SECRET SANTA PROJECT!!!
Hello there and Happy Holidays! I'm the Secret Santa Elf aka the SS Elf, and this is Secret Santa: CB Edition.
I know there's a White Elephant game going in right now on C@C, but I figured we could use even more holiday spirit. I was surprised nobody had done this yet. I also really wanted to do it because I've never actually been part of a Secret Santa on the CB or on real life. I figured this would be a fun treat for everyone!
*****
Here's how it will work:
1. Join under an alias. You don't need to do anything yet. Make sure your alias is one you have not used in a recent SI or in the white elephant game. Your alias can be holiday-related or not.
2. Don't guess anybody yet. (That includes me.)
3. Once we have a good amount of people, around two or three pages I think, I will pair everyone up randomly (including myself). On my official list, the name in front is the one that is the secret Santa. Let's call the second person their match.
Ex. Reindeer: Nameless CBer
Don't worry, you can still join immediately after that and technically be part of this round--you just may have to wait a bit longer for your match or Secret Santa.
NOTE: Your name will not be on the list twice. This means you will not be both a Secret Santa and a match. If you have a preference, let me know when you join.
4. Now this is where the Secret Santa begins! Every day, or multiple times a day if you want, the Secret Santa gives their match some sort of gift. It can be anything--literal (like a picture, picturing, photo, poem, etc) or figurative (a description or picture of a gift or decorations). You can give a gift container description of you wish. Anything you want! You can ask your match questions, like what their favorite color is, or if they celebrate Channukah, or if they have a pet, etc. Whatever you might need for your gifts.
That includes if you need your match's identity, then ask, and they'll give it to you. (This is the reason behind the note at the end of #3.)
Meanwhile (whether their identity is revealed or not) the match tries to guess their Secret Santa. One guess per post please.
5. The Secret Santa keeps giving gifts until Saturday the 25th.
The official next round starts on Monday, if anybody new that was very late wants to join, or if someone that was Secret Santa would like to be a match, or vice versa. If you are rejoining, no need to state what you want...I will check my list from last time and make sure you have a different role.

I hope I explained everything clearly. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!
Get ready to have fun. Let's begin!!!

Nope, none of those! Also, as for your earlier comment, I don't have any Russian family or speak Russian. I just happen to have a matryoshka doll that my friend got me! :)

Rejoining!!

Rejoining!! Also, Secret Santa Elf, should we reveal our identites if we were a Secret Santa?
(December 26, 2016 - 6:36 pm)
If you were a Secret Santa, yeah reveal yourself. (That sounded weird. I feel like it should be in an action movie. *holds out sword* If you were a Secret Santa, reveal yourself! *suspenseful music plays in the background*) Btw you'll be a match next time.
If you were a match, then it's your choice. I would recommend to not reveal yourself, cuz you'll be a Secret Santa next time.
Whichever role you were, if you were revealed, you can rejoin under the same name or join under a new name, and a request as to which role you'd like.

I am joining this.

(December 28, 2016 - 3:34 pm)
I wasn't in the last round, but I'd really like to join.
(December 28, 2016 - 8:51 pm)
I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!! My whole family loves it. We watch it every year. It makes my mom cry every time. She's so sentimental :)
Of course you may join; joining never really closes.
(December 28, 2016 - 9:56 pm)
May I join this round?
(December 28, 2016 - 8:52 pm)
Remember: You can still join if you haven't already and you want to. Joining never actually closes.
I forgot a rule at the beginning: make sure to thank your Secret Santa. It's the courteous thing to do.
Here's the Round Two (Post Christmas) Secret Santa list. (It's short, since we have six people so far. Thank goodness it's an even number.) The way it goes is Secret Santa: Match.
The Ivy: Arthur Christmas
Dishwasher: Book-loving brunette
The Gifter: Matryoshka
Secret Santas, start giving! Matches, start guessing! (Matches if you want more to do you can drop hints as to who you are, making the guessing go both ways. This is optional.)
Most importantly, have fun! ;)

Right-o! Book-loving Brunette, l'd like to know a few of your favorite lyrical songs, just one or two will do. l have an idea as what to do with this, but l don't know how it'll go. Anyways. We shall see, eh?
