Can you believe we have winter again, how time flies! And winter means Christmas in my mind, and Christmas means gifts - GOG gifts! With a great pleasure I invite you to join us in the Secret Santa!

In Secret Santa you'll give and receive a Christmas GOG gift, if you're not familiar with the idea - here's a great thread by BranjoHello that contains all the Secret Santa previous editions.

I wrote - I invite you with a great pleasure - and I really mean it. Every year this event brings lots of smiles on GOG forums. Last year, my first year hosting, I had a lot o fun, exchanging so many positive messages with all of you, and sharing wonderful gifts. Let the Secret Santa 2022 begin!

Rules (not changed since the previous edition):

1. If you wish to participate please state "I wish to be a Secret Santa".

2. You will have to either:
a. make your wishlist public,
b. post a wishlist here in this thread, or
c. send me a wishlist that I will provide to your Secret Santa.

3. The keys you purchase send to me and I will hold onto them and send them out to your giftee on the Christmas Day (December 25th).

4. If you do not wish to receive gifts but would still like to gift someone please state "I wish to be a Secret Elf".

5. If you do not wish to receive gifts but would like to help out in case a circumstance occurs where someone can not buy the gifts like they wanted, please state "I would like to be a Helper Elf".

6. Only GOG gifts please, no Steam or other source.

7. This is one of the most important things, once you receive a giftee that means everyone has a giftee and you must not remove or buy anything from your wishlist! If there is a game you really want and feel you can't resist buying then don't put it on the list or enter any giveaways for it. You can add to your list all you want, just don't take away from it after I close the registration phase.

8. I will close signups around December 18th.

9. Please deliver (via PM) your gifts to me till December 24th.

10. Last year's novelty, that worked out pretty well, I think: I encourage you to add an optional note for your giftee - about why you chose this/these game(s) to gift above other ones, or just your wishes for Christmas and 2023.

On the last note - please remember, the GOG account you use to purchase a gift will be seen by the recipient (giftee) - if you'd like to remain anonymous, you'd have to create another GOG account for that purpose.

If you're not familiar with gift purchasing on GOG, here's a support article on that topic. If you have any questions, feel free to message me :-)
