Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick!



Oh my. It seems that every day, we find ourselves closer and closer to Christmas! Say, wasn't it just yesterday that we had Thanksgiving? And Halloween the week before that? Oh well. That doesn't change the fact that Christmas is rearing its head like a dragon that's been asleep for-

Where was I? Oh, yes. 'Tis the season. What with Christmas so doggone close and all, it's just about time to start making holiday treats, and why not start with Cookies for Santa? Hyacinth is to thank for these warm, tempting treats, so go on down to the ration machine and grab some for yourself, while they last!

Unfortunately, the Thanksgiving items have disappeared for the year. Hope you managed to buy some before they went away!





Hyacinth has brewed up a delightfully warm cup of Hot Chocolate Drink, perhaps toss in some mini marshmallows toasted in hot torch weather! Head over to Settlement One to claim your holiday item!

To be frustrated out of your mind looking for those pesky hidden candy canes, that is! That's right, there are three brand spankin' new candy canes and last year candy canes are back again for you to find, hidden in various places around the site.





The Uniba Candy Cane, IguIgu Candy Cane, and the Vux Candy Cane will be lurking around for only a short period of time, so hurry and find them. And, remember, do not reveal the locations of any candy canes.

Oh my. It certainly seems as if everyone around here has an island vacation on their minds, doesn't it? Well, that's not all bad. After all, who wouldn't want to spend their Christmas laying on a sunny beach with a sweet, frozen treat to drink instead of spending it in the snow like a walking, talking snowman?



Okay, so maybe Santa Clause would rather stick with the snow, but Santa Clause you are not! In any case, we do realize that not all of you are fortunate enough to take a dream getaway to the Caribbean this winter, so, with that in mind, Cypher has so kindly crafted us the Wreathed Coconut Ornament to make the holidays a little sunnier. They're only in the ration machine for today, so hurry on over!

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered at those weird looking streaks of different colored lights you can sometimes see at night? What are those, anyways? Moon rainbows? Dragons? Aliens? Of course not, that's absolutely ridiculous. That's the Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights. You still don't know what that is?





Well, it's a good thing that Sora found this Northern Lights Book. Head on over to the ration machine for your copy, and stop coming up with silly conspiracy theories. Hurry though, it's only available for today.

Here we are, another day closer to Christmas. Pretty soon, you'll be needing to go out and get a Christmas tree to decorate. Or, if you're allergic to, are afraid of, or have been wronged in the past by a Christmas tree and have forever sworn vengeance against pine trees everywhere, we have an alternative for you.





The Palm Tree can be decorated just as easily as a Christmas tree, and it offers a more tropical alternative to your home, this holiday season. Thanks to Enki, the palm tree is now available in the ration machine.

It's bird! It's a plane! No, it's Santa Clause!

Well, no, it's actually too early for that, so it's not that either. It's an adorably festive little dragon!



The Merry little Mynt Dragon has arrived to spread Christmas (or is it Torchmas...?) cheer, and to make your holidays holly AND jolly. Hyacinth was the first to spot this cheerful little luna. Oddly enough, what caught her attention was the soothing, minty sent that this creature gives off. Don't believe me? Well, why don't you pay Io a visit, and see for yourself?

No, Rudolph is not gliding around the Cruithnean sky this December, but who could forget the symbolism in the lovely animal?



The adorable Reindeer Beanie is now available as an advent item in the rations machine! We can all thank Hyacinth for the adorable, little plushie. One thing is for certain, however, this particular beanie is not enchanted, and will not fly! No matter how many times you thrust this delightful toy into the air, it will not catch air like his lively counterparts!

Aloha, brudda!

That's right, it's time for another Christmas Advent item, and this one is a tasty, tempting treat that's perfect for those long Torch afternoons out by the pool with your pets. Not only that, but it adds an exciting island feel to your day!



Chow down on a warm, tropical treat and beat the Torch heat with a Tropical Hawaiian Pizza . It's the perfect Torch snack to enjoy with your pet as you count down one day closer to Christmas. It's available in the ration machine today, thanks to Hyacinth!

It is time to say goodbye to the enchanting season of Prismlight. The remarkable hues that streak the sky fade into a deep red, and burning winds replace the mild weather as Torch blows onto the asteroid. And as a result of the new season, the Prismlight items have been retired! Hope you happened to catch a few before they disappeared!

In other news, the first Christmas advent item is now available in the rations!



With this Holiday Postcard, you can send festive messages to your loved ones back home! Perhaps your pet would like to create its own message on one! This postcard was created by the crafty Hyacinth!
