Sorry man. I hope it doesn't ruin your Xmas but like oasis said, don't out your love in a rock and roll band.
ameliabee1239000
dm your address, is love to send you something!!
QueenGT
Don't understand why people saying they don't participate anymore cus they didn't get a gift. You spread joy though...
Ombieza
Sometimes the gift is knowing you did the right thing.
lukemoist
This is why I was my own secret Santa.
KellyLD
I'd be happy to send something. The good news is if your Santa dips then you'll get a back up gifter so you still get a gift.
djangojazz
Why do MFers do SS if they are not going to do it? Fucking Flakey Fucks, ruin everything.
geoffreyfourmyle
So they receive free shit without having to spend any time, money, or effort. They're not flakey, they're worthless thieves.
SashoWindfeather
Same here. I got assigned the backup. Here's hoping
outtaleftfield
If you don’t get a backup secret Santa, let me know. I’ll make sure you get a gift, even if it’s a little late.
philipsullivan350
Been told by certain people I CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING. Completely understandable.
arifmez
I got SS bail on me 2 years in a row and then 2nd year my back up SS bailed on me lol. Haven't participated in this since.
TedTheMan
fair choice.
Coca08
Did you feel good about reaching out and trying? Why should it matter more than "I'm doing this to do something nice for someone else"? 1/
Coca08
You're actively trying to be a good human being. Feel ok with that.
DGummibuns
Because she signed up for a gift exchange, not to just be a gift giver.
oddoregano
Its perfectly fine for her to feel sad when the other person doesnt participate. Secret Santa is about gift exchanging. Don't be dismissive.
llcoolj
I promised to send a great gift to mine, then two of my friends died and ones in a coma. I wanna give him somethin but maybe next month :(
parkydiver
Not sure if you sent anything or not, but maybe still send something small and save their details to send something more when you're able?
zolan
Aw hell. I've been too chickenshit to try SS yet. Give me too much anxiety.
parkydiver
Nothing wrong with having anxiety about being a santa. I just go into it each year thinking about doing something nice for someone else :)
zolan
My anxiety is all encompassing. Not finding right gift. Having to go through the process of sending something through post. Etc etc
parkydiver
Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Australia!
parkydiver
That's fair :)

❤️?
mondomar
The secret Santa is very hot or miss. I never got a gift or a backup either.
EdelwoodHikes
Contact the Imgur people to make sure you'll get a backup. Hey @MartynMage, can you help the girl?
oddoregano
We have to wait till January before we can tag anyone as a "non-gifter"
MartynMage
OP was already assigned a backup yesterday
JessaNub
Backup gifters are given a new match between Dec 20 and Jan 10th ?
zoltarpanaflex
I didn't have any money this year, I feel bad for not participating….
parkydiver
Hey OP - if you want a friend or someone to randomly talk to, happy to chat with you some time. Feel free to reach out if you do :)
Greif
I can feel you OP. The same happened to me 4 years ago. Those kind of people can ruin the spirit of Secret Santa.
hahadix
I had a good year. I sent out my second SS ( i got an email that someone got stiffed) late last night. They will get a few amazon packages!
lEetfuk
dang
IMainReinhardt
I always sign up as a backup gifter and tell the person gifting me that I don't want anything and to send me something they find cool
IMainReinhardt
I find it fits the spirit a little better. Plus I love sharing interests with strangers. Brings us a little closer together
kylania
Don't worry, backup gifters have your back!
banoot
My back up gifter promised me awesome gifts and then I got nothing last year.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I don't want a backup gift, personally. I don't "need" anything, just did it for fun. But it's the getting fucked over that leaves a bad /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
taste in my mouth. I considered just being a backup gifter and not doing the actual SS, maybe I'll do that next year instead. /2
Coyotebd
Fingers crossed. There's not always enough backup givers
justme2759
This did last 2 years so dipped both years no backups either didn't try this year really sucked that people are like that.
cosonfused
seeing as SS is just so disappointing to lots of people, maybe we should start doing an alternative version, where people just sent cards?
cosonfused
this is as an addition, not a replacement. and since it's cards (and cheaper) they could send and assign multiple cards to each person, so >
cosonfused
the chances of getting at least one is higher.
Megameatloaf
I've wanted to do SS for over 5-6 years now but every Christmas I chicken out because I'm scared I will somehow mess up the giving part.
Megameatloaf
I have ADHD and I feel im very very unreliable. I worry I'll procrastinate picking and sending a gift soo much that I'll miss the window.
Megameatloaf
But my family doesn't celebrate christmas anymore and I'm kinda lonely these days especially on Christmas. So I totally get you buddy
FuckThemIfTheyCantTakeAJoke
Well that's one less friend you don't have.
Slapthefatcat
Luckily, my Santa did pull through, but same financially. Ended up having to borrow money from my mom for shipping costs.
Slapthefatcat
Otherwise I would offer to send something.
TinyOctopus
Check your DM, @OP.
0neSadCookie
TinyOctopus is legend, not sure if OneSadCookie can compete ? but the offer was made as well.
TinyOctopus
Luckily, in the arena of Kindness, tiny octopus finds there is no competition, there is only camaraderie.
Sertzul79
TinyOctopus! Hello! I just want to say Merry Christmas :)
TinyOctopus
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! May this holiday season find you wet and full of good food.
TransgirlJennifer
Even a card would be appreciated. I understand money is tight, just a card would brighten my day.
wowzilla1
Merry Christmas hope you’re going to get gifs and greetings
tooboredtofindanusername
Please DM for your personal x mas Card

AnUnknownAgent

RawDogRic
Merry Christmas! Fuck your gifter
elmustache
DM me your address, it will be more of a New Years card since it will get there a little late.
SmolToot
Whats you’re mailing address, friend?!
SmolToot
Your** wow
WedsBunneh
Make sure @martynmage and the Secret Santa crew know. We've got backup Santas.
MartynMage
@OP was already assigned a backup gifter yesterday
WedsBunneh
Fantastic! We shall provide Santa Cheer!
bbksu
I'd send you something!
Kargool
Dm me your address and I will send you something from Roo Land
Krayzie656
I don’t even know if I can dm and it’ll arrive hella late into the new year, but I’d like to send you a card if you can give me an address:)
BlackCats4ever
I’d love to send you a card. Just DM me!
danktomycin
I would love to send you a card! I absolutely love Xmas cards! Feel free to send me your address.
danibuzzkiller
I'd love to send you a card or a letter! Just let me know where to send it!
PancakesAreDefinitelyCakes
Do you play video games? Shoot me a message and tell me what you like to play. I'll gift you a game key :)
ladyofthegate
I didn't get a gift from my original gifter last year, eventually got my back up gift in the new year, and it was worth the wait.
emjei
DM me your address - I gotchu
89PercentSureYoureFibbing
TheCoachAdair
Is this what Mister Rogers meant by “pitcher picture”? ?
LazyLongDistanceSprinter
I feel like there’s something funny here but I don’t get it
IsolatedAsshole
They're sending op cards. Baseball cards.
DougTheLlama
I didn't get it either. I was like, "this is really cool, but not super appropriate?"
thrillhousegaming
Same thing happened to me on every online secret Santa I did, including this one
thrillhousegaming
Heck, I advertised that I'd gift 5x the amount I got the following year
thrillhousegaming
5 * 0 = 0
snldude87
I know you've got a thousand offers already, but I'll send you a card too. Just DM me and let me know.
BonusDad
How about a New Year's card? DM some deets!
UndeadGopher
Happened to me 2 years in row. Said fuck it. Don't so SS anymore.
torisenblack
Same deal, two on reddit, one here, nothing. Lost it's appeal.
Swaarley
Same here, and last time they didn't even verify they received my gift.
DGummibuns
It is discouraging for sure. It's my first year and no word from my Secret Santa.
NotTheBeees
Same. Last and only time I tried, no gift, no answer from person I sent to.
nigglemaster
Could've at least sent bees.
NotTheBeees
DGummibuns
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. That's a drag.
NotTheBeees
Yep, I won't participate again.
CorydorasAfavorplease
Happened to us too, but we got re-matched by back-uo Santas and so we always got something at least, even if it was a little late
derpygirl
I am sad I've done this for like 5 years every year but the last three have been wonderful. I got nothing yet...
NicRocks
Hit me up with your address, too!
ghostchips12345
How bout a gift of friendship from NZ !! (Its too late to send you a card )
Lamafa
This is wholesome.
OrkieBleu
That happened to me two years ago, I never got over it.
PrincessOctopus
My first ss ever messaged saying that rhey were sending it out but it was late so I marked it recieved since they communicated and I didn't1
PrincessOctopus
Want them being marked as a non gifted when they were making an effort. Never got it :D
cjredefine7
I'll send a card from the coast :)
angiepai
DM me your address OP! I’m sending out Christmas cards. They’ll show up late! But want to send you one too
grapesofwrath1120
I’ll send you one from Texas. Where to?
arumunus
If you're down, I can draw you something. Hit me up in dms?
sipeycup
Same!
ColmMeaney
DM me please - I can at least send a card
teacher745
Same!
FeChefImgur
@Scrumptiousassumptions got any left to send ?
grapesofwrath1120
You bet. It would be a pleasure, FeCheflmgur. Where to?
FeChefImgur
Not me, to OP of this post.
