Santa's Sleigh

**Santa's Sleigh** is a Christmas Event, held annually on Horizon Roleplay. It begins on December and generally ends the following month, next year.

The basis of the event is that Santa has crash landed on top of Mount Chiliad and needs the player's assistance to deliver the presents back to the Christmas tree in Pershing Square in exchange for a raffle ticket.

The top ten players who manage to deliver the most presents, receive a special Santa's Helper forum badge (formerly a forum user title, before 2017).

## Event

Santa's Sleigh has crashed on the top of Chilliad and he needs your help delivering the presents to the citizens of Los Santos! Head up to Chilliad and pick up some presents, each time you deliver the present to the specified location, you'll receive a ticket (AKA being in Santas Good Books) which can be used to enter a raffle where you can win some great prizes listed below! You can do this multiple times so the more presents you deliver, the higher chance you have to win! The person with the most deliveries will win the special prize! The other prize winners will be selected randomly at the raffle drawing.
