UPDATE:  HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!  Hope you have a great holiday season!  Thanks for all who volunteered, and those who added wishes!  Our industrious elves are already working on those wishes.  Stay tuned for the big reveals on the Jan 7th LiveCast.  Registration for Wishes and Elves is now closed!  Enjoy this special time with your family now!

Back by popular demand:
The WikiTree Secret Santa Challenge!

With the success of last year's Secret Santa Challenge, and the  great work done on all the weekly Challenges throughout this year, we absolutely had to have another Secret Santa Challenge to end 2022! What better way to end another year but by giving back to our fellow WikiTreers! 

WANTED:  

* ELVES : we need generous WikiTree elves who are willing to give their time and resources to help fulfill some of these wishes.  Elves will also answer this post and state that they are willing to help.  

Details:

* This G2G post is for Elf sign-up only please. 

(Check out the G2G post asking for "Secret Santa 2022 - Wishes Accepted")

* Santa's Mailbox will be overflowing with great genealogy wishes - we're looking forward to  many fun and challenging ones.  Join as an Elf to help!

* Kickoff for the Santa Challenge is 10 a.m. EST on Saturday, December 24th with a Zoom meeting for all ELVES!   (link to be provided in Discord or emailed) (Elves:  Please do NOT  fulfill wishes and post the results on the G2G page until after the Kickoff!)

* The final reveal will be 10 a.m. EST on Saturday January 7th on the first Saturday weekly LiveCast of the New Year with Betsy, Greg, Mags and Sarah! 

* Real-time communication will be in Discord - you will be invited to the #secret-santa channel once you've signed up (this may take up to 24 hours - please be patient)

* There is a Free Space page where wishes will be entered, and elves can indicate the wishes they are working on (details in the kickoff Zoom meeting)

Here is the template for the elves to put a sticker on their profile  {{Secret Santa|2022}}

Which gives you this: Secret Santa Sticker

Please click ANSWER to this G2G post to volunteer to be an Elf today!

closed with the note: Registration deadline has passed for Wishes and Elves for 2022.

There should be an option for those who cannot access zoom, or discord.
Hi Melanie, I’m going to record the Zoom meeting for the kickoff event, so if you can’t join then, you can watch the recording afterwards.  If it’s not possible for you to join Discord, you could still be an Elf and fulfill wishes. You’ll miss out on the real time collaborating but can still email the leaders and other elves for help if needed.  If you want to join, we’ll be happy to have you!

I would like to be an elf. Do I get a bow and arrow?
by Chris Ferraiolo G2G6 Pilot (766k points)
Welcome Elf Chris! (sorry - no weapons distributed with this honour...)
Fine. I'll just rely on my teleportation abilities. Hope you don't mind the smell of sulfur and brimstone. =)

Hi, Chris 

Isn't that Cupid?  Maybe we should have a hearts swap around Valentine's Day, and you can be the head Cupid angel with a bow & arrow!  laughwink
