Welcome to the 2017 HuntandJump Secret Santa!

"Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone" - Charles M. Schulz

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 now and December 2nd.

Same process as last year for sending entries. Send your entry in as an in game Private Message via the HJ forum to your game's Santa:
HJ1 entries for UNDER 100K go to- MaddyHall (ID 223523)
HJ1 entries for OVER 100K go to- Master StablesMS (ID 160524)

On or before December 10th 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 HJ1 is going to be @SandyCreekAcres (ID 137592) - 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 CJ!

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.
Members are more than welcome to Join both the under 100k and over 100k groups if they wish to do so but you will need to fill out 2 forms and send them to the organizer of each group
-Please keep in mind that some genes have restrictions on sharing!

************************************************************************************
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.
