Secret Santa 2014! {Closed}

AfterTheStorm · 2014-12-09T00:58:24Z

@Lumi cleared his throat and began to read, “'Twas a few weeks before Christmas when all through the site Everyone was buzzing, even freakforchrist; Reviews were being written by YWSers with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there…” There was an awkward pause. @Elinor%20brynn stepped on stage. “Santa? That’s your cue!” She waved the script above her head, frantically looking around for any sign of a rather large man sporting this season’s hottest shade of red. Eli muttered something under her breath that sounded like, “I knew we should have used the monkeys,” when another mod suddenly burst onto the scene. “Santa is on hold back at the workshop and can’t make enough gifts for everyone on YWS!” @Aley exclaimed. “What are we going to do?” _____________________________________________________________________ Santa C needs our help this Christmas. Stat. Help out this holiday season by giving gifts to a randomly selected user here on our very own YWS! How do I get started? Simply sign up on this thread, and you will be assigned to a random receiver who also joined this gift-giving extravaganza. Please only sign up if you absolutely know you will be able to participate. What kind of present should I send? Don’t limit yourself. :D Feel free to write a short story, make a personalized soundtrack, draw some artwork, etc. Once you are notified of your intended receiver, go ahead and check out their answers to the quiz below. Personalized gifts are always the best, but don’t stress. If all you can do is send a nice review or funny gif and message, great! The idea here is to show you care and to make someone’s holiday season special.  Have fun! When and how can I ship off my present? Starting on December 16th, you can send your present in a PM to Santa C . He can then distribute out your gift to the correct person. Please ship your present before December 30th! To allow your Secret Santa to get to know you a bit better, please fill out as many questions of the following “quiz.” [b]What are some of your favorite books?[/b] [b]What are a few notable hobbies of yours?[/b] [b]What’s your favorite color?[/b] [b]What are a few of your favorite movies, television shows, video games, etc.?[/b] [b]What is your favorite music genre?[/b] [b]Where do you spend the most time on YWS?[/b] [b]Anything else you’d like to add:[/b] Note: If you have not received anything by December 30th, please let one of the moderators know. The last day to sign up on this thread is December 15th . You should receive a PM from Santa C containing your person’s name around December 16th . Your gifts can be sent to the big guy any time between the moment you learn your recipient and December 31st ! The date of the big reveal will be announced shortly. :D Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Thank you!

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations

Tomorrow was yesterday. Are we going to find out?

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations

Thank you to my Secret Santa for the Lindsey Stirling song (which was awesome!) and that adorable cat GIF!

We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

Thank you secret santas for the lovely handwritten poem/letter and for the mad lib.

I loved them, and whoever wrote me the poem, you have such lovely handwriting.

Sorry about that! Someone told me that the idea of "Secret Santa" was to keep the Santas a secret, but I think it's fun to find out who gave you the gifts.

I was waiting for their response, and that's why I was a bit late in posting this.

Merry Christmas, @Zolen and @Shinethroughthedark! I was your Secret Santa that made you each a collage of your favorite things. ^-^ Hope you two had a wonderful holiday and have a great New Year!

Post a message tagging those you gave gifts to below.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the giving festivities!
