Welcome to the tenth annual Mycena Cave Secret Santa!
In order to participate in this Secret Santa, your account has to have been created before October 1st to be eligible. If your account is more recent than this, we hope to see you in next year’s Secret Santa!
December 2 at 23:59 server time: Signup deadline!
Sometime on December 3: Santas will be paired with their Santa’ees.
On or before December 9: Last day to establish contact with your Santa and Santa’ee via SantaMail.
On or before December 24: Deadline. Your Santa’ee should have received their present. Be a good Santa, do your best to make sure it is received before this date.
On or before January 7: Hard deadline. Your Santa’ee must have received their present (or proof of shipment).
If both you and your Santa are okay with it, your Santa can mail you a physical present. Santa’ees who do not wish to give out their name and/or address (or who would simply prefer a digital present) may select a “digital presents only” option. If you’re a Santa and you want to send someone a physical present, we’ll do our best to match you with someone who has not selected this option, but of course we can’t guarantee it.
Every year, lack of regular contact with your Santa or Santa’ee is the largest source of anxiety and most frequent cause of messages to staff about the activity. Don’t be a hard-to-reach Santa or a disinterested Santa’ee. Please keep the comms open, send your counterparts messages to let them know you’re thinking about them, and respond to messages promptly. Remember to not only be a good Santa, but also be a good Santa’ee: don’t deny your Santa the opportunity to make your day :)
For much more info (well, all the rest of the info, in fact), head over to the Secret Santa page and get started!

We got this one off the ground a couple days later than usual, so we’ve adjusted the earlier dates accordingly and you’ll be paired on December 3rd. As a side-benefit, early deadlines now fall on weekends :)

Who would I message about a fellow mycenian not being able to participate anymore due to an unforseen event? I don’t recall when sign-ups started, so this may not even need to be addressed. I just don’t want her to be labeled as a dud Santa.

Hello again! Apologies for the delay in getting the matching done - we’re actually having some difficulties performing the match-up per people’s preferences and locations. I’ll post an update as soon as we have a matching we can work with!

Well this answers the echo I sent a bit ago, thanks for the update!

I apologize again for the delay. We had to relax some of the typical criteria to make the matching work work: if you prefer to ship a physical gift but cannot ship internationally, we tried very hard to ensure you got matched to someone in your country, but this year it was impossible to fully uphold that property without having two-person cycles (i.e. where your Santa is your Santaee). But digital gifts are always an option :)
