Tis the Season to help your fellow MM'er!
It's the mossssssst wonderful time of the yeaaaaaar! Unless you're stressing about how you're going to pay the bills and make sure your kids have something under the tree in the same month. We're here to help. MM is a tight knit community and each year I have set up a thread like this to make sure the kids of struggling MM'ers have a jolly holiday season. Here's how it works: You can post offering to be a Super Santa here and get assigned a person who could use a little holiday magic. People who could use a Super Santa should post here too! If you'd like, you can message me privately and I will keep your person details secret. Please provide the gender and age of your child/ children or a specific item that is on their wishlist. Any information that would help them get something to make their day! It's that simple. Good people doing Good things for other Good people  Let's make Christmas awesome for a few of Mayhem's kids this year. I have run this thread on my own for several years, but this year I will have the awesome help of well respected MM member and Gatekeeper, George Lue. He's an exciting addition and will help make this a smooth and easy process for everyone! Let's get this party started!  Dec 12 12 07:30 pm Link I'm helping out Nemi this year, so do not be alarmed if I contact you! I'm Nemi's Elf. Smiling's my favorite. Make with the Merry, people! Dec 12 12 07:33 pm Link Nemi and George are superawesomes. Fact. Dec 13 12 02:10 pm Link Brian Diaz wrote:
Dec 13 12 02:21 pm Link You didn't name a limit, because I know a child who needs a PS3. Let's call him "Damon." Dec 13 12 03:07 pm Link ps, given an appropriate limit, I can be a santa. Dec 13 12 03:08 pm Link does this have to have to be just for kids? what about for people who are just having trouble in general and could use a little holiday help?

I'm not sure I am willing to open it up to adults, because it changes the system I have in place. Dec 13 12 03:49 pm Link Damon Banner wrote: I do not give "limits". Dec 13 12 03:53 pm Link

Dec 14 12 05:15 pm Link I like this thread please add me to your list of donors and to Becks ( above me ) thank you for reminding me to make my annual Salvation Army donation which i did this past Wednesday Dec 14 12 07:12 pm Link Attempting to keep this visible so that people who'd like to participate can see it. Dec 14 12 09:19 pm Link Is this thing legit? I have a thread that addresses that question: https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=871247 [spoiler alert: yes. it is legit] Dec 15 12 10:17 am Link NothingIsRealButTheGirl wrote: haha, I never thought you'd make a whole thread about it, but the gesture and your repeated generosity is most definitely appreciated Dec 15 12 11:09 am Link I sent you a couple messages on FB. I know of a couple people nominating others or looking to help other families. Dec 15 12 01:57 pm Link Angel Tara wrote: My FB post, and you copying it has brought me to quite a full MM inbox today! Dec 16 12 02:57 am Link Just 9 more days until Christmas!  Santa's Coming! Dec 16 12 07:06 pm Link I made a lot of pairs today, and some things are already shipped and on their way!  Those people who are thinking about this or have already messaged me to say " I'm in" but haven't gotten back to me with details... I MUST get info as fast as humanly possible so I can assign you to someone as a Santa. Obviously I cannot assign someone who has $20 to a family of 4 nor can I assign someone with a 100+ to give, to one person who is not in the most dire scenario. It just would not be fair. So as much as "I'm in" is awesome, and I'm glad to have you on board, please please give me as much info as you can, and try to reply to my messages as quick as you can. When you don't answer, this is me, waiting: Like my favorite elf said, we have only 9 days to make magic happen. It's crunch time!  Thanks to everyone who is at any step of this process! Dec 16 12 07:55 pm Link I have paired an AMAZING number of members together this year!! However I could use a few more donors. I have one family that just stepped forward ( I know it's late in the game) they have 3 children, all still at Santa believing age. Normally I like to keep one donor to a family, but it's late in the game, if you guys can pull together and each take a child, I will do that too. It's complicated to organize on my end, but will be worth it on the kid's end! I could also use a few "fall back" donors, just in case one of my "Santa's" has a reindeer who gets them lost! (Damn reindeer, it's 2012, get a GPS!) Anyone who can, please come forward ASAP, time is short. Thanks. Much lovvvvvvvvve - Your tiny elf- Dec 18 12 04:44 am Link OKAY SUPER SANTA'S! The time for long messages back and forth has passed. If you need me. CALL. Please don't quote my number I'm going to remove it after this is finished. If I don't pick up, leave a message and I WILL get back to you and work it out. Dec 18 12 01:38 pm Link BUMP on Nemi's behalf as she has a couple of emergency Santaless families in need of some Christmas patrons. PLEASE CALL HER if you can help. Dec 18 12 04:08 pm Link I have a daughter Phoebe who turns 3 this coming march, I have been ill with the flu the last couple of weeks so she has had to miss out on a lot of the Christmas parties I had originally arranged, instead she has been helping looking after me the best she can as it is just the two of us! She is a lovely little girl and she wants to do modelling like mummy! Fingers crossed! Merry christmas to everyone and good luck to all Even if my daughter is not picked I would still love to contribute to the cause Georgia x Dec 20 12 01:14 am Link bump Dec 20 12 07:20 am Link AlexandraGeorgia wrote: I send you a PM explaining further, but this thread is not a contest. The member of MM who can, open their hearts and wallets to become a "Super Santa" for the children of MM member who have less or are falling on hard times. Dec 21 12 12:03 pm Link bump!!
