Okay, I'll take a guess. I've been thinking it for a while now, call it a gut feeling, but then I went down a completely different rabbit hole on Wednesday. But I'm back to my original conclusion...

@Damer & @neilarey are you my Santa? :cute:

Some random (or not) observations:

1. The location of the Great Getaway Gala is not named in the writing prompt for this year's Gift Exchange. Yet some of the gifts give a name to the location.
2. Music features prominently in some of the gifts this year. Who has written about music recently in their check-in threads?
3. One of the Santas does not have a Check-In thread. But you have seen enough of their writing elsewhere to suss them out. Which gift reads the most like a DAREBEE RPG?
4. One of the Santas has been sharing pieces of an adventure story in their check-in thread recently. Which gift reads the most like a similarly-styled adventure?
5. Who has mentioned an activity recently that they do not do IRL? Which gift features that activity?


AM I MY OWN SANTA?!

Yes, yes we are! :morelove:
:shine:Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! I love it!! And I especially love that you gave the kitties powers. I suspected from fairly early on, as I have seen the videos with Damer using a bokken and nobody else used one when doing my workout. And the writing was very comfortable and reminded me so much of the RPGs. But I wasn't sure so I waited to guess. :lovelots: Thank you for the amazing adventure!

In reading through the threads again (and the post with beautiful pictures here) I realized someone joined me in the Macarena.... @heeropotter have I spotted you as my Santa?
Dancing to that tune proved to be beneficial. I chose it deliberately to mask my identity. I apologize for disappointing you, but I must reveal that…














































































































































I am not your secret Santa. :support:

I am serious. You may be the mother of dragons, but you are not Daenerys, a royalty. ;)
I only say "Mother of Dragons" because "Mother of two germ factories who destroy the house, my sinuses, and my sanity" doesn't exist :chuckle:

All right let's try this again.

@Anek, would you happen to be my Secret Santa?

It is Monday and the open guessing has begun! It is time to start uniting Bees with their Santa Bees. :hheart: I only have six deductions loaded up right now, but I'll take it easy in case anyone is still hoping to find their Bee on their own.

I do have one guess that I want to get out there. The Hallowed Honey Heartland is mentioned in two stories. We have already guessed one of them correctly, so it stands to reason that @Laura Rainbow Dragon is @Damer 's Santa Bee as well.

I was guessing that from the start, merely by the fact that Damer's included basically everyone else, with things from their stories (Munchie, Biggie, and I were dancing around a giant flower for instance.) :chuckle:

I loved how we were all included in his story. It is quite awesome. At first, I thought that maybe LRD had just made the location names match in the pre posting editing. But then she said that there was one Bee that wrote two and it just made sense. I've had her pegged for Damer's and NancyTree's since.

Correct!

Yep. I wrote Damer's story after I'd already seen everyone else's. So I pulled some things from the other stories, as well as from people's personal check-in threads for that story. But the Hallowed Honey Heartland bit was mine. Which is why I left that as a clue.

P.S.
Sorry I didn't leave a clue and participate in your discussions about who got who a gift for whom.
It's okay! We are glad that you were here to make such a cute gift and it added an element of difficulty to figuring everyone out. I kept coming back to who loves burpees as much as Sólveig?

@Syrius you're right in everything then. Once again, the Hive's Private Eye.

@heeropotter Glad your adventure went well, judging by the pictures!

Yeah, I gave her a gift!
@Sólveig I hope you enjoyed my gift.

Definitely loved it!, and loved the story I hope it wasn't too brutal on you dragging 33 Burpees per set! Thanks!

NancyTree had some excellent deductions as well. I hadn't spotted that graoumia gifted Maegaranthalas! Happy to help all of you find your Santa Bees! I look forward to doing this again next year! :lovelots:
