I don't understand why, if getting a Yuletide gift was that important to them and warranted this kind of drama, they didn't check the sign up close time and make sure they had it right. Or use the countdown clock. Or pay attention to any of the dozen times someone on the Yuletide server mentioned "signups closing in X amount of time" over the last couple of days.

Or sign up early with tentative requests/offers and edit later, as desired.

People can care about things and still not be on the ball. It's not that complicated.
