Time for a little online Christmas cheer. Welcome to AFI's second annual Secret Santa gift exchange!
Secret Santa is a Western Christmas tradition in which members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift.

What we're going to do:
- We'll be drawing names from an online generator that will keep everyone anonymous
- Everyone must be a member of AFI
- You will sign up and make your wish list
- In return you'll receive the name of the person for whom you will be the Secret Santa
- Participants will post wish lists on the site, but also you can sleuth through their page on AFI to learn more about them to choose the perfect gift
- At the close of the registration you'll wrap the gift and sent it to your partner
- When you receive your gift you are encouraged to take a photo of it and post it here on the site.
We're limiting the number of participants to 50 and not putting a price limit on the gift, but knowing the creativity of this community I'm betting there will be lots of D-I-Y going on and art related gifts.
Plus, there will be prizes for the participants! Bringing even more Christmas cheer.
Sign up to participate begins on November 20 and closes on December 8. Gifts should be sent by December 20.
If you wish to participate add your name in the comments below or send it to me connie@artfaircalendar.com
and we'll add it to the list. Stay tuned for the details.
