Gutted to hear about the end of #SecretSantaNZ. I hope it can be revived at some point, and I want to thank the amazing team who've made it happen all this time. Y'all are rock stars. :birdheart:

Hi team, how are you all doing? Just thought I’d pop over here in case you hadn’t heard the news re #SecretSantaNZ

NZ Mastodon Instances may see another influx. #SecretSantaNZ

Thank you to my #SecretSantaNZ #secretsantanz2022 for such lovely gifts!

I have to admit, the joy and randomness and delight and community of #SecretSantaNZ was one of the reasons I hoped our move to NZ nearly three years ago had worked out. #divulgeDecember

I have lingered on the bird site for long enough. Now that Aaron Rupar amongst many others have been suspended, I will officially leave it after #SecretSantaNZ so let’s get the party going here!

Friendly reminder to players in the birdsite's #SecretSantaNZ (#SecretSantaNZ2020) game;

Please head back over (even if you've stopped posting there, or closed your account) and confirm receipt of your gifts if you have one?

While you may have made the jump to here completely, a lot of our players haven't, and we're seeing lots of people worried their gifts haven't arrived.

Kia ora

I’m so proud of myself. I actually remembered to post my #SecretSantaNZ gift today. Mine is more like a #NotSecretSantaNZ, though, because I excitedly blurted out that if they’d DM me their address, I’d send their request.

Oh, and I totally forgot to put a note in! 🤣 @MamaK

@explorergrace I managed to get to a post shop and get mine sent today in my lunch break. I love #SecretSantaNZ but it always sneaks up on me.
#SecretSantaNZ2022

Dear #SecretSantaNZ2022 giftee! It's been sent! Hope you enjoy your gift! As the first time, I've done #SecretSantaNZ it has been great! Will do it next year, and the wife wants to join in as well! Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy the gifts on the 20th of Dec!

My Secret Santa gift has been sent off with the elf delivery service. Next.

We also forgot to do our #hashtag roundup when we did our intro.

So i'll do it for us!

I feel a big relieved to have arrived. Kind of like I escaped from Pompeii! Anyway, I figuring this platform out.
And looking for my #SecretSantaNZ peeps.

Great news. Address is showing up for my Secret Santa giftee! Saved that and hints in my email in case. If you’re participating check the app out…#SecretSantaNZ

Missing the joy that comes with seeing comments about #SecretSantaNZ on the bird site.

I feel like if we had #SecretSantaNZ over here i wouldn't need to go back to the birdsite again.

What say ye @FoxyLustyGrover, next year we move over here?

In news that will amuse @Orthanc (if no one else), I seriously pondered "outing myself" as the maker of one of my most favourite outbound #SecretSantaNZ gifts here on Mastodon the other week (only the elves & a very few others know it was me).

I thought maybe I could claim it here, and it wouldn't distract from the mana of the taonga - which I wanted to remain in place over on the birdsite.

And now you're all here, so I'm very glad I didn't 🤣

@happyfishmedia
Don't suppose anyone out there has a cunning plan to make this happen..? #SecretSantaNZ

Welcome to the collection, tiny P-51 Mustang Tuskegee! 😍

Since I believe my #SecretSantaNZ lurks here as well...guess what's next? 😉👀
