Neopets Advent Calendar 2007

[Pickles]

I swear that those Fir Cookies look real. Maybe I'll try making some this year, if I get a decent tree cutout? Hehe.

Hehe. We *do* make tree cookies - in a brilliant green color, and poinsettias in red. That's my family's tradition. Hence why seeing them makes me want to make them earlier this year.

Ok, I simply HAVE to ask this: what do you add to make them "brilliant green"? (I hope it's not some sort of a secret family recipe ) I'm not really into baking things, but that sounds all kinds of awesome.

It has to do with three things: A) what kind of food coloring you're using, B) when you put it in the mix, and C) switching out some ingredients from the recipe. If you want all the details, PM me and I'll drag out the recipe for ya - it's not a family secret, but it has been family-modified.

Hmm. I thought today's gifts were kind of boring, personally. But hey, can't argue with free stuff.

Ah, but it's not snot, and it looks QUITE tasty. This makes them infinitely better (than yesterday's) to me.

[Byakuya San]

Now that yesterday's troubles are behind us...yum, cookies.

[Xerophyte]

Shining Star Tree Topper?
Hellooo cliche. xD

[Lee]

Now that yesterday's troubles are behind us...yum, cookies.

I agree with Byakuya. COOKIES!

['Rina]

Awww, I love firs.

You find 934 Neopoints!!!
You find a Sliding Bruce Plushie!!!
You also find a Ice Garland!!!

Yay! Sound today for the animation! Definitely a good thing. And the plushie is cute. Almost couldn't see the ice garland on my screen, though. Still! More interesting than yesterday, and less gross than the day before that.

[eilu]

yes indeed hooray for sound! and for a wearable I can use. :clap:
I don't quite get the animation though; what is supposedly going on?

[Daze]

I love the Ice Garland, it is very delicate.

[VirtualMetal]

Christmas, as far as I know, is the only holiday that is associated with a decorated tree. And for that reason, I think it's stupid to call them "holiday trees" instead of "Christmas trees", because everyone knows trees go along with the celebration of Christmas.

Actually as a Druid I have to disagree. The tradition was used for many years before Christianity came to our shores. Although saying that, as I said earlier, I really don't mind calling it a Christmas tree, in fact I always have. All that matters to me is togetherness and love this time of year and decorating a tree together with my family whilst singing and eating good food is a symbol of that.

Whoo... Ice Garland lovely!
Does anyone know if it can go into a neohome as well as clothing? I don't have a neohome on my main and can't be bothered sending one to my old account. =/

[Twizzler0171]

SOUND! *tackles the animation*

I love the plushie. It's so cute. ^^ And I could -kind of- see the garland -- if I squinted a little I could kind of see some blue-ish white or something. haha

EDIT: It can go into your neohome! And it's clothing! I was thinking that it would be cute with my Ice Bori and it is. I only wish it went around him, that would be so adorable, haha. Instead, it goes on the top of the screen.

[Xerophyte]

Yeah, so they finally fixed the sound issue.

And I'm loving all the wearables, woo.

[beanmommy]

yes indeed hooray for sound! and for a wearable I can use. :clap:
I don't quite get the animation though; what is supposedly going on?

Ditto to all points made above.

[Pickles]

Really loving the garland! Both neohome and wearable? AND can be "worn" by baby pets? (I already tried it on my Boochi'd pet). Woot!

As for what was going on: I think they were racing, and the blue bruce won?

[Arka]

I'm happy with the prizes. The garland is hard to see, but it is fun to use it.

The music is nice!

I am confused about the story, too. The bruce whose head popped out of the water at the end had a scarf and hat, which I don't remember seeing on the one who flew up? Why was the one Bruce glaring?

[Pickles]

Well, the one that flew up is the one that's standing on the iceberg that floats across, at least, I'm pretty sure it was.
As far as the one glaring - wouldn't you be if you'd just fallen into icy water?
