Beautiful decorations from everyone! I have a question for Elustriah: On the bottom floor of your house there is what looks like a love seat? I don't think I've see one like that before. Where did you get it?

- Kattasrophe of Siege Perilous

Its not how much christmas deco you have its how you display it, I don't want the judges to say wow she wins cuz she as a castle with tons of christmas deco, I don't want to be judged on how my castle looks, and I don't want to be judged on if people like me or not. I just want to be judged on how I displayed my christmas deco in it.

So best of luck to you, and to everyone that entered this contest

 

[Kayhynn]

Kayhynn, I sent you those pictures in a email will you please let me know if you got them. Thanks

I have not received them as of yet. And I checked spam folder too and it's not there. Make sure it didn't bounce back to your email account. Thanks!

MY HOUSE ENTRY on the lovely shard of Siege Perilous! Wouldn't you just love to stop by for cookies with Santa or to ride on the train?

This is my house when you see it from the map BEFORE you enter it. It's Santa Claus on the roof next to his big old tiled head! Now all the murderers running past can stop briefly and feel the magic of Christmas on their compasses! So touching, brings a tear to my eye.



Wow, it looks like Santa has some sort of fungus growing on him! Ha ha, nooo, it's just flowers! Lots and lots and lots of flowers! And he even has gingerbread men in his beard 'cause he ate too many!! There's also a choo-choo train with SANTA himself leading the charge to bring presents to all the good little pvpers on Siege Perilous.


If you want to come visit, my house is located just outside Luna's SOUTHGATE. Then run all the way on the road until you see a really, really long bridge that links Luna to Umbra. Take that bridge all the way across then keep running until you come to the BRIGAND camp. My house is pretty much directly across the street from the camp. If you're getting attacked by brigands, you can probably see my big SANTA HEAD on your map!! And it's even open to the public despite being on Siege Perilous so you can meet Santa himself. HE'S GIVING OUT FREE COOKIES!! :O :O :O

 

[ChsyBrooke]

I have not received them as of yet. And I checked spam folder too and it's not there. Make sure it didn't bounce back to your email account. Thanks!
