HolidayHam

That’s good enough for me! Here you go!!

Oh, by the way, my elves have been kind enough to choose the raffle prize-picking order. Would anyone like to see the videos?

I believe the word you’re looking for is merde

No luck, ADAMANTIUM. I may just back up into the shadows and let things proceed organically on their own.

No, I haven't done the gift exchange in 3 years. @HollyJollyOne was the last bigwig running that show. I did the raffle only. Now, looking to step back from that.

Hey guys and gals! I started running the Holiday Gift Exchange and the Holiday Raffle 8 years ago. Many of you know, I had stepped back from doing the Gift Exchange part of it a few years ago (thank you @GiftGuardian_nyc and @HollyJollyOne) In my first couple of years, I had some help from @Ze-Holiday-migration and his elves. Eventually they retired and I discovered a couple of other elves to take over picking the names for the draw. Now, I might be able to persuade these little elves to do the draw again, but HolidayHam is getting old and doesn't want to run the raffle and the prize picking anymore. Any volunteers? I can offer some assistance to get you started, if needed. (FYI: The gift exchange typically begins in November, so people receive their gifts before Hanukah/Christmas and the raffle typically starts on Boxing Day) Thanks in advance! -HH

Holy cow, great gifts!!

The thanks should go to HollyJollyOne. He did so much for me this year and made this whole process very easy. Thank you, sir!

This concludes the 2018 Holiday Raffle. Thanks everyone! If you donated and saw someone claim your prize, send them a PM and get their shipping details. Alternatively, if you claimed a prize, feel free to contact the guy/gal who donated it and then provide them with your shipping details. This part is now for you to sort out on your own. Happy New Year! HH
