Dear Honored Employee,
According to the God awful
music spilling out of the radio, Christmas is rapidly approaching, completely blowing off all other holidays in its decorative, sing-song-y gift-giving wake. ...And company policy demands that we follow suit. Again.
Until we all die, I guess?
Anyway! You are formally invited to this year’s annual Secret Santa, so as in tradition, please add your name to the pot, and then in a week or so, come back and draw one. We were able to get the cabin in the North Pole again this year, so if you lack the transportation please see your local arena where transportation can be arranged for you. There will be milk and cookies, because we’re children apparently, and festive music, because why not.
If you’d prefer to be spending the holidays with a bunch of strangers who would gladly strangle you rather than the people who love and support you, please RSVP below.
Kind Regards,
Dan(ger) Lancaster

Legal Note: Please don’t strangle each other.
wRHG Secret Santa IV
Some of you may already be familiar with the way I run this, but if not:
All you have to do is say you will be taking part, link your wRHG page, as well as say your location for unwrapping your gift. This will come into play because the people you’re seated around may react to you, and you to them
Nothing too hard, just write two brief stories. First, deciding upon, and acquiring the gift of your choice, and then second, unwrapping and reacting to what you’re given. I will also need a stand alone description of what the gift actually is.
DO NOT POST WHAT YOU WILL BE GIVING ON THIS THREAD. All will be submitted through PM.
The first thing that’s due is the acquiring of the gift story, as well as a detailed account of what the gift actually is, including how it’s wrapped. This is due December 7th. Now, I know a week isn’t much time, but I’m not expecting a novel. A few paragraphs will suffice. If you want to write more though, be my guest.
By the 9th, I will have PMed you what your gladiator will be receiving.
At this point, you can collaborate with the people your gladiator will be with, such as mini RPs if you choose. If not, turn in your entry by the 17th so I can pass it to the people around your guy/girl for little reaction insertions. Anything they add will be shown back to you so you can either reject, green light, or add to it. Things MUST BE IN FINAL FORM BY THE 20TH.
Again, submit by PM so I can organize it and have it posted on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, depending on which one I can slip away for a quick copy paste job.
All submissions will be placed in spoilers with the gladiator’s name being the title of it. These will be organized by location, but only the unwrapping will be posted on Christmas. Who did what will be revealed a week later, so feel free to take guesses and discuss in the meantime!
The gift giving takes place in a cabin in the North Pole. Snow is falling outside and the windows are covered in frost. There are three round tables scattered in the building, all of which are made of wood. Additionally, there is the Christmas tree itself, covered in white lights with a bright star at the top. It is in back left corner of the cabin. Next to it on the back wall is the fireplace, complete with burning logs. It is comfortably warm inside. On the right wall is a long table where the milk and cookies are located.
Your unwrapping options:
Table A
Table B
Table C
Fireplace
Tree
Depending on how many people go where, tables may be combined, as well as the fireplace and tree. You will be notified if things change. If they do, it will be no later than the 2nd, just because by then I am no longer accepting participants and will know exactly what to expect.
What kind of gift can I give?
Doesn’t matter so long as it doesn’t effect anything cannon. You can give anything from a severed head, to a diamond ring, to a bag of chips out of the vending machine.
I don’t have a wRHG, can I use something else?
Sure, just make sure it’s actually yours and you have a link to something like a profile page. If you link me a novel that you expect someone to read, I’m rejecting your character.
Can I do multiple?
No, I don’t want anyone getting over ambitious and crashing and burning. Someone’s counting on you to do your part, don’t let them down.
You may have noticed that I don’t change much from year to year. and that’s because I really don’t want to throw a wrench in and break the formula. If there are things you’d like to see changed, I’m extremely open to suggestion, so long as it’s before we get the ball rolling on the 1st.
Happy Holidays as they come,
