Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas Everyone!

Elf Spark here to announce Christmas 2013's Secret Santa!

Santa C has asked his helpers on the mod squad to help distribute presents this year! But he needs your help too! He can't get around to making all the presents for the good little girls and boys, so he wants you to pitch in by giving gifts to a randomly selected receiver!

How does it work?

All you have to do is sign up on this thread! And then, wait for December 11th to roll around, when you can start distributing your gifts!

How can my gifts be sent anonymously?

Forward your gift and who the intended receiver is in a PM to Santa C! Santa will then make sure it gets sent along to your person.

What kinds of gifts should I send? How many should I send?
Any gift you want! Whether it is a poem or a piece of art, anything goes! One gift per person, please! You can make it as big as you want though, so go crazy!*

What if I don't know my person?

To make sure people know their person a little bit, just fill out the little questionnaire below.
