Thank you for hosting this :3 it was fun seeing what my secret santa drew for me ^_^ i hope u will host one next year. Now we need to talk about what you should host for New Years *winks*

Thanks so much again for hosting this event! I loved participating in it, even though my Secret Santa hasn't posted their present yet... I've definitely made some friends because of this though, including yourself lol^___^

Take care!^^ I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!^_^

@saekimidori:

I submitted my gift, I did not know I had to show you first for review, I apologise.

:O Sent my gift!
>.< I just read the part where im supposed to let you review it tho.. SORRY!

I hope you don't mind. But I just finished submitting my gifts. Since I'm not going to be able to get to a computer for the next week. Or so I've been told. I hope that's ok ><

@Angel Zakuro:

Awesome! If you don't mind, could you let me review the present before you submit it?
And yeah, you can submit it on Christmas Eve. =)

I just finished my gift. X3 I can't wait to submit it for my person!! I don't know if I'll find time ON Christmas, so is it ok if I submit it on the Eve? :)

@littlepooch:

Thanks for informing me.

I don't think Balletninja is on much ya know school and such :P but if you want to get a hold of her you can try PMing Moonsailor :3 They are sisters...>_<" Don't know if thats helpful or anything buuuut..... May be.

Alright guys and you know who you are. I have gone through and removed all of the comments accusing saekimidori of lifting the idea of Secret Santa from another member here. I have also removed all other comments related to it.

Bottom line, I have looked both contests over and other than the concept [which is far from original and therefore can't be claimed as someone's original idea] there is no ripping going on here.

I expect this harassment of saekimidori to end. I will be keeping an eye on this from now on and anyone continuing it will earn themselves a temporary ban from the site in order to cool down.

@RayMan87:

Sorry, ray24. I stopped accepting participants on the 27th of November. =/

I am game.. Is permission granted??

@saekimidori:

Aww ok I understand! X3 once again, awesome idea ;D

@Burning Silver:

Sorry, Burning Silver. ^^; I had to stop accepting people at that time because I needed to start assigning people and giving everyone time to do their present. =T

Aww... This is such a nice idea.. Why'd you stop in November? *sad* I would have loved to have participated in this event... :(

@just.me:

Sorry, just.me. I stopped accepting participants on November 27th. ^^;

This is such an awesome idea! So sweet and just perfect.
I'm going to spread the word around and I'm in! :D

@TobixForever:

Do whatever you think is best; just remember to dedicate it/them all.

YAY~ So we draw our secret santas and then dedicate it to them? How cute~ I'm in~ ^^

@saekimidori:

I said I'm in:3 So I guess you could add me to the participants list...^^

~SaxGirl~

@SaxGirl:

I'll add you to the 'unconfirmed participants' list for now; if you're going to join, you have to make sure you do it. Otherwise, you need to tell me you can't make it on time. Till then, tell me when you've fully decided. =)

I am so in! Please add me to the list! <3

This is awesome, I'd love to participate! (I just hope I'll have enough time and inspiration...^^;;;) But I do love the idea and I'm in!=)

~SaxGirl~

@saekimidori:

Thank you~!

@Gero Chan:

Don't even have to ask! You're welcome!

- Gero Chan

I'm joining for the sake of love! >:O

hellz yes i wanna join :DD i'm gonna try and promote this :3

I've never been part of an event like this! I want to give it a try

I don't have to work in December, so I'm in ^^

Sounds like fun. :) I did a Secret Santa on theO...I mean, I participated in one that blueangel created. It went over really well. ^^ So it'll be fun this year, too! I'll join. :3

i like that, count me in!

I would like to join as well! :D

Lets go and do this! I'm in :D

Izzy

I would like to join ^^

@m3ia:

Lol. <3 I actually don't even know if I'm really "joining" since I'm hosting it. @_@ It definitely won't be a surprise for me, since I'll be assigning members. I guess it'll just be up to other people if they want to give me something too. XD ^^;

@saekimidori:

yay! I can't wait ^^

@belletoile:

You don't even have to ask! Thanks for wanting to participate in the event!

It can be either, or both, preferably something the person would like. But in the end, it's really up to you. =)

Can I join please? This sounds fun ^^ Does the picture have to be Christmas-y or can it be anything that the person would like?

I'll go for this! It sound fun. :)

@Poyongluv:

I will shuffle the names, so it'll be random, yep.

I'll do it for sure as well :)

OMG :D What an awesome idea~! =^w^= Woo! Count meh in! ;3 I'll also put something in my world

<~/Poochy/~>

This is a WONDERFUL IDEA!!! I've always wanted to do this too!!

COUNT ME IN!!! I'll make a post in my world spreading the word too!!

WOO! Way to get in the Xmas Spirit!!

I will definatly do this
I have always wanted to participate in one

Oo this sounds like fun~ Count me in.

Will the present go to a random person or can you choose.. (Me having rlly no one special in mind would prefer random :( )

@saekimidori:

I guess your right.

no prob

@VWBSZWAS:

I thought about that, but it wouldn't make sense for the presents to be submitted into the challenge. It's not a challenge, it's just a fun thing to do among the community.
And besides, I'm already trying to promote it with the Christmas '09 challenge I have going on at the moment. =)

By the way, thank you very much for helping me to spread the news about this event. I really appreciate it. <3

@aragorn1014:

I would love it if you can make it.

Thanks for bringing that up; for this event, it's just going to be a secret up until the day of giving. XD It'll be a hassle if I were to ask everyone to give me the link to their presents and just display it in the World... You know what I mean? Plus it can't be a total secret either way, considering people can just search the art. XD
Yeah... That's just how it is. Lol.

if you posted this as achallenge you might get more participants. ^-^
Just an idea

Oh this sounds absolutely lovely! I'm not sure if I can join though...lots of stuff on my hands @__@
The only thing is...where's the "secret" part? xD If we are dedicating it to a member, then aren't we giving ourselves away?Is it more like a gift giveaway of sorts to someone on the site?

VWBSZWAS pm'd me about this, sounds like fun. I'm in!

Yea, VWBSZWAS invited-ed-ed meh here.........
omg I LUV SERECT SANTAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMMA SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOTALLY GONNA PARTICIPATE!!!!!!!!!!

Since i dunt hava life like all u kewl guyz (XD lolz, j/k i so doo :P), i mite b able ta send it in on XMas........But i mite b 2 busy wid my ITouch :P (Datz if i get 1 >.>)

C yaz‼ ♫
Alwayz BELIEVE

I would love to participate in the SS!! XD

I would like to particapate ^_^ this sounds like fun

I'd like to do this too, but I can't garentee I'll get to a computer on christams. I could submit the day after christmas because Australia is ahead of America time wize, so My 26th would be other's 25th, only not everyone lives in America, but still, I may be able to put it up on christmas eve. Sorry about that though, I go interstate every christmas...away from computers.

This sounds like fun... Count me in... and I will do my best to help you get the word out...

Kita

I'm in and i'll PM all my friends too.
This should be fun ^-^
