Santa has a huge excel database, and every contact that you have with Santa (both incoming & outgoing) during this time is noted. All emails are also saved. It is IMPORTANT you keep in constant contact with Santa, until Santa emails you to say that your mission is complete.
Reminder Do NOT spoil it for others. If you have received your gift. Do NOT post saying so, email Santa so your Secret Santa can be told.
December 25 - A thank you thread will be created, where you can thank your Santa for the wonderful gift you have received, and tell the rest of the BellyBelly Community what you received.
Any questions please post.

So, in the adult/family category, is that just for me or DH? So I couldn't register for myself, DH and DD? If I were to register the three of us I'd be willing to purchase gifts for an entire family.

Thank you for letting me know. I have contacted Administration and hopefully it will be fixed soon. If you're desperate to send straight way please feel free to send the information via PM.

Hi Kaytee
You may send a registration per family member. So a registration for yourself, then another for your DH and another for your DD. If you choose this option you will need to purchase 3 gifts in return.
Some people submit an application for their family a.k.a Jones family. So the present they receive is something that the whole family can benefit from.
