Note: This is not a charity, this is a gift exchange. If you sign up, you must give a gift as well as receive one.

<center>Welcome to the Second annual Gaia secret santa!
That's right, this is the second one gonk
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I didn't get a gift:
I'm sorry, but sometimes people forget things, or stuff comes up. It is entierly possible they didn't have a chance to get on today, cut them some slack. All reports of empty hands will be accepted on January 1st, so complain until the cows come home, until then no one will do anything about it. On January 1st we will beging taking the names of everyone that didn't get a gift, as well as everyone that has a gift that wasn't confirmed. There will be a charity, now, chances are you will only get paid back the smallest amout of gold from your range, and I am sorry about that, but it is why there is a dissclaimer. So, yes, a charity will happen. I warn all of you upper rangers though, last year we only went up to 10k+, I will try to pay you back, but it is possible I won't be able to make that much gold, again I am sorry for that.
I didn't ever get a PM:
Crap, this should all be done, I don't know why you don't have one. You may have deleted it? Anyway, if you have changed your name, stopped accepting PMs, hadn't signed on in over a week at the time of matching, chances are you were cut. If none of this applies to you, please post your range and number, I will try and look it up for you.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Signups are CLOSED and have been since 11/30! We cannot make ANY exceptions because additions to the list at this point would be too disruptive, so please just COME BACK NEXT YEAR!</center>
<center> Signups are closed and so is...
Changing names, droping out, or anything else that requires editing the list. It's FINAL, it can't be changed. </center>

Glad you asked, the secret santa gift exchange was started last year around this time. It is similar to IRL secret gift exchanges, you receive the name of a person and buy them a gift. On the designated day, everyone exchanges gifts and finds out who their santa is. On Gaia, you will sign up in a price range so that people willing to spend similar amounts of gold are paired together. Last year it was a huge success, and we hope that this year it will be even bigger and better.
arrow I want to sign up!
Good! All you need to do is post in this thread your Gaia
Username as well as the range you wish to join. There are several ranges to choose from, so anyone from a newb to a gaia pro can participate.
<center> arrow Wishlist Thread is up and running! </center>Come and post what you would like to receive from your secret santa! (remember to keep the items within your range or below ^^)!
After you sign up for the santa, you can post your wishlist in HERE!
that way whoever gets you as a match will have an idea of what to get you ^^

Ok everyone..I started the charity thread early. From now on that is where all talk of no gifts belongs...this thread is pretty much dead after this post.
sad isn't it...I should see if we can have it moved to memorables...
anyway, go there and read the procedure for reporting. I will tell you right now it could take a while, last year I raised gold till April I belive.
If any of the volunteers with the santa pass...or any volunteers willing would like to help me update the page feel free to, and if you need the pass PM me.
Dark Angel2206, if you have a list of the people that signed up to go agian, there is a section on the charity post for that. If you can give me that list, or post it accordingly it would be great
I'm sorry to do this to you, but you are all going to have to repost reports in the charity thread sweatdrop
but hey, I got it up early
