I assumed that they expected to have the plot over with by Advent time... actually, probably by Games Master Challenge time (several Faerie games, like Faerie Bubbles and Faerie Cloud Racers, were listed as qualifying games). It's stretched on for a long time. Maybe the art's taking longer than they expected, or something.

I thought it was cute! Basically, when a person has been naughty all year they get a lump of coal instead of a present - but since it's a Magma pet, when he opened his box to find a lump of coal, he was quite happy :)

Really liked the animation today, especially the irony of the coal. I can't shake off the uncomfortable feeling that Magma pets + wrapping paper = inevitable fiery accident.

As a knitter, I like the basket of yarn. However, am amused that the Xweetok in the video seems to be knitting without using any actual yarn. :-)

It turned out my computer's sound was off |D Then when I went to rewatch yesterday's animation, I forgot to turn it on again. Smart, self. XD

Today's prizes:
Spoiler: open/close
You find 992 Neopoints!!!

You find a Cup of Ghostly Borovan!!!
Image

You also find a Holiday Ghost Marshmallow Garland!!!
Image

Can.. can we make this a candidate for 'worst animation ever'? The art's been a little off in general this year (imo), but this was just.. terrifying o.o.

I'm glad to see Borovan Day is still around, though :B The animation itself was okay, too, besides the art owo;.

The garland is nifty! It's very cute, though I guess limited applications.

I think they might be Habitarium in-game items.

Did you guys notice anything interesting about the Larnikin?

Like, for example, that it's a Pinchit?

Ha. It'd been renamed correctly by the time I collected a moment ago.

Stocking is just the cutest thing!

Lol, I didn't notice that ^^; I only really focused on the stocking and habitarium stuff tbh, and I just had a mental image of a Larnikin plushie, haha. I FAIL BASICALLY.

Man today's animation was so weird :o Not just the art quality and stuff (which was pretty bad tbh :x At least in my opinion) but the whole thing just seemed so random, haha. FALLING PRESENTS? OKAY THEN.

Also that Koi was creepy. -shiver-
