ATM Christmas Activities 2024

Hi, everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today.

We have several fun events scheduled for December. Check out what's new below. Registration is open now for the ATM Stocking. Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Elfember!

ATM STOCKING
Jolly old St. Nicholas needs your help stuffing stockings with gifts this year. Beginning December 6th and running through the 12th, you will visit other club members' blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a gift for their stocking. We used to run this event many, many years ago and I thought it would be fun to start it back up.

This is just like the trick or treating, only Christmas themed. In real life, St. Nicholas day is celebrated by stuffing stockings or shoes (depending on the country) with small treats. In the spirit of St. Nicholas, all gifts should be small. In other words, they should be available in Shop Search.

You will need to create a blog titled ATM Christmas Stocking 2024 and then comment on my blog with the link. See my blog for examples and more information.

Sign up is open now and closes on Tuesday 12/4.

FIRST EVER ATM ADVENT CALENDAR
Bluetaz2001 is hosting this event. The calendar is filled with lots of fun items. This event runs 12/1-12/24. Most tasks take only a minute or two to complete. Tasks include things like visiting Krampus, adding a toy to your collection, and visiting the POG. You win a prize for each day you enter. Enter every day to win all the prizes or just participate on the days you are available. Should be lots of fun!

ATM SECRET SANTA
Hosted by Dani, this is where your big gifts come in.
The club Secret Santa is where you register, get matched up with a name, and then you buy that person a gift. We do ask that gifts be no cheaper than 500k on shop search. You may send a more expensive gift if you wish, but please keep to Mara's gift giving rules. If it's a very expensive gift please submit a support ticket asking permission before sending it. We don't want you or the receiver to get in trouble over this for sure!

12/6-12/16 Register for ATM Secret Santa
12/19-12/20 ATM Secret Santa names sent out
12/21-12/31 ATM Send your Secret Santa gift. All gifts must be sent by 12/31.

A link to Dani's blog will be posted in club chat and also on my Elfember planning blog as soon as it's available.
