TBT's Season of Giving 2020: Closing Ceremony

[Chris]

TBT’s Season of Giving 2020 has come to an end. Thank you to each of the 480 users who participated in our winter holiday event between December 14th – 25th 2020. We hope this brought you some joy through the year’s longest nights. As previously announced, your generous gift giving and donations raised a combined $788.25 for five great causes. See this thread for the full breakdown of how that money was raised and who it is going to help.

Currency, Prize, and Shop Information​

It is that time of year where people start taking down their holiday decorations and in the same vein it is time for us to say goodbye to the remainders of our holiday event. Jingle's Jolly Items and the snowflake currency are being removed today. Holiday backdrops, Christmas Lights collectibles, and coloured usernames earned through the Top Gift Givers Leaderboard will stick around a little longer, with all of these scheduled to depart on January 14th 2021. However, not everything is leaving so soon - our snowy forum skin is here to stay for the winter!

Finally, the Special Snowflake, Snowglobe, and Lump of Coal collectibles will be distributed later today. Now, let’s see who made Santa’s Nice List!

Please note that due to a number of duplicate winners we decided to award a larger number of staff favourites this time around to ensure plenty of users had the chance to walk away with a Special Snowflake collectible!
