SECRET SANTA PROJECT!!!

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!!!

Your name is funny. And random XD dishwasher of all things.

Lyrical songs. Um. Hold up. Ack I'm not good at thinking of songs...hm hum hm. Bingo I'll list some lyrical-ish songs from my iPod! I tried to pick relatively positive songs...

-"Seasons of Love" from Rent 

-"Hang On Little Tomato" by Pink Martini

-"For Good" from Wicked

-"To The Sky" by Owl City

-"Bright" by Echosmith

-"Thousand Years" by Christina Perri

If you're looking for songs that go together, (cuz the ones above wouldn't) then basically songs from musicals...examples are Hamilton, Wicked, Rent, Legally Blonde, Into the Woods, Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis, In the Heights, and 21 Chump Street. Idk if you're a musical theater person or not....so let me know if you need songs from those musicals

Matryoshka is September. She was in the last round and revealed her identity at the end, so that's how I know.

Nice. Cake is always the best gift. The fifth tear is definitely the best tier though. Chocolate is always the best. Ivy, are you Abi?
