Secret Santa!

First topic message reminder :

So, every year on the Monster High forum I moderate, we do a Secret Santa celebration.

No, no, no, we don't send each other stuff-- that would be bad for multiple reasons. But instead, we draw, write, or make a card for someone!

Like, let's say we have three people participating. (We always have way more, don't worry, three is just an easy number for an example... this year we had 19.) I'm gonna call these three people Tim, Carla, and Melody.

Melody would be assigned Carla by random. That means Melody can really, make anything for Carla that they think she would like. Like let's say Carla has a Winx original character. Melody can draw it, or write a fanfiction about it. Or maybe Melody wants to make a card with some Winx graphics, or pose her Winx dolls holding a card she's made and take a picture for Melody. (Don't include yourself in this picture.)

But see, Carla wouldn't know that Melody's been assigned to her, because Carla may be assigned to Tim! Same thing for what she can do. And Tim would be assigned to Melody, not knowing that Carla's been assigned to him. Basically, you give something, you get something.

Sometime either on Christmas, on Christmas Eve, or during the week before Christmas, we'll all give our gifts to who we're assigned to! Don't tell them beforehand that you're their Santa though, it has to be a surprise or else it's not as fun.

So how it would work here is anyone who wants to be part of it would write a reply here. Ask any questions they have, etc etc. Then on December 15th, the deadline to sign up, I'll go through the list, pair everyone up using a random generator, and then send out Private Messages telling everyone who to do it for.

You don't have to celebrate Christmas to do this-- it's just a fun little activity, not religious.

If it turns out you sign up and you can't do it, then you have to tell us sometime before the 20th, so we can get someone to fill in for you. Don't sign up if you don't think you can do it though.

If you have any questions be sure to ask them here! I hope we get a lot of participants this year, because it always helps bring the community closer together when we do this.

I'm in, I'm already working on something. But whoever I get, just know that I'm still learning photo shop and I have to get my husband to help me with the really fancy stuff.

If you were going to take that option you would have to either scan it or take a picture and PM it to them. For obvious reasons you wouldn't be able to send the physical cards to them, just a virtual one Razz
