TBT's Season of Giving 2022: Closing Ceremony

[Chris]

​

Happy Hogmanay! After a festive couple of weeks filled with baking, drawing, and fun giveaways, TBT's Season of Giving 2022 has come to an end. Thank you to all of the members who came together to make this cold winter holiday cheery and bright! And a big congratulations to everyone who helped us to collectively raise $893.53 for our four featured charities plus an additional charity selected by the donor. Check out this thread for a breakdown of how we reached our total and where that money is going to go.

Before we announce our winners, I'm just going to get a little bit of housekeeping out of the way.

Shop Information and Prize Distribution​

---

The Christmas Lights collectibles, holiday backdrops, and the coloured usernames awarded via the Top Gift Givers Leaderboard will be departing on January 10th 2023. If you are one of the few people who still hasn't spent their Chocolate Coins and Snowflakes, please be sure to spend them by this date otherwise they will be lost to the void forever. Unlike in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they really are gone when we send them there - they won't just show up in your friend's wallet next holiday season! I can assure you there are no other ways to spend these currencies now that our Leftover Snowflake Super Raffle has concluded.

On that note, the Special Snowflake, Yule Log, Christmas Gold Candy, and Lump of Coal collectibles will be distributed over the next few days, alongside the participation rewards from The Lost Bar event.

Without further ado, let's announce the winners of TBT's Season of Giving 2022!

Lyrical Limericks​

@Milleram​
There once was a reindeer named Jingle, Whose Christmastime job made him tingle, He mixed up a gift, Which caused quite a rift, And now two poor lovebirds are single.​

@seliph​
our presents in pink, red, green, orange, and blue with christmas lights, and festive candies too i've missed out on some snow for how would i have known toilet paper for wrap battle round two

@JellyLu​
You awake to the voice of Tom Nook. Breaking into your house like a crook. "There's no Santa, you see. All these gifts are for me." It's your gifts and your bells that he took.

@Rio_​
Bob was a merry little cat Who loved to wear a Santa hat Jingle did not find it cute Threatened "Copyright lawsuit!" And sadly put an end to that

@xara​
after autumn, when christmas comes around, isabelle plans to decorate the town “putting lights on trees, how hard could it be?!” she thinks as ornaments fall to the ground

@Mr.Fox​
Timbra's a special holiday guest Her dinner talk's quite simply the best But when wine comes around She's soon down on the ground and at that point we leave her to rest

@jadetine​
A wintry chill pervades the air Kicking snowballs with extra care "Oh, so close!" He sneers I frown at his jeers Perfect snowboys are very rare.

@Fye​
The winter solstice has come and gone When we had our longest wait for dawn Let our days grow brighter And our hearts get lighter As the sun feels less and less withdrawn

Happy New Year, TBT! ​

That is us now at the end of not only the closing ceremony but we are also in the final few hours of 2022. We hope that everyone had a fun time joining in our end of year festivities and that you were able to make new friends while exchanging gifts and working together on the team event. We don't know what our first event of 2023 will be yet, but we look forward to seeing you all back here whenever it happens!

Finally, to ring in the New Year, we are re-releasing the Tortimer character collectible!

Head on over to the Shop to pick up Tortimer now for 230 bells.​

A Big THANK YOU to all the staff! It was fun!

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Can’t believe I won a Christmas Gold Candy so soon after selling one, no complaints here though as it’s a pretty collectible and I was starting to miss it! Congrats to all the winners, I was surprised I made it to the final voting of Lyrical Limericks at all, let alone having people actually vote for me. Thank you to everyone who voted, I didn’t win but I feel appreciated all the same. This event was super fun and we got lots of beautiful collectibles out of it, thank you for hosting staff!

 

[corlee1289]

[Flicky]

Happy New Year, all!
