It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

Christmas? 

Ok, no, no it's not really. (BUT HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT DOGGY SWEATSHIRT/DOG COMBO? AND THEIR HAIR!)

STILL, We have many fine holidays yet to celebrate this autumn before Christmas rolls around, but a little advance planning never hurt.
So, I want to know if you guys are interested in participating in a


 

The way I understand it works from other comms (since I'm not above copying from them!) is that either here in a comment thread or in a separate comm, we have signups for involvement where we list what we're able to give (if you're great at icons, but can't vid to save your life, if you can beta read/edit, but don't write fic, etc.)  and then we post Christmas wishlists (Maybe they pertain strictly to pilots, maybe just to bsg, maybe to any fandom) of things we'd like: icons, vids, fics, picspams, graphics, fanmixes, poems, songs, etc. Once all the wishlists are in/posted, the mods will assign secret santas, and you have the month of December to create your goodies. Posting happens from Dec 24 through Jan 5. 

That's one option. Another might be to run signups now and assign the matches soonish, then have people post their goodies all through the month of December, maybe small gifts, like an icon or a drabble, leading up to a larger  big gift, like a sizeable fic or a whole vid or a bunch of graphics at once that Christmas/Post-Christmas week.

What do you think? Should we do it? Here or in a separate comm? I'm not going to do a poll since it would only have the one "are you in" question, but please respond in the comments if you would be interested and also if you have suggestions for how the exchange should be run/timeline, etc.  OH and if anyone would like to mod (or co-mod with me) that's cool too! :)

I don't like to think about Christmas this soon, it's not even Halloween yet! Call it a pet peeve.

I hear you, but, well, everyone has a lot of constraints on their time leading up to the holidays, so planning for these things sooner instead of later seems a good idea. (There's Yuletide and Festivids already hosting signups now too.)

I understand. It might sound crazy but I like the crazy bustle of the holidays then start planning for it in October.

Can't get into the spirit of it if I do it so early. I know I'm in the minority, but hey that's me. :)
