The official Yoshi's Corner Secret Santa Exchange 2005 is now over!
~~~
There was such a huge response, we thank you all for your hard work and dedication in making the first ever Secret Santa at Yoshi's Corner a success! Over 30 members posted, and each gift was truly unique. I'm sure every single piece of art/poetry/writing brought the santees much joy for the holidays.
~~~
But!
Even though there was such a great response to the exchange, a few people still did not receive their promised gifts. This is a huge shame, and I think it is quite safe to say we can't let this happen to our fellow members. That is why for a short period only, we are opening this topic for a request-plea to anyone who wishes to make up for these few which unfortunately did not receive such gifts. There were three people who did not get a gift of any sort and contributed to the exchange as well, so please help these members get a gift they deserve!
As there are only three people that didn't get their gifts, it would be silly to establish another Secret Santa. Although, I feel the element of surprise is always nice, so I will personally assign those who volunteer to this 'mini-exchange' with a random names-in-a-hat-picking. The deadline will be lengthed for these select few, so please read the additional rules below.

- The three santees who DID NOT receive gifts are:
- L.D Ryoko
- Teo
- Cayoshi
Cayoshi is a slightly special case, as according to the SecretSanta.com site, she was neither assigned nor did she draw for anyone. I included them either way.

If you wish to volunteer for this, please send me a PM. I'll leave it open to first come first serve, or if I get too many I shall randomly assign via hat-picking again.

- Deadline for topic posting is now 20th January!
The volunteers are allowed until the 20th of January to post their pictures. If all the pictures are posted before this date however, the topic-posting lock of this forum will be enforced as soon as all members have posted their gifts!
- Comment posting is still active until 31st January!
This rule is still the same, the entire Secret Santa forum will be locked on this date and cast in solid gold for the Yoshi Filing Cabinet! Or...well...maybe not. But it will be locked and sent there for posterity sake.

The punishments for those who did not commit to this event is still being discussed.
Again, we thank you for your time and dedication to this greatly successful exchange! May we have many more in the future...
Thank you all from Yoshi's Corner!
