Dear Secret Santa
For the most part, it looks like the first Tumblr Secret Santa Exchange was a huge success! I got lots of happy emails from people who had a great time participating, and I’m so glad you all had a good time with it :)
However, I’m still getting some emails from people who are bummed because they haven’t received a gift yet. This makes me so sad!
If you signed up for the secret santa project, then you committed to sending someone a gift…and you should do it. At the very (VERY) least, send an email to your secret santa person telling them what’s going on. If you absolutely can’t spend ANY money, how about making a mix tape and emailing it to them?
Since so much time has elapsed since the exchange date, it looks like elfster has “resolved” the exchange or whatever, meaning I am no longer able to look up who drew whom. I’m going to email the guy who runs elfster to see if there is a way I can go back and check out who some people’s secret santas were, because I feel terrible that they missed out on the fun.
For the time being, sit tight and I’ll work on a solution for what to do for the people who didn’t receive anything. And try to remember that the real fun of this was giving a sweet gift to someone and making their Christmas brighter…so if you sent your gift, you got to participate the best part, and your lame secret santa missed out! And hopefully they will realize their mistake and rectify it soon :)
Dear Secret Santa,
It’s totally cool - I am horribly good at procrastination too (no really, one of my resolutions this year is to try to “do it now”). So no worries about not sending the gift yet - it’ll be even more of an awesome surprise in a month pretty devoid of holiday cheer. But if you could send me an email - outtheother at gmail - that would totally rock, and that way I won’t feel forgotten.
And if you can’t send anything - which I also totally get - Katie’s suggestion of a mix is a GREAT one for me. Obvs I love music a ton, and it’s great to let someone else DJ every once in a while. Book recommendations, links to awesomeness online and other stuff is cool too.
Love,
Janet
p.s. I’m serious, this is totally something I would do. Plus I would prob be too embarassed to email, but DON’T BE LIKE ME. :)
