EXCERPT. Our plans to revive our Secret Santa meet this year hit the unstoppable COVID-19 wave. So we can only use today’s Throwback Thursday to reminisce on a meeting of Secret Santas many moons back in the early days of Boardgamecafe.net. #blastfromthepast

A casual post in Boardgame To Go (Facebook) in October prompted us to plan for a Secret Santa event this year even tho we were very much still in CMCO then. Two months later and we are still in CMCO now. Hah! So we decided to call this off (for now) but we still want to “celebrate” so hopefully we can get something going in Jan or Feb.

So no meet. No dinner. No gift exchange. What do we do ler?

Well, reminisce on old times sake lor…. So here’s a Throwback to 2011 when Boardgamecafe.net hosted our very first – and also Malaysia’s very first – Boardgame Secret Santa dinner-plus-gift-exchange held at the fabulous Mage Cafe (Damansara Jaya).

All the memories of our first Secret Santa, on a throwback Thursday… enjoy the pics!

As we count down towards the end of this eventful 2020…

Hopefully we’ll all be able to meet more often, with more people . And the games, meals and laughter will all follow. For now, stay safe everyone and keep to the SOP as we learn to celebrate a New Normal Christmas.

Boardgamecafe.net would like to wish all our Christian customers a Merry Christmas and to the rest a Happy Holidays. We want to thank you all once again for your business and support thru out the years.

Let us all look forward to 2021!
