Secret Santa, The Endless Forest Chapter!


Thank you to all that participated in this years Secret Santa. Smiling I hope you all join me next year!

-----

The holiday season is quickly approaching and I thought it might be a fun idea to host a Secret Santa in the TEF community.

What is Secret Santa?

"Secret Santa is a holiday tradition in which members of a group are randomly assigned other members to whom they anonymously give a gift. It offers a way for many people to give and receive a gift at low cost to those involved."

How do I participate?

Participation is closed now, thank you for your interest!

When does it start and end?

The Secret Santa starts NOW!!! Please keep who you have a secret until christmas day. It is advised that you finish your gift by the 21st. If you are mailing the gift, make sure you have calculated how much time you will need for shipping.

How do I send my gift?

If your gift does NOT need to be mailed, you may send the it as a note, email and/or upload it to the community website if it is art.

If your gift must be mailed, please message me (email me clicking here) and I will give you your persons address. DO NOT make gifts that need to be mailed if the person is not giving out their address. To check if the person you are giving a gift to is accepting mailed gifts, check in the comments below, or in the forum comments.

When you do send your gift, please send me an email/message letting me know that you have sent your gift, so I can keep track of who has not given their gift.

Remember, you have made a commitment, and realize that failing to send a gift will disqualify you from any future events, if you do not have a legitimate reason. Everyone must send a gift in order to receive one.

In Conclusion...

1. Sign up.
2. Get your Secret Santa.
3. Make your gift.
4. Send your gift on Christmas day (or around then).
5. Let me know you have sent your gift.
6. Receive your gift!

Please do not feel obligated

Please do not feel obligated to send gifts through the mail, and don't feel like your gift is less then anyone elses. The holiday spirit is about sharing and caring, not a competition of who gives the best gift. Just do your best and the person you give the gift will know how much they mean to you!

Hey, Jen, I've got an idea

Hey, Jen, I've got an idea for people with DeviantArt accounts: people can use the wish list feature there to buy items, too. -shrugs- Dunno if you want to add that to the list of gift giving ideas.

And is there a deadline you want people to reply to this by? I'd like to participate, but I'd have to see if I'd be able to dedicate the time necessary for it ...

That might be a good idea.

That might be a good idea. People would need to link me to their wishlist and I could post a link next to their name.

And at the latest, the deadline will be November 30th. However I'm thinking about being it up more so people can get started on their gifts earlier.

"Please keep who you have a secret until christmas day."

Like the email says, try reading the persons blog to see if their deer has a bio, or some fanart you can use as a reference.

If you really need help, feel free to email me and I can pry for information.
