Jolly old St. Nicholas needs your help stuffing stockings with gifts this year.
You will visit other club members' blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a gift for their stocking. Since usernames no longer show up in the comments, please also leave your username with your message. You may visit other people more than once if you wish.
Examples from previous years:
Sneaks in and hangs a gold, red, and green candycane on your stocking..lets see what else we have, ah, a heart plushie as well as a baby quell plushie.
Happy holidays!!
*Slips in a glittering Diamond*
Slips a Traditional Yule Log into your stocking. Don't worry, I didn't light the candles yet
Hops down the chimney stuffing your stocking with some Christmas cheer!
*Merry Christmas*
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Santa's little helper has just slipped down the chimney and dropped some goodies into your stocking. Happy Holidays.
You do not have to deliver presents to the entire list of people, but I hope that everyone who participates completes the full list. Please keep the presents to a reasonable value. This event is meant for small gifts. Save your large gifts for Secret Santa later in the month. Keep in mind that if you participate you may or may not get equal or greater value gifts. All Mara gifting rules apply. This is meant to be a fun little club activity, and is not a guarantee that you will receive high priced items.
When sign up closes December 4th, this page will have a full list of all participants as well as the address of their blogs to make things easier and so everyone can find who's participating at a glance.

Dani usually runs a pass the Christmas present event with a fairly high value.
I thought we'd put more of a white elephant twist to it and keep everything available in SS. All presents passed need to be in the 150K - 250K mp range.
This ends August 31, 2024.
This game is very simple. The first to post will get a present. That present will be worth between 150K mp and 250K mp. That person may keep the present and replace it with one of similar value, OR they may pass the same present that was sent to them.
Tag the person who pasted before you, and they will send you the present. You have the option of keeping it and replacing with a present of similar value or sending the same present to the one who tags you.
You MUST tag the last to post in order to get the present. This way they know who to send to.
The value of the present is NEVER to drop below 150,000 mp or go above 250,000 mp
Unlike the Christmas event where everything is kept a surprise, half the fun of a white elephant event is seeing what people drag out of their closets - or in Mara's case attic - and you may post what you received.
Every now and then we get the same 2 passing back and forth. Please if you notice that you're just passing with the same person over and over wait until someone else participates!
The person who has the present when this ends gets to keep it.
Sometimes the present gets lost. That happens, no big. If it happens let me know! That way I can send the present to you and keep the game going!
