Snow should be closer to the 25th . . . (but that's what I think) We could have Santa + Elves or both as different days. Ice Prince? Nutcracker? Reindeer? Christmas Food? Eggnog? (Lol jk)
Good ideas! And good point about the snow thing.. I was just thinking that it's not strictly christmas-y, but rather, winter-y. XP So maybe..
Dec 14'th: Ice Prince/Princess Dec 15'th: Nutcracker Dec 16'th: Sweets Dec 17'th: Dec 18'th: Dec 19'th: Snow Dec 20'th: Dec 21'st: Reindeer Dec 22'nd: Mr. / Mrs. Clause Dec 23'rd: Elves Dec 24'th: Presents Dec 25'th:
^^? And Atually, eggnog might turn up some fun results. XD
25th could be 'Christmas' as a theme so that there would be unlimited possiblities~ I was thinking of using the idea I had for the Cafe for this event. It's a RNG with random spots of 'special prize', 'anon from ____', etc. We could do eggnog. XD
Very true very true! ^^ I like that. :] Oh? What Cafe idea? o3o
Dec 14'th: Ice Prince/Princess Dec 15'th: Nutcracker Dec 16'th: Sweets Dec 17'th: Eggnog emotion_awesome Dec 18'th: Lights &/or Pixies (?) Dec 19'th: Snow Dec 20'th: Old Christmas Stories(?) Dec 21'st: Reindeer Dec 22'nd: Mr. / Mrs. Clause Dec 23'rd: Elves Dec 24'th: Presents Dec 25'th: Christmas!!
So how's this? ^^

Now I will think of this whenever I hear that song xDDD
How about we do it all!? 4laugh We could make that our anon gifty thingy. What if, people's anon's could be randomly paired with someone, like in a secret Santa thing? Cus then, it's secret Santa, but with Pen-names, and not even the person facilitating really would know who's gifting who. emotion_yatta
....but that means names of Anons would have to be rounded up and "submitted" to participate... How would we go about doing that?
Maybe an announcement could be made, and ask people to send a "gift" message with their pen-name, stating that they'd like to participate, and a short list of people they're not (so they don't get themselves to gift), to the person facilitating? And then that person could maybe... hmm... post replies in a thread with the
spoiler
tags, saying who each anon will be secret-santa-ing? I know at that point people could peek... but... We're honest right?
I like the "particapatory gift" idea.
But, how about this as the idea for assigning secret santas? Each anon gets a number and a way for only the anons to know their number is devised. Then a list gets posted in thread with usernames and a number after each name so the anons see that and know who they have for secret santa? Maybe that might work?
Oh that's a good idea! :'D Now how do we get the anon's the numbers.. >> Hmm.. what if, in the message, the anon chooses a number from, for example, 1-12, and if it's taken, the facilitator for the secret santa could post a reply saying if the number was taken, giving the chance for the anon to pick a new one. but only the facilitator would know which anon is which number...
OOOOO That's an AWESOME IDEA. How about the Facilitator says which numbers are all taken so that no other anon accidentally picks it? And if there are more than twelve...I guess that is stated and new number limit is announced?
....wait, who'll be the facilitator?
Oh that could work! They could just post a list, and cross numbers off as they're taken! :'D
I dunno.. >w< Personally, I'd want to anon.. could a person anon and facilitate at the same time? Or, Rainy or someone? O.o

You could totally anon and facilitate at the same time. I mean, it's not like you'd tell everyone who is getting which anons. Nor would they know which anon you are. You just couldn't be anon'd...because you'd know who was assigned to you. So, if someone doesn't mind not being assigned an anon, then they probably should be the facilitator.

True. I wouldn't mind not having a specific "Secret Santa Anon", but if there's someone else who wants to facilitate, I have to admit I wouldn't stop them. lol If it comes down to it, and Rainy likes the idea, and we get stuff set up, but still need someone to do it, I will. ^^

^^
^^ *huggles* I see you are looking a little less demonic now, yes?
You forget I am a master of Illusion ^^
Hehe This is true xD I will wonder quite a bit when that side of you will come out to play again... it made for quite an interesting time ^^
In the end, I am an opportunist *winks* If I see the chance of stirring some mischief, then I will be sure to set a stage for the actors here to play with. It will be very interesting and amusing. For me, at least. Sometimes, not so much for them
Well seeing as I may possibly be lurking more than participating soon... I look forward to observing this *tips her hat to you* ^^
Yeah, but it's also $800 which I've spent on stuff with him telling me he'd pay me back, and living paycheck to paycheck, there's no telling that I'll ever get it back. sweatdrop Oh. O.O I think I get it... That sucks. Same here. I had about 3.5k in the bank, for college, which I saved of my own money, but transportation via bus, laundry, food, and that $800 has dwindled it away (though not completely). Certainly not enough for a car. I couldn't agree more on that bit. College is more important I think anyways. Yeah, for your own personal feelings on the matter, not because it'll necessarily make things instantly better. There's just that point where you don't know if you don't try, and if you don't try then your left with the feeling that you could of done/said more. I don't think anyone likes that feeling. >>
.....that is a bit of a problem, yes. Oh, I definitely know about the personal feelings being important. MY dad is super screwed up because he never said anything to his mom about stuff that bothered him and now that she's got alzheimer's, he CAN'T.... I refuse, flat out refuse to end up like him, so I have plans to always find a way to say SOMETHING. And I've plans to do the same to my b***h paternal relatives....after grammy dies. because my one aunt has been asking for it for years. and since I know I am smarter than her, about many of the things she thinks she knows....I will TROUNCE her. I mean, she told my parents (actually my father, cuz apparently, my mom doesn't actually count as a member of the family to my aunt (and gramma on that side)....>_> ) that they raised my sister and I WRONG. and that aunt has NEVER had children, because she is physically incapable....so I will take much glee in saying that "no one else could have been as good of a parent to me." TO HER FACE. Because I'd be implying that she would have been a terrible mother, which considering that she is waaaay too much like my grandmother....she would have been. and her actions so far are in agreement with my opinion. Besides, she really needs to be verbally slapped. She is such a bitchy person, mainly because she feels inferior....and because she has always felt inferior (specifically to my father, because my dad is so smart she could never be as smart as him) she created a self-fulfilling prophecy for herself. So she trying to be controlling of everyone else....and sucks at it. But she's caused so much emotional damage and other issues, I am more than willing to tell her, imply to her, in person, that she doesn't know as much as she thinks, that she was a horrible aunt, would have been a bad parent (cuz she seems to think she would be a better parent than my mother (dad kinda doesn't count....>_> many reason why)) and such, because she needs it. she needs a "I might be significantly younger than you, but I know so much more than you." because she needs an ego check. BADLY. I can check my ego. Because I know that I am not the best, greatest, most perfect person ever. I'm me. Screwy person that I am.
Yep. >< Oh wow. For sure Amu, I agree that you should stand up for yourself sometimes. People like that really just ought not be preaching such bile when they really don't know what they're talking about. I can kinda relate. My aunt hasn't had kids of her own but was always trying to tell my parents to raise my brothers and I. Though my aunt was right on some points, because she is an intelligent woman, and my mother is not a good parent, it still wasn't her place, and she clearly played a roll in the wedge that was driven between my parents and lead to their divorce; well, aside from the fact that my mother is a psycotic, self serving, heartless b****. sweatdropemotion_awesome
....wow. Well, at least your aunt is intelligent....mine....well, she is intelligent...she does have a master's degree, but she's not really intelligent... But I still have to wait until my paternal grandmother dies to do this. At least, that is the agreement I have with my mother. And agreement I am super surprised she made with me. I think my mother figures I will never either actually do this, remember about this or have the chance to....(she has stated that she doesn't think I should do this anyway, on the basis that she'd not understand my point. I told her I was wanting to do it for myself, not to try and teach her anything. If she learns anything, that's a bonus.)
*hugs* Having a mother like that sounds un-fun...
Oh..she's that kind of no-smart. >> I see.. so as not to stir up too much trouble/stress for her? It certainly doesn't seem you'll forget, so no matter what your mother thinks.. you have the ability to do what you feel you need to.
emotion_hug no its not, but I don't have to deal with her anymore. So, it's all good. ^^
Yep. That kind. No....both my mom and I know that she'll never learn. I think my mom originally thought I was trying to teach that aunt....which I'm not. Oh, I definitely will not forget. Because of the simple fact that since my paternal gramma is going senile...and I cannot say to her what I'd dearly love to say....I'm going to make SURE I say what I intend to to that aunt.
That's good. ^_^ I'd be all "*tries to find way to help selle if still have to deal with*" if you still had to deal with that.
I was meaning like, less stress for your grandma, not your aunt. Ya know, since you're waiting until after she dies to say what you need to, to your aunt. Makes sense though. Don't let all the chances get away from you.
Yesh. ^^ Awwww.. that's sweet. 4laugh

mrgreen Start with dates. Then the themes for each day. And then the special anon thing~
Suishohatake
Ok.. hmmm.. well, if it's the 12 days of Christmas, then shouldn't it be the 12 days leading up to Christmas? So, starting on the 14'th with the last day being Christmas, the 25'th. Help come up with themes? ^^ Lets seeeeee.....
Dec 14'th: Snow Dec 15'th: Sweets Dec 16'th: Dec 17'th: Dec 18'th: Dec 19'th: Dec 20'th: Dec 21'st: Dec 22'nd: Dec 23'rd: Dec 24'th: Presents Dec 25'th: Santa/Elves(?)
And then what sort of anon event... hmmmmm...
Hehe! Looks good! Well I'll leave the planning to you guys for now... Paint's been distracting me with tumblrs and such so I'm not much good for anything except scattered chatting xD
Oh thanks Suisho! Ok then. XD Lol.. well, it's all here so you can keep updated if you wanna. :]
