SAUK's Not-so-Secret Santa!

[Father Christmas]

Hello!

Totally forgot to do this last year, so here's hoping for a revival!

YULE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Please sign up for SAUK's not-so-secret Santa!

It doesn't involve any actual present buying or sending presents out to people in the post! You simply post a picture of something/some things you would buy the other person. See a previous year's thread here to get the idea.

If you're interested in taking part, all you need to do is reply to this post by Friday 16th December 2023. Alternatively, you can PM me.

You will then get a PM with your recipient's name. Once you have received the other person's name, you have until 25th December to post the picture of the e-gifts that you have chosen for them. Remember to put your post behind a spoiler, so the recipient can virtually unwrap it .

This is open to everyone and might be good way of getting to know other people on the boards. I hope you feel like you can take part

I am also happy to post on your behalf of you'd prefer to take part anonymously. Send a PM my way

[Percy]

Yeah, why not.

[biscuits]

I’m also in

[Appear]

Ooh - yes please!

[Father Christmas]

woohoo!

Your names are on the list: the naughty list, of course!

[Father Christmas]

Would anyone else like to join? :D

[Tubbs]

Thank you Father Christmas for gracing us with your presents! I ho-ho-hope I'm allowed to join in!

[Father Christmas]

Your puns sleigh me!

Consider yoursELF on the list

[Father Christmas]

Would anyone else like to sign up?

[Chess&Junkfood]

It's the most wonderful time!

Yes the most wonderful time!

Oh the most wonderful time!

All together everyone!

Of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Wowsers!!!!

Count me in, Santa!

I also want the members to know that you will get the deluxe Christmas package from me. Which includes a Christmas coffee mug, a Christmas dedication love song and a festive dance around the forum! Either that or a pair of comfy slippers.

Now let's talk about what I would like to receive! It would be great if I received an Amazon gift card from someone. Ideally totaling £1000. That would be amazing! I honestly think that would make my Christmas! Either that or a pair of comfy slippers.

Anyway, it's great to be a part of this fantastic Christmas group! We may not be the biggest of groups out there, but what we are is festive! And when Christmas is finally over, this group will march onto the forum and......

Oops, wrong group!

[Father Christmas]

Yay! You're on the list!

[Chess&Junkfood]

There's our tree sorted guys!

Anyway, I need to work on that Christmas deluxe package thing. Either that or sleep.

[Father Christmas]

^ magical!

Would anyone else like to take part? I've spent 67.8 SA dollars on Chess' advertising campaign.

The deadline is 8pm tomorrow and I'll send the names out on Saturday morning :D

[Chess&Junkfood]

Santa!

I'm so glad that you like the tree!

I'm also glad that you mentioned the advertising campaign. Which I thought went very well! Although I haven't seen any new members come through the door yet, but I would imagine they are busy at the moment. What with Christmas and all. Although for a second, and I'm embarrassed to say this, I thought my sparkle had gone. Which of course is hard to believe. I even wrote a poem about it:

Oh woe is me!
My once mighty plumage is no more!
Cast aside like yesterdays chip wrapper
No room at the inn for Chess
Oh harsh world!
Why have you forsaken me!

But like I was saying before Santa, everyone must be busy at the moment. What with Christmas and all.

Anyway, I better get to work on that deluxe Christmas package deal. Although I probably shouldn't have used the word deluxe.

Oh and I also want to add that this is a great thread, Santa!

[Father Christmas]

^ yes, also I think this thread can be a scary one trying to think up ideas for the gifts!

[Chess&Junkfood]

Gifts!!!!! I've been focusing so much on my deluxe Christmas package that I forgot about the gifts!!!!

[Father Christmas]

Hahah such modesty, you are the gift that keeps on giving, Chess!

[Father Christmas]

I'll PM everyone their recipient this evening

[Appear]

[Tubbs]

[Father Christmas]

Hopefully everyone has received their PMs! Let me know if not!

(You can post the gifts whenever - a bit closer to Christmas if you like!)

Your Deluxe Christmas Package awaits:

Here is a nice coffee mug. Which I think helps to make any coffee drink that much more festive:




I would now like to dedicate a song:

This song is dedicated to the amazing! The fantastic! The one, the only......... BISCUIT!!!!!

Biscuit, may I have the honour of this dance please?

And now for your magnificent Christmas gift:

I think it's one of my best drawings! It's your cat next to your sunflower. Or as I like to call it, a masterpiece!

Anyway, Happy Christmas, Biscuit! From your pal, Chess.
