 

If any of you have any friends who you think would like to be Santa Claus, please give them a nudge.

I have been informed by @Bobby Rico that today is National Fossil Day in the USA. 

So Happy National Fossil Day, Santas! :santasmile:

Very glad to have you back again, Monica. 

I think you're the first Canadian Santa this year.  Canada.gif.a7b7edd189223d3dd13e71c51f4b201f.gif

Brilliant going be a crackerjack exchange I think. Here is a bit of a winters scene to  set a mood and entice the next player.

If you have the time can you say how many countries are in? I think it would be cool to see how many places around the globe are participating. We are one day ahead of last year, we didn't get to 43 until the 16th. :Jumping: Great work so far Adam, and everyone else who helped.
