But I'm not sure putting out the best stuff on Christmas day is actually a good idea... at least, some people won't want to be going online to collect AC stuff. I suppose they have a better idea of how many people visit the AC on the 25th compared to other days. I agree today's stuff was kind of meh, like they were rather running out of ideas. I thought we'd be getting earmuffs like the ones on the lupe in the animation.

Yesterday (I think) I hoped we might be getting another bell item, since there was a hissi ringing a bell in the animation. We didn't, but they did release handbell music as an item in the news. I don't think it's actually released of course, but I hope it does get released eventually because I want it.

Heh, I really like today's animation. It sure does bring back memories. :D

Oh, and as for why yesterday's prizes bothered me: A codestone was really unexpected (not to mention absolutely unrelated to the animation). I was really hoping for some shiny bell, a card, or something.

Not to say that I hated the prize, it's just that...why?

I personally love the hair bow, but I seem to have a thing for hair bows in general, haha!

I like the animation, but the items themselves aren't my favourites. I don't really get how a lump of cake is called 'slingshot' instead of ammunition or something <_<

I quite liked today's animation, but I don't understand why there were two hits of the fruit cake at the end. Bizarre.

Grrrr. I completely missed the Advent Calendar yesterday. >> Which will make this the third year in a row I won't get the stupid sidebar, which is the only one I'm missing. *mopes* I really hope it is random and collecting every day isn't a requirement.

Spiraled, I think Captain Rourke is supposed to be this hard, mean guy, and it takes him a bit, but having him laugh at a present of a turtle neck is unexpected. At least, that's how I understood it.

Well you won't be the only one sidebarless on the 31st ;)
Meh, I wish it was based on something like...everybody gets one xD

Ooh. Well that makes sense! I assumed it was just about a random guy waiting on the dock for a deal or something of the sort and this xweetok randomly gives him a blue sweater... 0_0

I can see Rox and Lily in today's animation more than Rourke & Lily. Maybe he would buy some suggestive mistletoe for her, and she just takes it off to study it's pine formation, completely ignoring him again....

That would've made up for the last 20 days of dumb animations.

Thank you TCStarwind for the lovely signature! ^_^
