Christmas Day Preparation

[u/0hn035]

The day we've all been waiting for is right around the corner! In preparation for Christmas Day posts, here are some tips to help everything go smoothly.

Thank you posts:

First, a reminder that a Christmas thank you post with pictures is a requirement of participating in RAoC.

• u/kanga_roos made a lovely how-to earlier this year about making a great thank you post.
  • The post should include pics (actions pics are much beloved!)
  • It should be as close to Christmas as you can manage
  • The post should tag all the Santas who were part of your Christmas
  • There should be info about the kids and the gifts
  • This is another great example of a thank you post.

Pictures:

• Imgur is the most popular way to link a picture on reddit, but you are welcome to use any image hosting service that works for you to post your pictures.
• Here is an Imgur album on using Imgur. It's Imgur Inception!
  • Note this tutorial is for the app, so you may need to download it first.

Tagging Santas:

• Tagging only works on reddit if you do it in a comment
• Comments only allow you to tag three users at a time
• To "summon your Santas" post a comment with u/Santasusername in a comment on your post.
  • For example u/0hn035 in a comment would give me a notification. Doing it in a post will not.
• Repeat for as many comments as needed to tag all your Santas.
  • Ex: if you have 9 Santas you'll need 3 comments with 3 Santas tagged per comment
• If you're not sure who sent a gift, send us a modmail!
• Don't worry too much, the mods and other users sometimes jump in to help out if tags aren't working.

Summoning Santas - woohoo, who is breaking out the Ouija Board 😆

Woooooo "calling Santas of the past and presents" (misspelling/pun intended)

(Still sleep deprived)

I am super excited to live vicariously through everyone - you all have become my Christmas family and I couldn't be prouder
