You know what time it is? SECRET SANTA TIME!
-
Welcome to the 2015 HJ Secret Santa!
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
And Christmas means Secret Santa time!
You can enter HJ1 or HJ2 Secret Santas, or both (if you have an account on both games). If you will be joining both games please fill out 2 separate forms, one for each game and send your message in that game's forum to keep everything clear.
There are two groups to choose from; Under 100k and Over 100k worth of gifts. The persons name you receive will be from the same group you signed up for. Pick the group that best fits your financial status. **Keep in mind, real life cash is not required for the over 100k group; many amazing gifts are found without that added boost - don't let this deter you from entering this level. The receiving is not what is important here, it's the feeling of giving the perfect present for that special someone!**
Submit your entries anytime between December 1st and December 14th.
THERE IS A CHANGE THIS YEAR!
Send your entry in as an in game Private Message via the HJ forum to your game's Santa
HJ1 entries (OVER or UNDER 100ks) go to Blue Meadow Farm.
HJ2 entries (OVER or UNDER 100ks) go to EccentricEquines.
On or before December 15th the Santa will send you a PM with the name and ID# of the person you will be giving gifts to, and that persons wish list.
Between December 23rd and 25th you can send a PM to your gift recipient and let them know what you have for them! Anonymous gifts may be sent any time after December 20th. The elf for HJ2 is going to be Redbud (ID #184) - they can help you with relaying information you forgot to provide to your Secret Santa, or as an anonymous horse buyer, question asker, and overall fun helper for the Secret Santas themselves once names are given out. Thanks for your help Redbud!
********************************************************************************************
Reminders:
-Do you have any members blocked from viewing your barns? If so, you may need to unblock those barns for Secret Santa. It’s the Christmas season, the time of year to put aside any differences!
-Do you have any brothers, sisters, spouses or other family members that that play the game? If so, tell us your family members forum name on the entry form. The ONLY exceptions made to a random draw for SS will be for family members.
-Would you be willing to be a last minute back up SS, if needed? You would not get your SS name until closer to December 23, in the event someone drops out, or is unable to participate at the last minute. Send a note to either Santa to let them know you would be willing, if so.
************************************************************************************
How to give anonymous gifts (only available if you have an online payment account like PayPal):
1. Go to the Upgrades link on the menu on the left side of your game screen
2. Select the Upgrade you want to buy (or barns, pastures, boost tokens, GMT Token, or Game cash – HBs).
3. Replace your Stable ID number (in the box provided) with the Stable ID number of the person you want to receive the gift.
4. Click add to cart.
5. You will then be directed to the payment method page (PayPal), to pay for the gift.
6. The gift will appear in the stable of the person whose ID you entered.
You can also send eggs, straws, and embryos via the Advanced Breeding Lab without the receipient knowing where they came from (be careful if they are all your own horses, as they may guess who you are!) This years elves for each forum will be noted once known - you can contact those people to help you buy horses inconspicuously and hold them until you are ready to send them.
************************************************************************************
Some gift ideas:
Rare genes (including new genes such as DP [dense pigment], wild bay, and the new browns, as well as the old Limited Edition like Sooty Plus, Sabino1/2/3, W3/4, Satin, Kit Promoter, Gulastra Plume, all the Ices, Splash2 or Splash3 and the new nexus gene!)
HBs
Breeding Horses
Show Ponies
Signature art
Tattoo Art
Eggs
Straws
Barns or pastures
GMT tokens or Candycane/seaponies
Boosts
Level Upgrades
************************************************************************************
Last but NOT least, the most important thing:
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ENTRY!
Be sure you list your Forum name, ID number, server number, and likes and dislikes.
For the entry, copy below this line, paste into a forum private message, fill out and send to the appropriate Santa. Your Santa will send a note back within 48 hours indicating it was received. If you do not hear back after that time, please check in via Private Message to make sure it was received.

This is a great idea! What would you recommend for someone new who has plenty of in-game money, but isn't a paying member?
-
Rose, I'd say go with over 100k if you can afford it in game, and don't feel like you have to spend real money... not what it's about.
I can't wait, this was so much fun in past years! -
I agree with Abbey, if you have the in-game money, go for the over 100k. I realize that you are unable to purchase and then give straws/eggs to your SS, but I'm sure our elf/elves would be able to help you with that. And I'd be happy to help out in anyway that I can.#110
-
Sweet, thanks, I will! Now I just have to figure out what I want. :P
-
This looks like fun. I'm game. Sent my form.Thanked by 1EccentricEquines
-
It is very fun!
-
Thanks for all the submissions so far. Just a warning for those who are 'on the fence' about signing up; you only have until tomorrow to do it! So come join us on 'this side of the fence' (it's more fun here :) ). And just a note to those who have signed up already; please bare with me, I will be handing out your recipients possibly on Sunday, but no later then Monday. I know we are all excited for this, so I'm sorry about that ;) I am also needing a volunteer to be a back-up SS for the over 100K catagory if needed, any takers??#110
-
I can be the back up.
-
Aw, Cheers, you're not gonna play?
-
I'm playing, Abbey! I just said I'd do 2 if needed.
-
I can help too if you need another back up for either category
-
Can I just remind people that there are two Facebook groups headed by Ellie? One is for discussion, and the other is the official page that has giveaways and such posted to it, like the Weekend Wishes giveaway every weekend. Here's why this is topical:
If you post something to a giveaway and you forget to add it to your SS wish list, a player could go to the giveaway and find your wish. However, if you aren't listed in the Who's Who document in the discussion page, the SS can't find you as easily. For all players who want to get what they like, please go to the discussion page and edit your name and username onto the Who's Who document.
You may like to keep yourself anonymous, and that's okay. But, your SS might get incomplete information about what would really please you in receiving. Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas!Thanked by 1Abbey Road -
Nice and beautiful idea.
Merry Christmas!understand the significance of signatures -
So, how's everyone's experience going on the SS giving/receiving this Christmas? I thought I would just remind everyone that you are officially 'allowed' to notify your SS and let them know who you are. Ooooooorrrr, you can make them wait till Christmas day, the choice is all yours. Hope everyone has had fun with this. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you :)#110
-
No it has worked out great for me. I was able to get all the items I was looking for, for my SS. I just have to resist until Christmas Day to reveal to my SS recipient. I only have two more days!
-
It's mid morning Christmas Eve here. First part of the reveal is done!
-
It's still Christmas Eve's eve here, and I'm going to wait until at least Eve's night to reveal myself. How's all the Australians' Eve been going so far?
-
Cool and rainy here with that strange summer storm quality to the light that makes the leaves on the trees glow almost neon green. Now if the oven would decide to work....
-
Cheers, you're a poet :)
Had so much fun showering my giftee with presents this morning. I hope everyone has/had a wonderful merry Christmas/Yule/Hanukkah/New Year, in game and out. Bright blessings!Thanked by 1Ritsika -
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
-
I wanna know who my SS is so bad. I have a hunchLife is Special live it to your fullest
-
Just a real quick Merry Christmas to everyone for now. I am at work on lunch break. I will be back to let my SS recipient know what their gifts are after I get home.....Thanked by 1Abbey Road
