( A CELESMAS GIFT EXCHANGE )
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------'

The holiday season of Celesmas is soon to be upon us, and it's time to spread some festive joy throughout Sapience!

I'm excited to invite everyone to participate in a Secret Celesmas Exchange as a fun and heartwarming way to celebrate the season of giving beneath the Midwinter Star.

This will be a world-wide event, so there is a strong chance you will have a Secret Celesmas recipient across City or Council lines. However, all exchanges will be kept private and strictly between those who are participating. These will be completely randomised.

Here's how it works:

1. Sign Up:
- Message me, Ivonia, with a few things!
1. Your interest in participating in the exchange.
2. Four words about yourself that your gift-giver can use to consider your gift.
3. If by some chance there is a person or persons you absolutely cannot communicate with, please note them at the end.


2. Receive Your Secret Celesmas Recipient:
- Seven weeks after this posting, you'll be randomly assigned a recipient to surprise with a thoughtful gift!


3. Get Creative:
- Whether it's something handmade, a special treat, or a heartfelt letter, let your creativity shine. Remember, it's the thought that counts!


4. Exchange Gifts:
- Before the end of Celesmas, I'll collect all the gifts and distribute them out to their proper persons. If you'd personally like to deliver the gift, let me know and we can arrange something.


This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with old friends, new ones, enemies and more, all while embracing the charitable spirit of Ironbeard and Celesmas. Through war, peace and strife, let's come together and make this Celesmas one to remember!
