:whee: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! :whee:

 

It is my absolute pleasure to bring you the Official 2016 CGC Forums Holiday Gift Exchange Sign-up!

Christmas and the holiday season are fast approaching, so we need to do this quickly!

 

The annual CGC Forum Gift Exchange Program is now underway.

 

For those who are new to the Program or otherwise have a very bad memory, the idea is simple. Basically you will give a gift to a fellow board member, and also receive a gift yourself from a different boardie. This way, each person will get to interact with two fellow boardies in the Gift Exchange Program. It does not matter what seasonal Holiday you celebrate, what creed or religion you claim, this Gift Exchange is more about giving and getting a gift than celebrating a specific holiday. We are celebrating comics and our community. Times may currently be tough for some, but it is worth pausing to recognize the importance the CGC community brings to each of you.

 

Some Details on the Exchange Program

 

How much should my gift be for? Up to you. There are people that send gifts that have values that are all over the place. $15-20? Sure. $50-$100? Sure. You are certainly welcome to send more expensive gifts, but the gift should be worth at least $15. Lots of people just give something from their own collection, so the cost is negligible.

 

Does my gift have to be new? No

 

Does it have to be comic related? Yes

 

Am I supposed to sign who my gift was from? Yes, you should - your identity is only secret till they open their gift.

 

Do I have to wrap my gift in a Holiday fashion?. Yes. Extra points for wrapping it in the Sunday Comics

 

Am I supposed to wait until Christmas to open my gift? Yes, unless you celebrate another holiday in which case, follow your traditional holiday gift opening program

 

How will I know who I am Santa for? I will PM you with the details once sign up is over.

 

When is sign up over? November 24th. PMs will be sent out that day/night.

 

What if I miss sign up but want to participate? PM me, we will try to work something out.

 

What and when is the Holiday raffle? People will be donating comic related prizes that will be given away after the Holiday is over in a blind drawing.(more details about that will be in another thread.)

 

:news:*pay attention to this part* Participating in the exchange does not automatically enter you into the raffle. Anyone who wants to be part of the raffle must donate an item. This assures everyone who joins is guaranteed to receive a prize. If you don't join in with the gift exchange, but would still like to join in with the raffle, just donate a prize to the raffle and you'll be entered. Not participating in the gift exchange? Not donating a prize for the raffle? That's okay, as well.

 

*Many first time participants have been asking about the specifics of raffle donations. You can use the link below to look at last year's raffle and see what was donated.

If you decide, after submitting the form, that you would like to donate something simply bump our PM.*

 

What if I never receive my gift? There will be people who will be assigned as a back up Santa.. everyone who signs up will get a gift..sooner or later.

 

Who is eligible to participate? Everyone here is allowed to join in the fun, provided that you are a member in good standing with the community, i.e., not on the CGC Board Marketplace Probation List.

 

The rules are simple, but need to be followed to make sure everyone who signs up gets a present by Christmas. If you sign up, please follow through and don't wait until after the fact go fulfill your duties.
