Why, Sharky Santa you are tops A Teef Beanbag is great! Have a Sharktacular Lumi And don't stay up too late!

Hope you got all the groceries! We are in for the Eve, pizza to be ordered and maybe a bad Xmas film on TV. Have some tasty food and a great day.

I have 12 snowballs to throw, but my my kindle is rebelling, so they will come your way at some point! My other half enjoyed the star wars film, so hopefully you will too. You should get yourself something and wrap it anyway, everyone should have a treat to open. :) Ok, might be a bit last minute now, but next time!

If you've done the donation dump when I am about, I'll pop a ping out for the group. Next stop, pizza!

Happy Luminaire and Happy Holidays!

Reply box on comments is failing again - works on the gifting page, very weird - so will do that when I can.

Containment for cat gifts sounds smart. I am spending tonight and the 26th at houses with dogs, so I am stocked with allergy pills and inhalers! I will beat the sneezes.

Yeah, I can understand that. Same old problem, not enough time to do everything you want! We are trying not to record many programmes over the festive period as we won't have time to watch them all! Catch up TV is our friend.

There are lots of nice market towns here, where you can get lost for hours browsing the vintage and second hand stuff. New year is often when people clear out the old, so shop pickings are good.

I have taken to storing sewing patterns in those clear, A4 plastic wallets, very handy when you don't want to crush the pattern back into the envelope! It's hard with paid-for courses, as you may end up being taught stuff you already know!

Oh, the multi player stuff is always good for the Wii/U. Not sure if we're gaming over the festive period, it could end up being board games rather than computer. Good luck with completing the "finishes" quest. I think my other half has his most gaming hours on Fallout - not sure which one as he has played all except Vegas (the rage quit one). xD

Did you do any of the Prof Layton series if you like a puzzler?

Treated myself to a new pet! Uhm, a graveyard Warador. Yay!

They already need a new fence in the new year, so a bed expense wasn't needed!

Hope your last minute things get sorted ok!

And a Happy Luminaire to you too!

🎄 May this evening bring for you Festive frolics and fun All the prep is complete Lumineve has now come Tucked up warm in our beds Sharkies eagerly wait We wish all in the Tank A Lumi that is great!

I'll start throwing scratch cards and fairies into the donation center this evening and do it at least twice tonight and again tomorrow. I will post here and on the giveaway forum when I do, since I do this every year. Hope you're feeling better. And looking forward to snowballs! :D

I guess the forum gift boxes stopped because I haven't gotten any in a while. That's OK, only got junk from them any way. And I was disappointed to see that the "gifts you've given" section is only for trees so doesn't have the expensive wish list items I sent to friends. I hope they update their wish lists, so I don't give them the same thing again. :)

hello fish, last minute scrambling underneath your trees and wrasslin' with your cats

santa jaw's comin' tonight tonight~ santa's comin' tonight~

meowy christmas pusheen :)

The free shop is open! I've already gotten my first disappointing free shop gift. LOL. My luck with free shop is abysmal.

Yay free shop! I hope you all get some nice stuff ~

Nice jumper, your HA looks very snug!

Mainly lattes at the moment from the free shop or it's empty. xD Oh, well, there's time yet.

We will look forward to the seasonal donations! Just an annoying cough now, so better than before.

We can now be disappointed by the free shop rather than the forum boxes!

Yes. I never have any luck with the free shop each year. I see everyone else posting how many WL items they got but all I ever end up with is junk. Just surprised it started already, I thought it began on New years day.

Snowballs released!

Yeah, chance based things do have that kind of vibe. Got a beanbag with my last one, not super rare but not already got it. That'll do!

I've gotten a couple valuable things, like maybe worth 800-900K, but nothing I wanted so they all go into my shop. Would be nice to get at least 1 WL item. In past years they also added a lot of Melody items into the free shop, which made those plummet in price to almost nothing. Hope they don't do that again.

Aw, thanks! Zombies probably don't really get cold, but they can at least look festive. :P

I like your HA's holiday PJs look, very comfy and relaxing!

Only had one Melody item so far, couple of elixirs, the best being: Which might be nice for a future pet.

Already used up my loyalty box pet slot!

Festive Zombie-ness is the only way forward. Hope your Xmas/Lumi are going well.

I've gotten a couple elixirs also but nothing worth much or any I want to keep. And it just started snowing here!!! :D (I live in Arizona)

Thanks! It's been pretty good, doing more stuff tomorrow and during the week.

I hope you're having a good time as well ~

Oooh, enjoy the snow! It's nearly 80 degrees here, lol ;~;

Looks like we've got a couple inches already and it will be nice to have a fire in the fireplace tonight. (and yes, it does snow in Arizona :) )

Sounds fun! I wish it were a little colder here just so it actually would feel more like winter, but I'm okay without the snow.

I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend/week! <3

Ooh, proper festive weather there, very nice! We're dreaming of a mild, grey cloud Xmas here in the UK...or at least that's what we're getting. A fire sounds lovely too.

Glad you're doing well. We have three Xmas lunches over three days in three different houses. Travel and food is the way!

It's coming down a lot right now. Usually people say, Arizona? you're in the desert, it can't snow. But I'm in northern Arizona which is mountains and forest. :)

Busy few days between wrapping up at work, heading to my parents, and a crazy 48 hours there so far! My sister is cooking dinner tonight, so I get to sit and try to figure out a plan of attack for the next two days. I know I need to weigh out some things tonight to bake tomorrow between unwrapping gifts and making dinner. We're hosting a big dinner for friends on Boxing Day since our family wasn't able to make it for Christmas this year. Now I just need to figure out what times I need to be in the oven to get dinner on the table at a reasonable time!

I'll likely be on for a bit tomorrow between doing some cake stuff. But, if you're not on and you celebrate the holiday, Merry Christmas! If you don't celebrate the holiday, have a good Sunday :)

Luminaire Giveaway Every year for Luminaire Eve and also on Luminaire Day, I throw a few hundred scratch cards and lots of Fairies into the Donation Center!

I will do this at least twice this evening and again tomorrow.

Already threw some in. Go for it!

Enjoy!

And Merry Luminaire! :D :D

OK this is weird, I just put over 300 scratch cards and Fairies into the DC but none of them are showing up. Does it have a delay before the items start appearing? OK I guess they are showing up but there's a ton of other crap in there also. Darn.
