Hey everyone!

So, the holidays are fast approaching, and Colligo is getting in the holiday spirit. Or the holiday movie spirit. Remember those old Christmas specials? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Santa Claus is Coming to Town? Frosty the Snowman? Jack Frost? How the Grinch Stole Christmas? The Nightmare Before Christmas? Okay...maybe not that last one. Anyway, the point is, those stories are coming to life in Colligo. Maybe your characters will build a snowman (or snowwoman) and it will come to life. Or maybe they'll run into Frosty himself. There will be reindeer in the city, and some of them will even talk. One even has a red nose. Be nice to him. He has to put up with a lot of crap. And be nice to the little elf named Hermey too. He's just not sure what he wants to do with his life. Be careful around the Abominable Snowman though, because he can get really angry. If your character runs into some broken down or messed up toys, they should have a conversation before throwing them out. They really just need someone to love them. Meanwhile, Jack Frost will be running around causing winter weather with Snip and Holly, and Santa himself will be getting gifts ready for everyone, with his penguin friend Topper...while a green guy in a Santa suit periodically steals decorations. And if you don't recognize at least some of these references, you have no heart (or possibly no television) and you make me sad.

There will be lots of snow, but it won't impact people's lives in a negative capacity. The city is really good at keeping its roads clear. Still, your character might slip on some ice, especially if they have a bad habit of being a mean person, so be careful. In the meantime, Christmas decorations are definitely up all around Colligo...even though the Grinch keeps stealing them. The mistletoe is harmless this year, so your characters can take comfort in the fact they won't be forced to kiss anyone. At least, not by magical forces. That could change of course.

On another note, we are doing a roll call. This is not an activity check, we just want to know who is around. So please reply with your list of characters by Saturday, December 17. If you do not reply, you will be removed from the game.

Use the format below to list your characters for the roll call:

PLAYER:
CHARACTERS
• Name | Fandom | journalname

<b>PLAYER:</b> <u><b>CHARACTERS</b></u> • Name | <i>Fandom</i> | <lj user="journalname">

As we said, you must reply by 12/17/11 at 12:01 AM EST. Otherwise you will be removed. As the point of of the roll call is to see who is and isn't paying attention to the game, we would appreciate if nobody discusses the roll call. As always, comments will be screened and only official hiatuses will count.

Thank you.
