Well, we are (kind of) wrapping up our Secret Santa this year (really, it won't be wrapped up until February most likely) and I like to take a look back and figure out what worked and what we can improve on. There is a lot of stuff we can and will improve on (more on this in the weeks to come) but I'd like to acknowledge the volunteers that make help make this work. Everyone take a moment and give a virtual round of applause to these fine people:

(in alphabetical order):

BaconBiscuits

BaconBiscuits is one of our fearless mods. She happens to be on a different continent that the rest of us which has its benefits and disadvantages. She helps out when all of us are probably asleep but also has to go at it alone, which is a scary thing sometimes! She is proactive, great at communicating in our subreddit and also helps to give out awards on redditgifts!

Cheers BaconBiscuits, we love what you do!

someguyfromcanada

SOMEGUYFROMCANADA sends me funny emails late at night and volunteers in so many ways it's ridiculous. He is constantly helping out community members and making sure things are running smoothly. He also goes through every freaking gift in the gallery giving awards (seriously, it is insane). In addition to this I need to call out a role he took this year that is probably unknown but now we need to scream it from the rooftops:

SOMEGUYFROMCANADA singlehandedly made the whole Guinness world record thing happen. He made it his personal project before we actually got paid to do redditgifts. He got tweet campaigns together, sent emails to them, basically he harassed them until they could no longer ignore us. Without him, we wouldn't be doing this world record thing. After we get the record, he will be getting a framed world record plaque!

*Everyone raise your glass to an A+ community and team member! *

weffey

Weffey is one of those rare people that reminds you that you aren't doing enough by the sheer amount of stuff she is able to get done in a day. Weffey (like the others mentioned here) is a long time participant and reddit member. She is in constant contact with me about stuff going on here. I get IMs from her at all times of the day and she is constantly keeping me on my toes. Weffey is probably the most prominent award giver and is the person managing the whole awards thing. Not to mention, she probably reads every single post and comment in our subreddit here (seriously).

Weffey, you are the oil that makes this machine run!

Everyone join me -- HIP HIP, HOORAY!
