Hello everyone, it's last year's Santa!
I hope everyone is having fun and spreading some Christmas cheer this year!
I'm not participating in this year's exchange, I haven't really been active on /toy/ since the end of last year's Secret Santa.
I just wanted to share with everyone some of the successes last year. We had almost 100 people sign up, and only 5 people didn't receive gifts. Believe in the Christmas spirit, it was there, despite what the threads would have you believe. There were also several gifts that went above and beyond and gifted boxes worth well over $100 when the agreed upon price was $20-$30. To all of you generous /toy/soldiers, thank you for your generosity. I know it made the holiday for some people.
I want to say one last thing, I've seen some of the bile thrown my way, and I tried. I led this exchange for two entire months of my life last year. In the midst of planning a wedding an working through finals in grad school, I did everything I promised. I know 5 people didn't receive gifts, but I sent their info to backup Santas and said I was done after that. If you were grinched last year by your Santa and your backup, I'm sorry, but I made it very clear from the beginning that you should only participate out of a spirit of giving, not receiving.
Rant over. Have a merry Christmas everyone. Santa, disregard the Trolls, I suspect there will be many this year as well. Just know that your work will bring joy to many.
Goodbye for good /toy/.
(Unless I get drunk again)
