It's that time of the year again! Against all odds, we've managed to start this event on time.

Also before we get to the event details, quick shoutout to our Discord server. It's a fantastic place to chat with members of the community! Why not come join us in the Christmas event Channel once you have signed up!

What are we doing?

---

This event will operate the same way it did last year.

To participate, simply sign-up to the event. Sign-ups will be open for about 12 days from December 1st until December 12th!

We will require some info from yourselves: your preferred classes, items, and the like.

The mod team will then work as quickly as possible (about 3 - 5 days) to go through all the responses, pair everyone up with a giftee, and assign you a gifter!

You will then be sent the Reddit & Steam username of your giftee, along with their trade partner URL, so you will be able to deliver the gift(s) of your choice to them, and maybe add them for a chat!

You can head here to find your own trade URL: http://steamcommunity.com/my/tradeoffers/privacy

The minimum gift value requirement in this event is 1 craft hat or 1.66 ref. Do not simply give currency as a gift. Try to personalise your gift. Most people who take part in this event want some thought and effort put into what they’re given. You can include currency in your gift, just please do not make it the only thing you give. If you only give currency, you will be barred from future events on this subreddit.

How do I sign up?

When will the gifting be?

---

Once we have collected all of the responses, the mod team will work quickly (about 3 - 5 days) to sort out responses and assign gifters!

Your giftee, and any information required, will be sent to you via Reddit PM**.

Once you have gifted to them, MESSAGE MODMAIL with proof (an uploaded screenshot) that the trade has been completed and accepted. Screenshots can be attached as a link using services like imgur.

**Failure to do this will result in an appealable ban from the subreddit .**

Send your proof to MODMAIL - https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FRandomActsOfTf2

We advise you to get your gift and send it to your giftee by **no later than December 25th**.

Anything else I should look out for?

---

Christmas is always a busy time of year for us all IRL, so please bear with us over the Christmas period.

As with every event, there will be some issues. If you will not be available for the gifting, please indicate this on the signup form. We have tried to simplify this by giving you a trade URL.

If you are still waiting after the event has ended, please contact modmail- https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FRandomActsOfTf2

In the case of the latter, we've got some items prepared as a backup. You can also volunteer to help out by being a second gifter. This would mean you may be asked to help out with giving gifts to people whose gifters bailed out on them.

---
