There are less than three weeks until the time of gift-giving. The planning for this year’s Secret Santa Gift Art Exchange has already begun with twelve volunteers signing up to participate. Big “Thank You” shoutouts go out to: HawkandFloAdventures, usedbooks, InkyMoondrop, Tantz_Aerine, UnderTheBlackHat, hushicho, Genejoke, cdmalcolm1, hartchamber, Tombag, sleeping_gorilla, and davidxolukoga for signing up last week. Twelve is an excellent number for a fun art trade—but keep signing up in the next 72 Hours because the window of opportunity to join this year’s Secret Santa Art Trade will fully shut on Wednesday, December 7th at 11:59PM. Assignments will be distributed by PQ on Friday, December 9th.

What is the Drunk Duck Secret Santa?

Secret Santa is an annual art-trade, similar to a White Elephant gift exchange, where you sign-up in the forums and write a quick description of what you would like someone else to draw. The request can be as open-ended or as detailed and specific as you would like. Once all interested participants submit their intention to join in on the festivities, names go into a random name generator (or a top hat filled with names) in order to be selected at random.

Please keep in mind that there will only be a window of a little over three solid weeks after assignments are given, so keep requests relatively manageable.

How Secret Santa works:

~Reply to the Networking & Community Projects, Secret Santa thread with your gift request before the end of sign-up deadline.
~When sign-ups close, everyone is assigned a secret random assignment via PQ.
~You will have until December 25th (at least a few weeks lead time) to complete your assigned gift and present it on a gift thread (to be posted later).
~Any gifts not completed by the deadline will be reassigned to a volunteer on the DWC (dead weight committee).

~If you need more time, you will need to contact the organizer (me, I guess) before the deadline or be labeled as “deadweight” and have your assignment reassigned. (Deadweight will not be permitted to participate next year.)
