>Why should I trust this? It's up to you. We’ve had multiple successful SS events hosted by us for the past few years. Although the average amount of people not receiving gifts is low, the risk still exists. Please be aware that your mileage will vary. However, we do provide a grinched protection program which allows people to send gifts to those who didn't receive anything at all... even after X-mas! >Can I give you guys stuff? Please send us your Christmas cheer only! >I ALREADY JOINED, HOW DO I FIX SOMETHING? If you need to make changes to your wishlist or address, or anything else: please RE-SEND the application with the changes made as a REPLY to your first e-mail! Having the email thread history allows us to keep track and provide a timely response! Let us know what specific changes were made.///More FAQ///>Is the price of shipping included in the price tier? No shipping costs are NOT included in the tier. Make sure to budget in not only shipping/hidden handling costs but the time and effort it takes to create cards and package the gift. >What tier should I join? Pick whichever tier you feel most comfortable with, however please be aware that we may switch it depending on our ability to match you. >When are the threads going to be? Threads are created only on Fridays/weekends until we get closer to X-mas. The Santas will create them. >What’s a handmade gift? Take a look around in the threads. You’ll see plenty of examples of knitting, laser cut wood, horrifying waifu masks, and much much more. People bake cookies/brownies or buy snacks and supply booze local to their country.

OTHER THINGS FOR THIS YEAR>handmade we now have a specific handmade tier. we've combined the tiers so now there is a handmade specific tier and a $25-50 tier.>emails Make sure to use a normal email address with a standard TLD. Emails from odd or new domains and TLD's may get sent to the shadow realm by Microsoft. if you sent us an email and didn't get a response and you think it may have been due to this, try using an alternate address.>mail service The quality of global postal services seems to have declined a lot over the last few years and a lot of people had missing cards last year that they sent but were not received. We highly recommend this year to either get tracking when you send your cards or to take pictures of them before you send them in case the postal service loses/steals them.>banned countries we are not taking new participants from Canada this year (entirely), if you've already participated in previous years and are whitelisted you're all good.

Anon10/23/26, 20:52No.291808562

if you have any list revisions feel free to send us an email and we can update your list on our end ahead of matching next weekend.

Looking for your initials? I have them herehttps://www.fattycontest.com/santa/

Anon10/23/26, 21:20No.291809178

question I'm making a stained glass piece for whatever anon I get this year, but I'm not really sure how big to go with it. I'd like to make something big but I dunno. Would someone want something smaller that's easier to find a spot for/hang in a window or would you be happy getting something pretty big? I don't wanna make something that ends up being a pain for someone to find a place for, ya knowFor reference the piece I've been working on and off for months now is like 28in tall and 22in-ish wide. Also heavy as shit.

I want to try the experience once but I'm also scared about dissapointing the anon on the other end, my imagination for a handmade gift is zero. though maybe this is the year where I actually participate instead of just lurk

Anon10/23/26, 23:25No.291811780

I signed up!

Anon10/24/26, 02:45No.291815122

I will be baking cookies again this year. been a few years since I actually sent them with cards/gifts

I bough cheap chinese acrylic paint set. the card will still look terrible, but at least flashy.

Only one week left for homocards sign-ups.>What's homocards? A smaller cards-only exchange that runs parallel to Secret S/a/nta, dedicated to anons who are partial to the male anime aesthetic. To participate, just fill out the form below and send it to [email protected] Signups are open until October 31st, 12 PM. If you have any special request, let me know in your email. After some deliberation, this year I have decided to limit the maximum amount of cards to 5 in order to avoid repeat assignments due to the small pool of participants.Name:Country:FULL Address (check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address for the correct format to use):How many cards do you want to exchange (0-5):I want to send my cards (choose ONE - I don't recommend picking c if you're not from the US or Canada, most likely I won't be able to match you): a) anywhere b) to my continent only c) to my country onlyCard Wishlist (this is what will be sent to the anon(s) who get assigned to send a card to you. Describe here what you'd like to see in your card, e.g. you're husbando, OTP, favorite shows/manga...only MALE characters allowed.):Lewd is okay? (Y/N):

Anon10/24/26, 15:42No.291824716

With the postal service getting shittier every year, we should really get our assignments earlier. I didn't even get my whitelist card last year and one of my cards got returned to me in July for no reason.

Anon10/24/26, 15:48No.291824865

Although Canada is now banned, to anyone interested in receiving a holiday card from /a/toronto this year, you can still email [email protected] with your details. We already received emails from anons last year, so they'll be getting this years card. Of course, we'll still be signing up and getting addresses from the Santas as well, but if you don't want to leave it up to chance, this will guarantee a card. You can include your wishlist but there's no guarantee it'll be part of the card (unless we like it). Frohe Weihnachten!

Found the recipieYou'll want to x2 these ingredients because the batch size is pretty small for this recipie despite what it says

For someone new would you anons recommend or not recommend being open to doing a gift for someone internationally

Anon10/24/26, 19:16No.291829793

Gonna be my first one so I'm pretty excited. You anons have any favorite treats you've received in the past?

Hi CB from GA I received your card just a few days after the last January thread died. I intended to send a thank you card but suddenly 10 months passed and now we are here again… Thanks for the lovely Kumiko card! Her fluffy hair is indeed a fundamental feature of this character, it just looks really nice and I had always wanted to get a card with her on it. I appreciate the extra busy CITY card protector too! Did you manage to watch it? I had mixed feelings about it, but ultimately, I’m thankful this show existed at all. I doubt we’ll have anything like it in a really long time, so that’s why I was insisting on having this show on last year’s cards. Also, I can’t just ignore a cute Sher when I see it, lovely detail! I’m 95% sure I won’t be participating this year, but I hope (you) and everyone else have fun with this event, please keep it alive so we can see each other next year!My IP is range has been range banned to upload images since last year… the card is here: https://i.imgur.com/AEpIBh5.jpeg

I haven't been on this board in many moon so a quick question kind sirs. Is Santa Yui still a thing or did it die off?

If I, hypothetically, gigantically fucked up last years presents and want to do right this year, would that be possible, or is it one chance and you're out?
