Event Recap MMC Exchanges Q&A

[Elf Ernest]

If I join the ornament exchange, do I have to buy an ornament....or could I make one?

 

[DecemberisComing]

Hello

 

[Jeff Westover]

Good question.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Hi @DecemberisComing ! Welcome!

 

[Jeff Westover]

We try to keep the rules on the exchanges simple. So yes, you can make an ornament if you wish instead of buying one

 

[DecemberisComing]

I just had some general questions too. And Elf Ernest's covers one of them, are homemade items frowned upon?

 

[Elf Ernest]

You see, i know a guy...or two

 

[Jeff Westover]

Homemade items are just fine

 

[Jeff Westover]

In fact, I think it is a nice touch!

 

[Jeff Westover]

What else is on your mind?

 

[DecemberisComing]

The topic of the Exchange had come up in another chat I was in and I got the impression that a lot of information about partners is exchanged once they are selected. I had wondered about a price limit but I understand that isn't a huge concern.

 

[Jeff Westover]

We haven't really specified things to that level

 

[DecemberisComing]

That it is a fun experience and people enjoy the spirit of giving. I have been in other Secret Santa type activities and it can be less than fun, but I believe that this one is different.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Was there a general concensus on price limits?

 

[LadyLynn]

This chat today will be quick and informal

What if someone wants it long and formal?

 

[Jeff Westover]

Is this your first year with our exchanges?

 

[DecemberisComing]

In the one I was in through my work there was, but no one really adherred to it, and it isn't so much the cost, but I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone.

 

[Jeff Westover]

I think that could be a really sensitive thing this year

 

[DecemberisComing]

I did not join either exchange last year.

 

[Jeff Westover]

We have, for now, just the card and the ornament exchanges
