I do hope it works out for you, I've been trying to get my family to have
even the slightest interest in something like this for ages!

My latest plan for drawing family members into the fold is offering them
personal blogs (Wordpress).

I usually use free webspace for posting secret Santa Christmas lists, we do a

everyone sends me their lists and I publish.  If you do something similar,
might be good for you.
