It's ok this is what they call the airing of the grievances. Part of festivus tradition.

a festivus for the rest of us.

Pit.. Jesus was not born around decorated pine trees. infact he was not even born around Christmas. Otherwise there would have been flocks of sheepcicles. Christmas is about being good to one another and buying your mom a nice gift. If you can't comprehend that then perhaps the sin of alcohol has taken your soul.

I, for one, can reach Jesus without materialism. My Christmas wish is for a European release. AJ needs more time zone friends.

She is from NZ and they get nothing. At least give her a tree. Some things America denys her.

biscuits with gravy.
pizza that has really thick crust
ummm... what do you call those things you can get at places like Disneyland that are like hot stick-shaped things with cinnamon and sugar?
mash potatoes with white gravy
roasted corn on the cob
Applebee's
Steak and Shake
Friday's
Baskin Robins
Olive garden
Chilli's
Wendy's
and probably a gazillion more.
Dr. Pepper
never had turkey or pretty much all thanksgiving foods.
big pretzels.


are we gonna deny her a tree too?

No really? You really felt the need to have to put down my post to say that. Like my being sad because we wont have the Christmas items in the production cites was a prime time for you to make yet another dig at someones post. Very petty! Just another chance for you to be flipant. What else is new? Hope this is giving you your giggles, wouldnt want to disappoint you any!

I feel its nice to have the ability to decorate our lots for Christmas and I look forward to doing just that. Its a huge disappointment to me that we wont have that option to do so. I know what Christmas means to me and the lack of ability to decorate doesnt lessen my feelings or the meaning of the day for me. It just makes me sad that I cant express my joy by decorating my lot as I always do each year.

If you have a problem with that, oh well.

[/ QUOTE ]

I giggled at it. I think that was the point, really.

I'm sorry your Christmas is ruined because you can not decorate your TSO lot. I wonder how many people will forget about Christmas because there are no snowmen?



Also, IMO, Jackie saying that Christmas isn't about material things is not putting down your post. It's simply saying.. Christmas is not about material things. If you feel put down by that ideal, perhaps no amount of Christmas decorations can warm your heart?


[/ QUOTE ]


Hmm can you read? I never said Christmas is ruined for me what I did say was "I know what Christmas means to me and the lack of ability to decorate doesnt lessen my feelings or the meaning of the day for me. "

Try again.

Im all about the festivus...
Equal opportunity for those that celebrate the Costanza holiday traditions.
Off season the pole could be used for many other things...

And I think some ppl on stratics already participate in the Airing of the Grievances on a daily basis in CH.... repeatedly.... over... and over.... etc....

Implementing the pole wouldnt take much work.. right Lee?

<u>On an official note</u>, let's keep this thread on the topic of Christmas items in TSO, or EA Land, or....items in the game.

If she gets a Festivus pole, then I want a lighted Nativity scene.

...and a new chair.
...some candied apples.

Oh.... and World Peace.

That's not it. The company isn't out to "get" anyone or punish anyone. It's been stated for a very, very long time now that there will be NO future updates in the production cities. They gave far enough time in advance for anyone to either alter their hometown, game-play, or to quit altogether. I'd have more sympathy had they updated the production cities all this time and abruptly decided not to bring Christmas gifts all-over.
 
G

Guest

Well it sure seems it to me when they aren't allowing everyone in ALL cities to celebrate christmas. I know we can celebrate in other ways, but it's not really fair to us that don't care much for TC3 to not be allowed the same things... I don't care about "weekly chairs" or anything, but it would be nice to have the same privaleges as TC 3 to have the snow and at least the tree's.

I do have a sim in TC3 but I'm never there.. I hate patching back and forth, so no, I won't be spending my christmas there.

It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from. It would be great to be able to have all the new updates/equal updates as TC3 in the production cities. Unfortunately, that's not possible until EA-Land opens and the cities are merged. What I am saying, however, is that the company gave plenty notice not to look forward to any quirks or updates in the production cities for quite some time now. Bringing it up is just bringing up a used and tired issue IMO. No matter how many complain, it won't change.

Humbug on Christmas...all that snow makes the city ugly as an open pit iron ore mine in the dead of winter. Its about aesthetically pleasing to the eye as a slushy mud puddle.

You cant even decide where to purchase a lot for your property because you have no idea what the place looks like the rest of the time.

If you have money to spend on property just before or after Christmas.....then you obviously are not spending enough on my gift......

Well, that's stupid. Everyone doesn't play in TC3 and alot of people don't care for it. Although Maxis is ALL about TC3 that doesn't mean everyone else is.


I want my snow.

I agree that it's very frustrating that production cities have been getting left out holiday things. Especially during a time where things are pretty frustrating in general in game.
