Welcome, Monkeys, to the Ridemonkey Secret Santa 2020: Coronavirus Edition. Please read the entire post, as some things have changed.
Have you been a good boy or girl this year? Have you quarantined to the point that that you are indistinguishable from the hobos drinking wine out of bags under the highway overpass? Are you considering buying a typewriter and striking up conversations with imaginary bartenders?
Well congratulations, you deserve a CoronaGift - the most effective way to deliver virus particles across state lines!
This year will be a tiny bit different: between the inability to shop locally and the USPS being a little less predictable, I'm going to ask that all packages be postmarked (not delivered) by Christmas Eve. I hope that gives people a little more leeway in their shopping and shipping.
Interested but don't know what to expect? Check out past threads to see discussion and photos of the gifts!
