We do not allow requests for Christmas gifts, Hanukkah gifts, holiday festival/vacation/meal/travel assistance, etc.

r/RandomActsofChristmas is open for the 2023 season!

This is the only subreddit we recommend for folks wanting to share the holiday spirit and for folks needing to ask for help with getting it. They do AMAZING work every year, and they have the capacity to handle everything Christmas so our subreddit can focus on other more urgent situations.

Christmas/Holiday Offers

While we don't allow requests for Christmas/holiday gifts in r/Assistance, we will allow offers of gifts, meals and other holiday-related cheer—so our givers who want to give here in r/Assistance can do so.

Some examples:

• "Help me buy Christmas gifts for my family" -- not allowed
• "Want to go home to X for Christmas" -- not allowed
• "Let me order your family Christmas dinner" -- allowed
• "Will buy a Christmas gift for your child up to $20" allowed

A reminder that unless an offer is explicitly for Christmas requests, the same rules apply.

Thank you!
