Have you been naughty or nice this year?
And is it worth $12 to find out?

I'm kind of thinking it might be.

Yeah, the ticker on the site seems to be moving at a steady pace. Better hurry and get your bullshit before it's too late.

Went ahead and got one. I wonder how much of the $12 is just the cost of shipping 12 things. I'm imagining at least some of the things are something that fits in an envelope (like a spare CAH card).

They're also currently doing an AMA on reddit:

Oh I was just enjoying that AMA.

And I think it all fits in envelopes based on the FAQs about Canadian prices

Good sleuthing. Even then, it's still pretty amazing they're doing 12 for $12. Good buzz for them.

FAQ page:
"Are you making any money on this?"
"No, it’s incredibly irresponsible."

Now where have I heard that before...

Yup, just forked over $12 to experience the BS first hand. Far more exciting than a yankee swap...but why?

Is Yankee Swap one of the thousand names for White Elephant?

And I like the idea that we could swap our crap. How's that for ecommerce experiments... send everyone 12 items of crap, then release them to trade. Although the more I think about it, the results don't seem that interesting. In the end everyone just has crap. Unless someone broke through and made something valuable from the meaningless junk?

- It's a favorite term of Northeastern Yanks. I had actually not heard of white elephant before moving south.

- What if you had 100 awesome things, but you broke them into 12 pieces and made people find each other to build them back?

Pretty sure they just sold out of 100,000 slots in under 8 hours. Not bad.

Ooo how exciting. I actually signed my husband up for it unbeknownst to him.. I can't wait to see him to get the random crap in the mail.

Nothing yet, but I assume it was just delayed by the lovely ice that drove Dallas to a halt.

@natedogg828, I saw Max enjoying the consternation that the gifts were going to all just be cards.

I got my first delivery yesterday!

4 white cards and 1 black card. Along with a note about a hidden puzzle to solve over the next 11 days and some talk about how I gave $12 and my address to a bunch of strangers on the internet.

I got the coal today, but that's the first one. Never got the cards. If there's a hidden puzzle, it will forever remain hidden without the cards.
