Just in case you didn't see it, @Template88 drew everyone's character an icon.

What I learned

I learned a lot, lol.

Next year, the requirements for joining the Secret Santa will be a bit more strict, concise, and straight-forward. I apologize for the all the inconveniences and miscommunication. This Secret Santa was not expected to blow up as it did, and I was much under-prepared to handle it, but still somehow we managed.

This endeavor would have been much harder if it wasn't for @Template88's help. @KOLANI, @cyangorilla, @HEKILLZALOT, @BuhlBoy, @NeoD-ray, @Onosse, @Roksim, @solitonmedic, and @TamashiHoshi all reached out to me to help post the drawings, as well. We managed to stay up to 12am PST and post drawings for over an hour and a half. Sleep deprived, backs hurting, and slightly delusional, the Secret Santa Brigade pulled through to ensure everyone's drawings were delivered on time.

Minor hiccups aside, I gotta say, this year was an amazing experience and I can't wait for next year's!!

Merry Artmas, everyone.

We did it <3
