What is it:
Since we're getting into winter now and, with the nature of things going on this year, I know it's reformed holiday plans for many of us. Likewise, being almost a year into the game I know things can begin to stagnate for some. The idea is to have a gift exchange of sorts but one that also includes a bit of decorating (or a lot if you're into that). Wrapping a present, visiting another person or being visited, and seeing/showing a little piece of something decorated for the season might be uplifting for a lot of us right now even if brief.
When is it:
The gift exchange event will be open from December 18th to December 24th. That said, this topic is open and being made now because some expressed they'd like an avenue to connect/help one another decorate.
So if you'd like to coordinate with others before then to share ideas, help craft for one another, struggling to find an item to decorate with, etc - you can use this topic up to the event time.
How to participate:
Character Name:
Town:
Availability:
Current number of Santas (update the number as you go):
Festive area photo (optional):
As always, if you have any questions or feel there's anything I missed or should add...feel free to pm me, I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

How to participate:
- Simply acquire a tree placed outdoors (I put festive tree but it can be the illuminated tree or even really one of the pines with lights if you can't get those) before you plan to partake in the event (18th to 24th). Decorate around it as much or as little as you wish with space of course open around the tree for presents to be dropped.
- Acquire some gifts and wrap them in wrapping paper for others. There's no requirement on what or how expensive the gift needs to be. Just try to be respectful and don't troll people with items (i.e. a toilet or trash items). How many gifts you do is up to you, but I think a general rule to go by is plan to gift as many as you plan to receive.
- Check back anywhere between the 18th and 24th to interact with others on exchanging gifts and seeing their areas. Whether you want to be active in this topic with others up to then is up to you and okay either way.
- When the event is officially active, you should simply post the form at the end of this topic indicating to others you want to receive presents at your town. Not required - If you want to attach a photo of your completed decorated area with it that way we can see everyone's areas even if we don't get to be your santa.
- Others will pm you directly to deliver and you will pm others directly if you want to deliver while the event is active.
- If a visitor, you'll go to drop off your present under the tree of the person you pm.
- If a host, you'll open your town and lead your "santa" to your area so they can drop off the present under your tree.
- Save your gifts under your tree till the 25th if you'd like. If you don't wish to celebrate opening them that's fine too. However, feel free to come back after the 24th and share a photo with your gift opening if you'd like.
- Be kind - All of tbt's rules apply
- Respect other's towns when visiting and viewing people's displays (ask beforehand if they have any considerations if you are unsure about what you can and cannot do)
- Credit your "santas" in your post - You don't have to specifically name people but simply the number of santas you've had is fine. That way we know who may be okay on gifts and who may need more to reach out.

I don't time-travel, but I can help out with crafting Festive recipes once cedar trees start dropping ornaments on the 15th. I am typically available Monday through Thursday during the evening and most of the day on Saturday and Sunday.
