Secret Santa

[Patricia Styx]

It’s that time of year again everyone and it won't be too long before Christmas is up-on us. So, to join in with the festivities, we here at Hogwarts New Zealand have decided to run a Secret Santa gift exchange program. For those of you who weren’t here for Secret Santa last year here’s a basic run down of what it is:

The main aim of Secret Santa is to send some-one a gift, but not have them know who it was from. And it is that simple. The 'Secret' part adds an element of surprise to Christmas, and we all like surprises here.

Taking part:

Between now and the 05th of December, we are allowing sign-ups to take place for those of you whom are interested in sending some-one else a gift. 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.

Ideally, the deadline will be December 18th to allow time for behind the scenes work, although some wiggle room will be available if I know beforehand. On Christmas day, a topic shall be made available; containing the gifts and who they are for. You will each then be free to glomp your Santa.

Can't submit?:

During this gift exchange, we would like you to keep your recipient a secret. As we mentioned, we like surprises. If you sign up to submit a gift, but some-how cannot do so within the given dead-line, we would really like it if you where to inform us of this; preferably before the 15th 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 now open. Simply fill out the small set of questions; which will allow your Santa to better design your gift. Once done, simply enjoy yourselves during the whole event.
