#TelegramSecretSanta2025 🎉
Presenting the first ever Telegram Creators Secret Santa event.🥳
In this event, me and 30 other incredibly amazing telegram creators got together and celebrated Christmas by playing Secret Santa.
Secret Santa is basically when you are randomly assigned a person you prepare a gift for. Then you never reveal your identity or your gift up until the day of celebration. And for yes last night was the celebration.✨
It was one of the most wholesome and the sweetest events I've been a part of. I had an absolute blast. I loved everyone there, our vibe was so nice. The days we spent preparing gifts, getting to know eachother, and last night when we gave eachother the gifts was so memorable.🥲
I'm honored and I'm so happy that I got to be a part of this, and I'm so happy that these wonderful creators accepted my invite for Christmas. Thank you for making my week so beautiful.🥰

So I was the Secret Santa of @GugutLogs . 🤓
Freab, you've been such a wholesome and caring friend and a wonderful teammate in @RuthfulHearts. You've been such a blessing to us. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to lead our dev team there. ❤️
In all of our conversations you've been afraid to build ur portfolio and to start ur business as well. So I took the time to kick started it. 🚀
www.freab.fun is now urs. And I built u a 3D website. I'm not that great at it but I hope this gets u started. ✨
The code is well documented, and broken apart well so u can adjust and change just the way u like it. And it's fully responsive. So you can just focus on building amazing projects now.🌷
I hope this puts a smile on ur face. Merry Christmas Freab, I'm so happy to know you and working with you is my honor.🥰
Merry Christmas Egziabher Abrok Yihun! 🎄🎁

This's my first ever 3D website and it was such a ride. It honestly got me so interested and I might even do this more.🤌
As usual the design is minimal and modern, and fully responsive. The code is documented well and Freab can mix and match different components and sections just as he likes.🥰

My Secret Santa was @Found_This and I was drowning in tons of amazing gifts. 🎁
First and foremost bro took the extra mile to deliver it through my sister, and even got her, her fav chocolate as bribe lol. THEN that in on itself was sweet enough but bro went out and got me THREE epic and really high quality Theology study books. WHICH'S SOMETHING I LOVE!!! And I've really been needing!😍
And that's not enough, bro got one of my most favorite verses printed in HUGE and got it for me, now it's hanging in my room.😇
But wait there's more. Bro got me one of my most favorite indie game on steam, Stardew Valley. Not only is the game my personal fav, it's literally the #1 game on steam (under $15) and I've always wanted to own that game. It's my first Steam gift and I'm still so happy.🥰
Btw even if Mike hadn't got me anything he's been the most contributer in all of my open source projects, and even one of the most active mods in the community starting wayyy back in the early days. He's been sweet this entire time. So I'm honestly happy he's my Secret Santa.🌷
THANK YOU SO MUCH, EGZIABHER YAKBRLGN. HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎉

These are everyone who took part. The diagram (HQ) also shows who gave who gifts and you'll see some lovely glitches like two people getting two gifts, one person giving two gifts and two people giving eachother gifts. 🥰
This time @Yohannes_posts wrote a simple script to randomize and assign everyone their Secret Santa. It's open source so here's the link
• https://gist.github.com/YohannesTz/0e41c67cde8c6ae482261a21e52c1b41
All the chaos that unfolded and all the stressful parts were as fun. I had a blast.🥰

So my criteria and method for choosing this season's Secret Santas was pretty straightforward.
1. Engages and supports the community. It can be by sharing links, by educating, by talking to members, building something in Collab and more.
2. Selam yemifetr with eachother here (who's presence isn't annoying) Anyone who's fighting with the other creators, is rude, disrespectful, benefit oriented and more were not invited.
3. Active and not anonymous, atleast among eachother and the community. It can be during in person or online events, or on socials. And who regularly posts.
4. Referrals. I chose only 2 people to kick start the link and also to take it out of my control. Those 2 recommended more and so forth. So everyone in the Secret Santa was referred to by one other creator.
5. This one is an exceptional rule cause this's the very first Secret Santa. I wanted people who've been creators for long and who've been very connected with eachother. And people who actually formed the community basis instead of new creators.
That being said. I can't wait to add more people to the next one. There's no reason you won't join if you're active, engaging, supportive and if you're connected to me and all these other creators. ❤️
Merry Christmas Again! ✝️

Using TelegramToPDF, I exported the Secret Santa chat into PDF
Then gave it to NotebookLM to generate a simple podcast and it didn't miss. It's so hilarious and very accurate. We're all enjoying listening to it. Hope you like it :)

This research paper is @Austererie's gift to @Neural_Netss and I thought it was nerdy and sweet. Also this's the second time I was included in a research paper.
I live with nerds I tell ya! And I love it! ❤️

The chill guy was a gift from @Innovate_AASTU to @The_Blogrammer and I didn't even know crocheting could be this good! You can order @AdeysCrochet for yourself, she makes epic ones!
Then there's the handmade beanie UntetheredThoughts made @Mi_ra_ch that matches his color and brand. Applauding for the crocheting hobbyists out there!

@Mr_Naty made one of the most exciting apps in Flutter for @SelfMadeCoder. Bro basically made a scavenger hunt app, with location tracking, setup a hotel for it and had Yabsira play tons of games to get to his gift. This's one of the most well presented gifts!
