[Freezair]

Pfft. You guys think I'd forget you? Nerrrrds.

IMPORTANT NOTE BECAUSE FREEZY DERPED:


So as it turns out, I made a bit of a boo-boo in the PMs I sent out to everyone. I forgot to include one of the most important instructions for the Secret Santa: You must PM me after you send your gift! Otherwise I won't know you sent it! I've already gotten one person asking me if we were still doing that this year, and yes, we are. Thank you, loves. <3

-Evelon Secret Santa 2015!-

-How This Event Works (Thank Goodness for Copypaste)-

1. You sign up by posting below! Yep, that's all you have to do. If you want to be extra helpful, provide a link to your wishlist as well. But this isn't necessary.

2. Once the signup period is over, I will put all of the names of the people who have signed up into a hat (literally; I use my Santa hat for this) and draw them out one at a time. Through this random draw, every person on the list will be assigned a Secret Giftee. They are that person's Secret Santa. Their job is to find that person a gift!

3. By hook or by crook, you, the Secret Santa, obtain your gift for your Secret Giftee! But because it's a secret Santa, you keep your identity a secret from that person. In other words, don't tell them who you are until you find that person's gift!

4. Send your gift to your Secret Giftee and reveal yourself! And they'll be all happy 'n' stuff. In the meantime, someone else will be your Secret Santa, and you'll receive a gift from them!

It really is that simple.

-RULES! (Let's hope I didn't leave in any references to past years this time!)-

1. Post in this topic to sign up. You will have until WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16th to sign up! After this date, SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED!

2. I will send you the name of your Secret Giftee in a PM. Once you receive this PM, please PM me back to confirm you have gotten it. (This instruction will be repeated in the PM itself.)

3. Once you receive your Secret Giftee, you may not tell them who they are! Remember, it's a secret!

3. You may give your giftee a gift any time after getting their name. Once you send your Giftee a gift, you MUST PM me saying that you've given them a gift. Otherwise I won't know that you've done it! And you'll get in trouble for not making the deadline...

5. The deadline for gift-giving this year is Monday, January 4th, 2016. You MUST send out your gifts by this date! If for some reason you feel you will not be able to make the date, PLEASE PM me and explain why! I'm generally pretty forgiving when it comes to excuses, especially given how busy this time of year is. But I also know lame excuses when I see one! (Also, if your Secret Santa is going to be late, I'll send you a PM telling you about it. Don't want to leave you in the dark!)

6. You MUST give your giftee SOMETHING. No skimping out! Everyone who gets something also have to give something. It's like Christmas Karma. And just in case you get to thinking, "Oh, Freezair isn't a mod, she can't get us if we don't give anything," know that this counts as a contract just like breeding restrictions do. You will get in trouble if you don't send anything! Don't make me use this. *points to tinsel-decorated red-and-green Bat of Semi-Rule Enforcement*

7. Please try to find your Giftee a NICE gift. I know not everyone has the same resources and not everyone can purchase a whole bunch of dazzling customs for all their friends. However, around this time of year, the mods do open up numerous "gift shops" specifically to help people find gifts! Seasonal Specialties giftboxes are usually appreciated, and many years we've had a "gift custom" shop. Try to keep your wishlist updated with a few easier-to-find things for the benefit of those people who can't afford mega-customs. Remember that it's ultimately the thought that counts!

8. ABSOLUTELY NO WHINING. None. No whining about the gift you got, no whining about how the person you have to gift to is not your favorite person in the world, and definitely no giving bum gifts because you don't like your Giftee! Whining results in an immediate permanent ban from ALL Secret Santas, this and any future SS's. If you feel that you have something to complain about--if you feel like your gift had no real thought put into it, or if your Secret Santa has been late (and you didn't receive a PM telling you about it from me)--then I ask that you please PM me discreetly instead of raising hullabaloo about it in the forums. We can then discuss it and decide what to do about it, depending on the nature of your problem. So far, we haven't had any real problems since I first implemented the "no whining" rule officially, but I am prepared should the need arise!  

9. Oh rats. I need a secret word. Ummm... uuhhh... socks. Yup. Like Christmas stockings. Or warm slipper socks you wear to keep your tootsies warm. Yup. Let's.. fill one another's socks with presents!

[Kyrit]

Sign me up, Freezie-pop! I was actually just wondering the other day if you'd be hosting again. =D

Wishlist is in the signature and is a bit out of date, but I'll try to get it updated soon. I'm pretty easy to please, but please don't give me socks. I really hate wearing socks.
