Hello Minerealmians! It's been another wonderful, fun filled year. And once again, it's time for the season of giving! (And most importantly receiving. Hehe) I've again taken the liberty of setting up the Secret Santa event again this year due to the success it had last year. For those of you who don't remember last years event, we had over 80 participants! I hope to see the same enthusiasm and kindness I saw last year, and wish everyone a Happy Holidays! No matter what/if you celebrate. 
And no matter what you celebrate I hope you take this opportunity to have a fun time and possibly get to know someone you may not have spoken to before.
Side note: There were some issues with people not following through with their gifts. (Not many, but a few.) I'm not sure what reasoning they had, but I ask that you only put your name in if you're serious about participating. Due to illness last year I was not able to get on during the event dates, but that hopefully won't happen again this year! *knocks on wood* If people still haven't received their gifts, or gotten contacted by their Secret Santa by January 5th, just message me and I'll do my best to get in contact with them or give you a gift myself. Also this is an unofficial event, don't contact other staff about any issues you have. I'll be doing the whole thing on my own. 
For those of you that don't know what secret santa is: Secret Santa is something commonly done among schools, work places, and sometimes among family members. The participants receive a random name whom which they will present a kind gift to on the holiday of choice. Who got your name, and who's name you have is kept a secret until that day.
How the event will work in MineRealm: If you'd like to participate in MineRealm's Secret Santa event, you can submit your name to me on the forums, in a pm, or in game. (or those of you that have skype can message me) I will stop taking names on December 20th, giving those who wish to sign up two weeks to do so. After I get all the participants I will use a random generator to pick off names one by one and list who gets who's name. You will get confirmation from me on the forums of your secret santa's name. I would like the event day to be December 30th and 31st or whenever you get the chance to see your Secret Santa. (If you have trouble getting in contact with them speak to me)
Disclaimer: Once again, this is meant to be FUN, I do not intend to start a religious dispute or quarrel because of the name choice. It is simply a kind thing that I hope many people will partake in. Also, please do not complain if you get a name of a person you do not particularly know, or are not particularly fond of. The Secret Santa event is made for the spirit of giving, so everyone put their happy faces on and have fun!
TLDR:
1. Submit your name to me on the forums in a pm, or in game if you wish to participate.
2. I will stop taking names December 20th.
3. Event day is December 30th-31st (If you have trouble getting in contact with your Secret Santa let me know)
4. Be nice. Have fun!
Happy Holidays! <3
Love, VV
