Also remember that today only (December 1st) is also the only day of the year to get the advent avatar!

Aye, get your avatar!

And usually books increase in value (so do stamps and petpets) over a several-year term, so those of you who are long-term hoarders might take note of these books.

I wonder if they will give us a paint brush again this year

When I was headed to the Advent Calendar today, for some reason instead of going my usual route via bookmark to avoid Terror Mountain's loading time, I went through the Winter Wonderland instead.

I'm glad I did - I got a Woodland Elf Usuki as a bonus in the Winter Wonderland!


Sweet

P.S. - I made this topic a Sticky for the month while the Advent Calendar is active...

Uggghhh, I missed collecting yesterday. Another year without the theme *grumbles*

Anyone have any ideas what's in the maraqua box?

What do you do with the Maraqua Holiday Gift?

All You can do with the Maraqua Holiday Gift is put it in your shop, gallery or SDB. Alternatively you could donate, discard or give the item to a Neofriend.

Neopets are really lazy with this year's advent calender, the lack of animations makes me sad.

They're too busy focusing on the NC Mall ; P

Yeah, I'm really disappointed this year. Past years I can't tell you how excited the AC made me -- now it's kind of just... lacking the spirit it used to have, you know?

Yeah...I'm sad about this year's Advent Calendar as well. Remember animations like this one?

That was probably my all time favorite, hehe

I kind of liked today's animation. The singing neoplants were both somewhat disturbing and just plain funny.

I really liked this one from long long ago:
