The Midnight Hour Secret Santa 2023!
2 years ago
This is a copy/paste of something I have already posted on my server, but I wanted to provide another place to share this information for those interested! If you aren't already part of the server and want to participate, please let me know.
Registration for the 3rd annual Midnight Hour Secret Santa is now open!
In the past, I have hosted similar events with the goal of bringing communities closer together and add a little extra fun during the holidays. I always feel that is important to take a moment and have some fun despite whatever challenges life likes to throw at us. Everyone is welcome to join!

For those of you that aren’t familiar with what a Secret Santa is, I’ll explain. It’s a gift exchange game where after you sign up, you are randomly assigned as someone else’s Secret Santa. You will then have to get them a gift from their wish list without revealing your identity until you give your gift.
I will establish a special channel on the server for all relevant discussions or questions on a later date. However, you are also free to message me directly if you have any questions or comments. A Secret Santa role will also be created after I confirm everyone that has signed up. In the end, all participants in this event will receive a gift of some kind! I just hope you all have fun with it as well!
Once again, I will be using Sneaky Santa to organize the event. Register here to join and please use your Discord name so that I can identify who you are. If you already have an account there and are going by a different name, please still register at the site, but inform me of your name so I can keep track of it. The link to the page is here: https://sneakysanta.com/invite.aspx?i=eb14ed4f
With Sneaky Santa, you can create your wish list and provide any necessary details for what you’d like. You can also anonymously ask your gift recipient questions to get a better understanding of what they are wanting if needed. Also, if there is someone that happens to be participating you are uncomfortable with for any reason (which I sincerely hope there isn’t), please let me know and I can set up some restrictions when drawing names. Also, if for some reason you need to suddenly drop out, let me know as soon as possible so that I can make any necessary changes and notifications.
-
All gifts will be digital goods of some kind. There are plenty of options to consider.
To give some examples:
-Artwork/commissions
-Video games/DLC
-Gift or eshop cards
-Twitch subscriptions, Discord Nitro or similar items.
There will be a budget of $20-$50. If you are making art, please put your full effort into the gift. Incomplete work will not be accepted. Also, keep to the server rules, so nothing above PG-13. Keep it clean.
If you aren’t sure about something, don’t be afraid to ask your gift recipient or myself for clarification.
-
Gifts can be exchanged starting on December 21 and run through New Year’s Day. They can be given publicly, privately or anonymously through myself or a trusted mutual. I will also be verifying that all gift exchanges have taken place to ensure everyone has received something.
If you are going to be late with giving your gift, please let me know so that I’m aware. Life loves throwing its curveballs sometimes, but as long as you communicate, it’s okay! Please don’t accept any gifts until you can give yours, however. If you also have no choice but to give it a little early due to life commitments, such as vising family for the duration of the holidays, please get in touch with me.
Failure to give a gift without warning will result in you being banned from all future community events. So again, please get in touch with me if something is wrong so I can help!
Again, everyone will get a gift. If you haven’t gotten one after some time, then myself or any other volunteers will work to make sure that happens.
-
Don’t be afraid to get in touch with me if you have any questions that I might not have already answered. Overall, not much has changed from last year's event.
Signups will end at 12:01AM on December 1, 2023! I will then notify everyone when the gift assignments have been sent out shortly after that.
I’m hoping to make this event bigger and better this year. Let’s have a lot of fun and enjoy the holidays everyone!
