Secret Santa 2019!

[Cyndi Kingsley]

We're in December and that means it is beyond time for Secret Santa sign ups to get under way! Please read on if you're not familiar with this event.

The goal of Secret Santa is to send someone a gift, but not have them know who it was from. Easy enough, right? The 'Secret' part adds an element of surprise for the holidays and who doesn't love a surprise present?!

To Participate:
Between now and the 5th of December, we are allowing sign-ups to take place for those of you whom are interested in sending someone else a gift. This is a very short turnaround so don't delay in signing up. Tell yo friends!

After the sign-up period, an exchange list will be created; and each of you shall be contacted with the name of your recipient. After you receive their name, you will have a few weeks to create a gift. This gift could be any one of a number of things, such as a signature banner; avatar; animated picture depicting your friendship; a song; a poem; or anything else your creative mind can think of. The limit does not exist.

Here is a link to last year's gifts to give you an idea.


This year, the deadline for sending me your gifts will be December 21st to allow time for behind the scenes work. On Christmas day (or Christmas Eve night), a topic will be posted to give you all your gifts, so you can shower your Secret Santa with love.


Can't submit?
During this gift exchange, we would like you to keep your recipient a secret. If you sign up to submit a gift, but somehow cannot do so within the given deadline, we would really like it if you inform us of this; preferably before the 18th of December, so we may use a fall-back option. If you fail to notify us, then, in the interest of fairness, you will automatically forfeit your own gift. None of us wish for this to happen, especially at Christmas; so please make sure to plan appropriately.


Signing up:
With all of that out of the way, sign-ups are open! Simply fill out the small set of questions. This will allow your Santa to get to know you a bit and have some ideas available to them. The more details you provide, the better it is for your Secret Santa!
