Coming Soon​

The staff will now spend the next week or so looking through all of your amazing entries from Jingle's Wondrous Workshop, Myths of Merriment (part 2), Gingerbread Monstrosities, Season's Greetings, and Secret Stocking Stuffers. The entries selected as the staff favorites will earn Special Snowflake collectibles and be featured in the event's closing ceremony thread. The closing ceremony will also announce the winners of the raffles mentioned above. We don't currently have an ETA, but we'll update you when we have an exact date. Meanwhile, don't forget to check the Advent Calendar today for a special edition of our annual Holiday Candy Cane!

thank you again staff for the new collectibles and for volunteering to donate om our behalf, it's very generous and kind of you all

 

[seliph]

[S.J.]

Awww, these are adorable! The toy car is so cute, and I especially love the gift box! There's a really nice variety, and I look forward to seeing what I can come up with using them!

I really enjoyed the Season of Giving, and the activities involved! The Season of Giving is always a nice treat, since I love the idea of exchanging gifts. It's really hard to pick a favourite task from all of the ones this season, since I genuinely enjoyed them all a lot! I especially loved looking at everyone's cookie decorating, and I look forward to going and seeing all the stockings right now!

Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays everyone!

The new collectibles are amazing!! The crystal reindeer has my whole entire heart, but I also love the gift box (an orange gift inside an orange gift...) and the red toy car!!

Nearly $850 for charity is absolutely incredible!! This is why Season of Giving will always be my favourite holiday event. Thank you so much for donating on our behalf, staff, and thank you so much to everyone who donated themselves! I hope everyone celebrating today had a beautiful, magical, and peaceful Christmas, surrounded by people and things that make you feel special and loved! Even if you didn't celebrate, or you celebrate a different holiday, I still hope you had an amazing day! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you wonderful people!

Thanks for doing this stuff for us! Are we not supposed to be able to sell back the December 25th raffle ticket? Do we just discard it?

You can just discard it if you want (otherwise it will disappear eventually). We always skip selling back on the final round since it ends right when the collectibles can no longer be purchased.

Good to know. Thanks!

 

[Mistreil]

so here is where i would like to reveal lore about the collectibles. a peek into My Decision Making Process, since i think thats always fun:

• the idea of a gift box containing another gift box seemed hysterical to me and i like opening boxes to see other boxes and commenting on it irl. no one could stop me. not that anyone tried tho
• i wanted a heart collectible so "last christmas i gave you my heart" jokes could be made.
• the reindeer was also something i made last year? or the year before! but i kept adjusting it because i wasn't happy with it until now!
• you can thank chris for the toy car idea!! he pitched it when i was struggling for ideas!
• i wanted the gingerbread men collectibles that mick made to have a house. so gingerbread house. i may also just like gingerbread houses and gingerbread men in general.

i hope you guys like them!!

in any case!! good job for all you've raised for charity, and i wish you all happy holidays!!! ive had a lot of fun, both with this event and over the past year, and hope you guys have too!!
