Our count is 793 people. This is, I think, a great response, and I want to thank everybody who put down their name!
Here’s how it works. Emails are now being sent out to all participants and you should have received an email by Friday 27th November. You will receive one name - the idea is to send something to them. My advise is to keep it simple - a letter, a painting, a drawing - something small - but really, the sky is the limit. You’ll get these details sent to the email you submitted.
When you have received your gift, email tumblr.kris.kringle@gmail.com with confirmation that you’ve received your gift, and if you like, you can include a photo (or a link to a photo) and I will post/reblog it onto this blog.
Keep an eye on Tumblr Secret Santa - here, you will be able to send in small messages to people, as well as see what other people receive in the post.
If you don’t receive anything by the end of the first week of January let me know and I’ll see what’s up.
I wish you all a safe and merry Christmas!
So exciting!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the beginning of his career, poet Linh Dinh
loved to stay up late and write, sometimes riding a creative surge till
dawn. The power of the darkness unleashed a stark fertility. He was free
to think thoughts that were harder to invoke during the bright hours
when hordes of wide-awake people were pouring their chattering thoughts
out into the soup. Dinh’s habits changed as he aged, though, in part
because he got married and chose to keep more regular hours. But his
early imprint has stayed alive inside him. “Now I can write at any time of
the day,” he says, “because I always carry the night inside of me.” In
accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, I’m making that your
prescription for the coming week: Carry the night inside you during the
day.
