Now, only one more day till Christmas. ;D I guess it's about high time now I tell you that this year we'll have a special feature: a secret secret Santa. ;D One of you of course knows already who that is, but especially the member who will get their present from them will surely be surprised. I will explain everything once the gift giving is over. Until then: enjoy, and have fun. ;D Can we know about the secret secret Santa now? Inquiring minds want to know  |

Oooh, right. I still owe you an explanation. Weeell, basically, since you stalked the board for Christmas: Did you notice there was one gift-receiver and Secret Santa who was not signed up for the lottery? Exactly! ;D Thing is, the day after I had started the lottery Kalani logged in. She'd always taken part before which was why I was rather sad she'd not managed to sign up in time. She instantly pm-ed me though and asked if there was still chance for her taking part and I told her that the only chance there was, was someone choosing their own number. I have made it a rule never to change picks unless for someone who unknowingly picked themself. Luckily, one of you did (contrary to what I wrote ... which wasn't a lie but me not realizing we had a self-pick until after I had posted that) and so I was able to include Kalani as sort of a joker in all of this.  The member in question by the way was Teti. ;D additional: Meh, that awesome huge grin smiley is gone. That was one of my favourites.  |

Nope, you were quite right. She was the secret Secret Santa. |

Ah, yeah, I was surprised when I received the gift from Kalani because I didn't remember that she had said she would join the secret Santa. However, I thought I had been too busy to notice everything on board so I didn't question. Which one? Isn't it here |

And I was kinda counting on that no one would really notice and bother. I figured, you'd all agree with including her as our joker, so the only one I informed about it all was Teti herself. The moment I sent her Lani's name, I also let her know how she came to make a present for someone who had not signed up.  And as for the smiley... weeell, it kind-of is. But I actually liked that you had that smiley with the dark mouth which showed kind of an excited laugh, and then the one with the huge grin which looked similar to the one you posted but was so much more maniac than this new one. Now there's only one emoticon with a laugh, and " ;D " doesn't lead to anything anymore.  |

Haha. I've checked the gifts to make sure there are fourteen gifts because yesterday when I checked the gifts I already saw we have thirteenth gifts from thirteen people. I forgot that my fic for Dermott wasn't shared. So really, even I made the check I still didn't notice.  About the icon, you're right. That's why I see it's not as cute as before but actually they're different icons not one. Let see if I can find the replacement. How about this:  |
