TRS Secret Celestia card exchange 2020!
This year, we're trying an exchange with a little less pressure than the usual gift exchange. Since shipping gifts, especially internationally, can be difficult, we'll be doing a Hearth's Warming card exchange so everyone can participate without feeling like they need to figure out any elaborate gifts.
We're also testing out a new way to organize things: Elfster is a Secret Santa Web site, and it takes care of all the assignments.
How to sign up:
Click this invite link!
You will also be asked a few questions: Your forums username, any special shipping directions, and whether you are okay with decorations on the envelope of your card (if your Celestia so desires).
What's the deadline?
Please sign up by Thursday, Dec. 10th. Assignments will be sent out the next day, Friday, Dec. 11th.
If you have any problems or questions:
You can post here, private message me, or send an e-mail to horsiesanta[at]gmail[dot]com.

Re: TRS Secret Celestia card exchange 2020!
So is this sending actual physical cards or can we send digital ones? How does this work?

Re: TRS Secret Celestia card exchange 2020!
The idea is to send a physical card. Normally, we would do a gift exchange, but we don't want to overly burden people in such a rough year.
Also, that reminded me to add the previous years to the OP.

That's a neat idea, might not take part in it this time around but maybe another time. I hope the people who are involved have a fun time with it!!!SlateSlabrock wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 11:51 pmThe idea is to send a physical card.

I think you should be able to see who you drew just from going to the site.

I sent mine out last week but I have no idea if it will arrive on time as the Bulgarian postal system seems to be on the overloaded side these days.

Re: TRS Secret Celestia card exchange 2020!
What the heck, I guess I’ll be going first this year.
I got a card in a red envelope the other day! What could be inside?
Ooh, fancy I like the gold and silver!
(also this post is guest starring my leg, so the whole world will know I wear plaid pajamas)
I want to see what’s inside!
Oh, thank you so much, Snowfire. This really touched me. I teared up a bit. This was very sweet and thoughtful of you and it means a lot to me. I needed to hear this. Again, thank you.
This was really lovely.
Hopefully my Santee will get my card at some point, if they haven’t already The dangers of international mail, I guess.
