Hoi there, friends~

I am hosting an Animal Jam Secret Santa! If you don't know what that is, it is where you pick a random name, usually out of a hat, and then buy them a gift. It's called Secret Santa because you only know the person that is giving you something when the gift exchange is. This is a bit difficult to do online since we have no hats and a random name generator is tricky. I could do it, and choose people's Secret Santas, but I wanna participate as well! :3  So, I found this site called www.drawnames.com, and it has a Secret Santa setting thing. That is the site I will be using to give out the Secret Santas.

'''Right now, you can only sign up. To sign up, please comment your AJ user as well as an email address I can reach you by. This email will be used to tell you who you are getting a gift for. '''(If you don't want to give that out, you can create one only for the purpose of doing this)



This is only for when we are actually getting the presents.

Starting
When I send out the invitations for the group, you will get something like this in your inbox (1).

To continue, push "Join the group". Then, push the big green button that says "continue". After that, push the bullet that says "Make a wish list", then click "continue" again. There will be an option to choose if you are Male or Female. You can leave this blank if you like, I don't care. Below that, there is a box to add your age. Please don't put your actual age. I don't really want to know that. Just make it something like "115" or "72" or "1". Then, click "continue" and you will get to a page that looks like this (2).

Click the text box that says "Enter your wishes here" then type an Animal Jam item that you want to get from this Secret Santa thing. Please don't say something like "Headdress" or "Necklace". The price range here is around a clothing beta to two den betas. Please have some options that are less expensive than two den betas, and have at least five things on this list. To enter items in this box, just type it in, and if you want, add a picture of the item. You are only getting Animal Jam items from this. In the box below that says "Hobbies and Interests", you can type anything you want there, really. It doesn't matter that much. Then click "Save". After that, you will be taken to another page. There should be a red link that says "Visit the group page". If you click there, you can see everyone who is in the Secret Santa thing.

Getting a gift
Once the names have been drawn, it will send you an email. Click on the button that says "Check your drawn name" once you get it. If you click on that, it will show you their wish list along with their Wiki username. That's when you start getting your gift. You must get a gift that on their wish list. If you try for a long time, but can't seem to be getting anything that is on their wish list, go to the text box that says "Ask ____ an anonymous question". There, you can ask them what else they might want, but be careful not to give away who you are!

Gift details, read this--Your gift that you get for someone has to be between a clothing beta and a den beta. If they want something that is only worth a few rims, please get two things. Don't expect this to be fair, so if you give someone an item that is worth two den betas, and you get something that is worth a clothing beta, don't get upset. This isn't a trade, it's a gift. It's a kindness.

Gift exchange details--The gift exchange will be on December 20th (the Thursday before Christmas). It will be at 8pm EST (that is 7pm EST, 6pm MST, and 5pm CST) in bestestpugever's den. Get on as close as you can to that time, if not earlier. Please do not sign up for this if you cannot come then. Everyone will be expected to be there at 8pm EST sharp. It will start at around 8:03pm EST, and last until at the latest 8:45pm EST, although it will probably end before that. We are only exchanging gifts, this is sadly not a Christmas party.

Thanks for reading this WOT, and have a merry Christmas! :D
