Since we've done Thanksgiving and it's almost December it's about time to bring back Secret Santa, I think. We did it last year but for the new people who don't know, December 25 is Christmas which is usually celebrating by gift giving. The patron saint of the holiday is St Nicholas aka Santa Claus, who brings gifts for children. (Spoilers: those presents are actually bought by their parents.) A Secret Santa is a gift exchange where everyone who participates gets the name of one other person and anonymously buys that person a present. So everyone gets one, but they don't know who it's from unless that person chooses to tell them. It's fun and a lot of workplaces or families do it to cut down on everyone having to buy presents for everyone else and spending all their money.

If you want to play, leave a comment or email me [ooc:you can just send me a list of characters if you don't want to comment for everyone]. On December 3 (next Monday) I'll do the assignments and tell you who you're buying for. Get your present to me by 5.30pm December 19 (a Wednesday) and I'll deliver them all.

If anyone disappears before the 19th, I'll jump in to make sure no one misses out, and in case I disappear I'll leave the list with a couple other people so they can handle it. If we get taken to another universe... I've got no fix for that, so let's hope we don't.

So to repeat important dates:

Sign up by December 3
Get a present to me by December 19

I missed Thanksgiving? Shit.

I'm in, why not?

By three days, which means if you're lucky someone might still have leftovers.

Well, that's something, I guess.

We've got some. We went pie crazy.

Does that mean you’re sharing? Cause otherwise that’s just mean.

Naturally, yes. I'm Max. My Roommate is Alice, and I'm pretty certain she won't mind sharing, but if she does, I'll bring you some at the coffee place.

Although, actually, you're still in quarantine? I could bring you a slice there tomorrow. Break up the time a little.

Hi, Max! I’m Rose. Still in quarantine. My friends Damon and Emme are here visiting, so would it be too greedy to ask for enough to share?

Not remotely. I'll bring like, half a pie? I think we can spare that.

I'll come by tomorrow.

But then what is everyone else going to eat?

I like you. I'll check if Alice has any plans for the full one.

Well, I’m super likable.

Thanks, Max. This is nice of you.

Yeah, no problem. It's a strange gig to wake up in.

Little bit, but it’s not my first time. Mostly quarantine is just still a pain in the ass.

Quarantine is always a pain the ass. We'll see what we can do to make it better for you.

Mostly, I just don't like being stuck in any room I can't get out of, but at least it won't be too much longer.

Nah, it doesn't exactly fly by, but it's at least not forever. I'll bring you that pie.

2017-11-27 02:42 am UTC (link)
Absolutely. The work put into something handmade can be worth more than a bought one anyway.

Is there a spending limit?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]nosuitnoservice
2017-11-27 03:03 am UTC (link)
No, but I'll say a suggested amount of around $20 and if anyone wants to go higher they can.

So we sign up and you give us a name, and we give them something?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]nosuitnoservice

Exactly. Easy as that.

But how do you know what the other person wants?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]nosuitnoservice
2017-11-27 06:04 pm UTC (link)
Obviously it works best if people make sure to talk on the network about the sort of things they're interested in. You could also ask around people who work or spend time with them.

Kinda like a pre-getting to know you getting to know you, huh?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]nosuitnoservice
2017-11-27 07:37 pm UTC (link)
Right. I know sometimes I've felt like if you don't get to know someone as soon as they arrive things get set and you sort of miss your chance.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tacticalgunner
2017-11-27 08:10 pm UTC (link)
That seems silly. There shouldn't be a time limit on getting to know people.

Wait. Santa's not real?

Well, he is where you're from.

[info]deathbenotproud
2017-11-27 06:29 pm UTC (link)
Yeah but we have a guy with the power to turn into ice cream where I'm from. We have a lower bar for "real"

I seem to recall a sentient street and a guy with eyes on his fingertips, but I think they were both a different universe. I think the most ridiculous thing we had was a trading card game that summoned monsters when you played their cards.

Kind of, actually.

[info]deathbenotproud

I guess we could have something kind of like that with magic

But I think we all have a pretty high bar for weird.

Most of us, yeah. I had a few surprises in the first few months but my perspective of the world has gotten pretty flexible in the last decade or so.
