I sure hope that you're having a good Easter holiday weekend so far. Today is Good Friday. Businesses, schools/colleges are closed on that day ahead of Easter Sunday! :D

I searched for "Summer Secret Santa" on deviantART and here is what I found. Summer Secret Santa dates back to about a decade ago an here's what I found.

Like Secret Santa being focused originally on Christmas related events, the Summer version is the opposite where it's being held in the middle part of the year. As the :iconsecret-santa-network: is focusing on bi-annual events this year, it's where members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift. People feel like they're celebrating Christmas in June/July! :XD:

Unfortunately, here's the problem with Summer-related events as opposed to Christmas-related events:

:bulletred: Most people are finishing up on school/college for the year (including finals/exams) and they almost have no time to do drawing nor have the time to participating in a Summer event, yet we are going into the months of April and May.

:bulletred: Others will most likely be on vacation during the Summer months (June-August period) and will most likely have no time to do a gift drawing at all.

:bulletred: The problem is that unlike Winter, most people will end up having to deal with the Summer heat wave to a point where they don't feel like drawing anything.

It's going to be very difficult to get new and existing members to participate in the Summer Secret Santa event that I'm currently holding right now. If I'm lucky and with the help of contributors and members like you, I'll be glad to get at least 60+ entries by the time the Summer Secret Santa event closes on Sunday, 29th of May. But between now and then, it's gonna take a lot of time and hard work.

Thoughts about this journal anyone?

Don't be discourage yet. I say let's keep on spreading the event. The more people know, the more likely that you'll find people who are interested and willing to draw even in the heat of summer. :D
