They're on a glass-bottomed boat tour with presents in the boat, the Skeith makes the boat overbalance, and the presents fall into the water where some Koi gratefully receive them. I'd almost forgotten that Kiko Lake has glass-bottomed boats; they petrify me :P

I'm guessing that the Krawk wanted to do something for Jhuidah(?) for the holidays, but wound up doing her list of chores. Or something like that. What puzzled me was, she lives on Mystery Island, right? One of the things on her list was shoveling snow. Does it actually snow there? Or was she gonna teleport the poor guy to some other faerie's home to shovel her snow?

The thing that confused me was the empty faerie bottle prize.

If it hadn't been Jhuidia, I would guessed that he opened the bottle to get blessed, and instead ended up being asked to do chores. But I don't know what bottle would have Jhuidia. =P

At least the bottle is really pretty, I wish it had been the wearable instead. It'd be a lovely trinket.

I love the idea that, when a faerie magically appears, it does so to the kind of noises you'd hear from a 1980's fruit machine.

To be fair, I'm not sure what else they'd put on it. Although I would have thought it'd be a pound sign, if anything. Oh, Neopets.

Something has happened!
You are now eligible to use the 'Winter Holiday' theme when browsing the Neopets.com website!

I wasn't too worried about ever getting that, but i think this is the first time in my 10 years of playing that i've managed to visit the Advent Calendar every single day for the prize. I don't know what other possible requirements unlock the achievement.

Today's animation was pretty funny. Kinda anticlimatic imo, but whatever, I liked it. Didn't watch it all, though. -lazy-

And I didn't get the theme :o I definitely visited every day.

I liked today's animation too.

I already got the winter theme a year or two ago. I was anticipating an avvie for some reason. I think I just jumbled up two of the news posts from Jelly Neo. lol The one about the apple bobbing avvie and one about the upcoming advent calendar. They must've been right above/below each other.

No.

The reason you anticipated an avatar is because of this statement from Neopets' Facebook page:

Get into the holiday spirit and get your free prizes at the Advent Calendar. :) If you claim your prizes on all 31 days, you are even awarded an avatar, so don't forget!
