GLITCHY SECRET SANTA! (Party details and everything else inside!)

It's getting colder, the air is starting to smell like snow and the shops are stocking up on Christmas goodies. And every once in a while you hear a faint whisper ...
 
 
    Finally! The 2nd December is in sight -  time to distribute all your presents!

I can't say how amazing each and everyone of you is! 48 Glitches entrusted me with their fantastic gifts; their kind words meant the world to me and kept me going. I barely left my glitchy house because I had to organize notes, poems and so, so, so many bags.The hardware vendor now knows me by my name.

But I can't imagine what our little frogs had to endure, carrying all the notes and items back and forth! Still, they only told me to relax and carried on. I'm surprised that my mailbox didn't break its legs dancing the wibbly wobbly to inform me of your mails!

//////// Nooow ... the party! //////// 

What you can expect: A nice street party with free booze and snack (you may bring some to share, too! Not a requirement to paartay!). Aand, of course your very own presents! I will fetch your gifts stored in my humble abode and hand them over. 
Feel free to share your new belongings with the others!

When: Tomorrow, 2nd December - starting at 6pm EST
Where: 4191 Stopan Winnow Quarter
What to remember: you will receive a gift bag. Please come with an empty slot!

//////// If you can't make it to the party //////// 
I won't be throwing your gifts out. They'll stay with me until you come to pick it up. Whenever I'm online just drop me a line and we can meet up.
You may of course give me a key to your house and I'll be leaving your gift bag on your threshold tomorrow. I'll give back the key the moment I've left the present in your home.
Please note: don't give me a key to your house if you are already sharing it with other Glitches! I am not responsible if your room mate considers the gift bag fair game.

Cheers,
Erine

P.S. Please excuse my English - I'm German and seriously sleep-deprived (the mailbox won't stop shaking in my head).

  • i really like to celebrate ONE holiday at a time.

    and i prefer to make each distinct, with some days between them. the next person who wishes me a "happy holiday" out here is getting a sharp snarl and maybe a kick to the shins.

    sometime next week i will be wishing people a happy thanksgiving and i am not even thinking about that next holiday until 27 november, when its season properly begins.

  • Flask - those of us from a country to your north had thanksgiving already. ;)
    Although, I am determined to boycott all radio stations that are playing holiday music already....

  • Lovely lovely idea. I'll be happy to help, should you need it Erine. Brainstorming awesome bag ideas now.

  • Also, there are people that don't celebrate Thanksgiving at all, so are already waiting for Christmas :-)

  • can i do the santa thing
    Posted 13 months ago by River Melody Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yep, I'm in
    Posted 13 months ago by airplay Subscriber! | Permalink
  • River Melody - Everyone can participate! Just read the instructions above and here.

    Wynella - thank you for the offer, maybe I'll come back to it! I'll just have to see how many will be joining in. The frog will be very busy, I'd say!

    flask -  I'm from Germany, there is no Thanksgiving like in the US, Halloween isn't really a holiday here - and we often do Secret Santa on the 6th of December. I just decided on 2th because it coincides with Recurse Eve. But come on - giving gifts is always nice!

  • Is this for Recurse or RL Christmas? Also Zilloween is in like 1-2 days in Glitch :P Nevertheless I'd love to join :D
    Posted 13 months ago by RedWood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • RedWood - This is for Recurse Eve which falls on the 2th of December. The last day to send me your gifts is the 30th of November - just so that I can sort and plan everything.

  • Great idea I'll have to send in a note tommorow
    Posted 13 months ago by Santa Clause Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can I participate without penpersonship? :(
    Posted 13 months ago by victoriah Subscriber! | Permalink
  • victoriah - Of course you can. But it would still be great if you could get someone to write a note for you, you know, as your proxy. But if you can't, no biggy! I'll write my own note to organize the gifts.
    I require a note mainly to assure everyone that isn't an elaborate plan to defraud you all - I love Glitch way too much! I will hand out exactly those gifts you intend your recipient to get. 
    Posted 13 months ago by Erine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Please note: I will NOT be mailing the notes with your gifts listed to your assigned Glitch - if you want them to receive a poem or something like that please tell me so separately!
    Posted 13 months ago by Erine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Edit: Please don't give me any bags or currants for bags. Generous glitches found and gave me free bags for this Secret Santa! Thank you all!

    Posted 13 months ago by Nori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nori, Mithril - Please read this: http://www.bitterewahrheit.de/glitch/ 
    You join by writing me a note (see note template in topic, you'll need Penpersonship) and sending me the gifts you want a lucky person to receive. The deadline for signing up is the 30th November.

    On Recurse Eve (2nd December) I will hand out the gifts! I will inform you all in due time when exactly I'll be doing that !

  • Don't miss out on the chance to get very, VERY nice gifts!
    Posted 13 months ago by Erine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • wait so if u contribute a bag u also get one?
    Posted 13 months ago by wuilyl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Everyone gets their gifts in a generic or bigger bag (depending on the amount of gifts). If you give me your gifts inside a bag I will take and give it away as it is.
    If you just give me your gifts I will put them into one of the bags I've collected for Glitchy Secret Santa!

    (Argh, I'm Erine. Say hello to my alt.)
    Posted 13 months ago by Merlen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay!! i want to do this too :D but i want to give to more than one glitch... is that ok?
    Posted 13 months ago by Rini Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Rini - you're always free to give Glitches presents. But this Secret Santa is a gift "exchange", everyone can only give and receive one gift bag.
    Posted 13 months ago by Erine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm not doing any secret santas ever again, last one I was in I never had my items returned "Clearly stated was a LOAN of a full set for the trophy" nor did I get anything from it.  There's absolutely no proof that the person who arranged it didn't just keep everything themselves, and I've lost hope that it will not just happen that way again this time.
    Posted 13 months ago by ICountFrom0 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ICountFrom0 - I understand what happened to you (that must have sucked) and you're right, I cannot give you complete assurance that I'm not doing the same.

    Buuuut .... it is clearly against the Community Guidelines to scam other Glitches.

    "Play Fair
    In Glitch, the journey matters far more than the destination. This game is not about just winning, leveling up, or amassing the most currants.
    [...]
    Duping or deceiving other players into doing things which benefit you at their expense is not allowed."


    I am not planning on losing my account and being banned from playing Glitch. I love Glitch, the staff and the community in general way too much to scam you all for items I could gather or buy by myself over time. 

    That being said, you certainly don't have to participate. I just wanted to do something nice for this amazing community which has given me so much. :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Erine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I will send you something, but don't have notewriting.
    You can assign someone to me who did not send a note if you want, as I will not ask for/need the note.
    (will be sending from my alt Hayln and you can send gift to that person too or to me either is okay)

  • Oh my. Organizing this must be hectic! I hope everything goes well, it's a fabulous idea.
    Posted 13 months ago by Coi Koy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can vouch for Erine - a generous Glitch who is far to nice to scam anyone! I think it's so nice that someone takes so much effort into organizing this.
    Erine, message me if you need any more help with this!

    I am looking forward to reading what everyone got for their secret santa gifts :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Fiana Stormborn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Aw, thank you very much, Fiana. :))

    I'm still accepting gifts, get your gift shopping done by 30th! Only two days left to participate.
