What are you giving your members for Christmas (or the winter holiday of your choice)

Even though there's still time before Thanksgiving I've gotten started on Christmas preparations on my forum... I figure December will be really busy, so best to start now. Last year I made a Christmas template and new custom smileys, this year I'm adding LivingAvatars with some custom artwork. Plus I'm coordinating the gift/card swap, and the packages are already starting to pile up. (My people are REALLY into it.) What's going on on your forum this year?

I think that we'll be doing a gift exchange next year. Or, we might do a 'meet' in December of next year.

For this year, I wanted to do something special and I've been meaning to post here about that. Does anyone know if there are some 'greeting card' mods where I can just make my own and send it to my folks without submitting their e-mail addresses in some hallmark or similar site?

Something like this is a start...but, I'd like something personal. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...light=greeting

I'll just give out another ebook with full resale rights to the member's. It's a gift they can profit or learn off of.

I've never really did a xmas thing on my forum. Won't get to many people to agree anyway's. But i'll try to give the members another surprise or i may run a contest all of dec. giving a few people free lifetime accounts on a site i just launched.

Well, i'm going to open my new forum on the 1st of December... but i'll probably give my members a nice skin for the Christmas and probably some season avatars to choose from

Nothing fancy yet but, should do the trick :P

last year i held a charity raffle. my sponsors all put in prizes altogether totalling £1500, the top prize was a laptop. we made the equivelant of the prizes, which all went to a childrens charity. im not arranging the same thing for this year. the site had 300 members last year, this year it has over 1700, so it could prove to be quite exciting! members loved it last year.
