Spoiler: open/close

Today's prizes are a beta furniture item, Stained Glass Story Picture with Holly Trim, and a book, D_y _f Gi_i_g: A Cliffhanger Holiday Tale (now watch that throw the Shop Wizard for a loop...)

[Usul_Princess]

Heh, good point RD. Do you think that you're supposed to fill in the blanks and then search for it?

Today's prizes are a handheld wearable, the Holiday Stocking Kite, and a food item, the Christmas Tree Rice Dumplings.


(with opposable thumb and without-- sorry, I didn't have a basic coloured model)

[ZomgethMew]

That book's going to cause trouble in the future :B The window's okay. Mm.. Is it just me, or do the Christmas Tree Dumplings look... huge? owo The kite's nothing special, but then again, I don't customize my pets :B.

Day 26's animation was one of the better ones, even if it was so simple. 27's was alright, but that Kacheek was ugly o_O; So very ugly.

[Jazzy]

These comics are getting worse again...I quite like some of the more experimental comics, like the black-and-white Meepits, but this is Hanna-Barbera gone bad (and H-B weren't good to start with).

And:
Something has happened!
You are now eligible to use the 'Winter Holiday' theme when browsing the Neopets.com website! Check out your User Preferences to change your theme.

(Exact criteria for eligibility still unknown? Partly something to do with visiting everyday, but not always...)

All I can really say is that I stressed out way more than I should about visiting the calendar everyday to get that stupid sidebar. But 15 site themes on my account makes me stupidly pleased.


Previous unposted prizes, cause I like having a record here:

Congrats, Tiel! I got that last year by going all 30 days, and I actually almost missed Christmas day by 2 hours. Overall, this was a dull year. No (expensive) pre-painted petpets, no PPPB's, bah!

[Madge]

Did they even give us a new petpet? I don't think they did?

[Faun]

i didnt even get the sidebar.

[Usul_Princess]

Madge. Sadly, no. Normally the "big" gift is on Christmas Day, and we got a train book & toy.
Anyone else have any luck with getting the theme this year? I got mine last year, and used it all through December.

[Iggy]

I actually think it was a big year for the calendar, as we had had several books and these are pretty well-liked. Ditto with wearables.

We didn't get much days where both items were duds.

[Jazzy]

I went every day and didn't get the theme (last year too), so it's not as straightforward as that.

[ZomgethMew]

I got the theme, too I love getting new themes, even if I don't use them much. Today's items were alright (but I was hoping for something bigger, too :/), and the last few days' items are alright, too; just.. nothing I'll use |D But yeah, it was a pretty good year overall. I just hope next year, they go back to the animations.

[Usul_Princess]

I went every day and didn't get the theme (last year too), so it's not as straightforward as that.

Oh, I know. It just worked for me in 2008, and I have no idea what I did differently compared to other people who collected everyday. I'm very inconsistant with going daily every year, even though once upon a time I did, and didn't get the sidebar that year.

[Rah]

This was the first year I actually managed to visit the calendar every day, and I got the sidebar! Way happy. Very nearly missed the last day as I was in a house with no internet or computers - thank goodness for iphones!
