[Activity] Secret Santa 2024


Welcome to the eleventh annual Mycena Cave Secret Santa!

Eligibility

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!

Important dates!

December 8 at 23:59 server time: Signup deadline!
Sometime on December 9: Santas will be paired with their Santa’ees.
On or before December 15: 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!

Please note that the dates are different this year from last year, and are somewhat more compressed than usual.

We typically launch signups in mid-to-late November, but some travel interfered with us getting this up and running as soon as we had hoped. Please take note of the “important dates” above when deciding whether to participate. Thanks!

It should be noted that Canada Post is on strike and is only delivering essential mail like pension checks. There is currently no end in sight for the strike
