You're here already? Oh no. I might as well share the news then: our Christmas event was stolen. There were all kinds of beautiful Christmas decorations here, and now they're not. Luckily we've found a few of them, hidden in random nooks and crannies, in trash cans, even in the river... So we're thinking this was deliberate. At the moment, we have no idea who did this and why they would even consider doing such a thing, they're surely going on the naughty list, and if we get our hands on them we'll uhh... Anyway.

It is what it is, you're here and that means we have to get started right now. We are going to keep searching for the bits of event that were lost, but in the meantime, why don't you look at the list of things we had planned?

FROGGY SNOWMAN I love it. These collectibles are fantastic! The train set is a great idea; I love collectibles that can go with other collectibles.
 
Oh no. I have so much holiday prep to do both this week and next week. Hopefully I can find the time to participate in as many of these events as possible. My scheduling conflicts aside, this all looks really fun and I'm looking forward to doing as much as I can.
 
Sadly, there won’t be any classic Advent Calendar this year as I am away on a trip for the holidays, but please enjoy the community edition from Chris in its place! I’m also excited that our second release of Scenery is here with Snowstorm and Playful backgrounds to decorate your lineups!

I love the train choo choo
 
I'm definitely excited for this event to go into full swing. Since Christmas vacation is coming up, I'll have more time to and will probably be able to participate in the New Horizons events more.
