Merry Christmas, dear godlings. ^_^

For anyone following it, the births themselves are to be taking place here. Although, for purposes of the holiday, presumably the children and mothers are all doing as well as can be expected.

Don't forget--Christmas is, for virtually everyone, the one day when they will be able to contact their loved ones on the outside. Use it wisely! (Those of you busy celebrating with your actual loved ones are welcome to backdate as needed.)

Also, on Christmas morning, in the parlor presents will be awaiting the godlings under (or next to, as the case may be) the tree! Everything will be tagged to say who it's for, but nothing to indicate who sent the gifts. Here is what everyone is getting:

( Secret Santa! )

And, any presents that the godlings intended to give to each other? Yes, they're here too. They can be found underneath the tree in the living room.

Any questions? Don't be shy! ^_^

Event 8 has begun, my darlings--the initial log starts here. Of course, action threads will also be allowed during this event, just like last time, if you wish.

However, since today is also the birthday of nine little boys and girls, that means it's time for BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Here's how I would like you to do so.

Using the account of the custodial parent and whichever icon you would like to use as a portrait, copy/paste the following form and fill it out in the comments:

<b>Full Name:</b> <i>Son/daughter of [Mother] and [Father]</i> <b>PB:</b> <b>Powers:</b>

Of course, any questions or anything, let me know!

Normally, I'd do this on the 13th, with tomorrow being our 18-month anniversary. (Way to go, Metem! I'm so proud of you! ♥) But it's only once a century that we get a date like 12-12-12, so I'm doing it today. ^_^

Just as a reminder, we open the game to the Mayan pantheon beginning on the 21st, so if you've been wanting a Mayan, now's your big chance!

Also, moms- and dads-to-be, I will be expecting birth announcements on the 21st (be watching the OOC for the announcement to go up), so these are your last few days to prepare custody, names, PBs, icons and powers!

And speaking of the births, here's how things are going to play out for Event 8:

And, also, dear godlings... A meme of sorts, but everyone is required to participate. Please comment below with at least one in-character wish for a gift for each godling, if they could have ANYTHING they wanted as a present for the season. ^_~
