.....Hello 2012!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope the first day of 2012 was a great one for you all! I really had fun visiting on Pandanda today. Hanging out with my friends was an awesome way to start the new year!

Make sure to get your New Year 2012 Party Hat from the catalog at the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. It is what all the stylish pandas are wearing this year!

Have you gotten all of Chilly's prizes for the Winter Festival yet? You still have two days to collect Stocking Stuffers and trade them to Chilly at West Market Street for prizes. Don't wait until the last minute! Chilly will leave Pandanda sometime before midnight Pandanda time on Tuesday, January 3rd.

Here are some pictures from my New Year's Day visits. Enjoy!

Snowman Day with Sheriff Steele

Brrrrrr! Does it seem extra-cold in Pandanda today? It must be because of all the snowmen hopping around for Snowman Day! You can be a Snowman today, too! Just collect 5 Stocking Stuffers and trade them to Chilly the Snowman for his Frosty Potion. Drink that potion and you'll be a Snowman!

Snowmen move pretty slowly, but they can dance and jump! And Snowmen look REALLY cool when they jump! Try it for yourself, and see what I mean!

Sheriff Steele has made his first visit of the day, and he had a great time chatting with pandas on Willow and Oak. He doesn't get to visit Pandanda very often, so when he does, he likes to see as many different pandas as possible! And even though he can't add friends to his list, he wants you all to know that he considers all of the citizens of Pandanda as his friends!

I promised Sheriff that I would post some pictures from his morning visit, so here they are:

Sheriff Steele will be visiting again today at 5pm Pandanda Time. He hopes to see lots of jolly Snowmen on his visit, and to meet more awesome Panda friends!

Remember, if you want to show off your holiday-decorated treehouse, take a screenshot and send it to screenshots@pandanda.com. Make sure to send the entire screen of your treehouse, from your Panda name in the top left corner all the way to your backpack in the bottom right corner so we won't miss a single detail!

Check out the new Poll over on the right side. Cast your vote for your favorite Winter Festival prize!

Keep it Snowy!

Sheriff Steele to Visit for Snowman Day!

Thank you to everyone who sent in an entry for the Festive Photo with Your Friends Contest. All of the entries have been downloaded, and the judges now have the very hard job of picking a winner. The winner of the contest will be announced on Christmas Eve, December 24th, right here in my Blog. Good luck!

Tomorrow is Snowman Day in Pandanda. Trade 5 Stocking Stuffers to Chilly the Snowman for his Frosty Potion, and turn yourself into a Snowman! Sheriff Steele is planning to take a break from his busy schedule to visit Pandanda at 7:30am Pandanda Time, and again at 5pm Pandanda Time. He wants to see lots and lots of Snowmen during his visits, and he has promised to take pictures that I can post in my Blog.

The Pandanda Moderators have been telling me about the beautifully decorated treehouses they have seen. I got a peek at some in the contest photos that were sent in, and I want to see more! If you are proud of your holiday-decorated home, take a screenshot and send it to screenshots@pandanda.com. Make sure to send the entire screen of your treehouse, from your Panda name in the top left corner all the way to your backpack in the bottom right corner - we don't want to miss a thing! I will create a "Holiday Treehouses in Pandanda" album to show the pictures!

Mods Gemmza and Jule have shared pictures of their Christmas treehouses with me. Take a look:

 

 

Stay Merry, Pandas!

Woo hoo! Winter Festival!

Pandanda is blanketed with snow, the gigantic Christmas tree is up in Bear Hollow, Christmas decorations are everywhere, and holiday music is playing - it must be Winter Festival time!

Collect Stocking Stuffers from all over Pandanda (except in treehouses), then visit Chilly the Snowman at West Market Street to trade them for his cool prizes! And make sure to visit Mr. Elmhurst to do his Winter Fest Quest. He has the first of the special Quests that will be available during Winter Fest.

Check out these first pictures of pandas enjoying Winter Fest today!

Wow, that is a HUGE Christmas Tree!

Visit Chilly the Snowman to trade Stocking Stuffers for his Prizes!

Monityy already has the Sled Companion!

Enjoy the Festival, my friends!

Winter Festival Starts Tomorrow!

 

I can already feel the temperature dropping, and the snow clouds are starting to gather. I expect to see Pandanda covered with snow for the start of the Winter Festival tomorrow! The townspeople are ready to "Deck the Halls" with Christmas decorations, and the delivery of a huge and beautifully decorated Christmas Tree has been arranged for Bear Hollow. There will even be festive holiday music!

Chilly the Snowman will be back to trade his awesome holiday prizes for the Stocking Stuffers you will collect from all over Pandanda. Almost all of Chilly's prizes will be available to every player. There will also be some holiday items added to the Clothing Catalog and House & Tree Catalog for Elite members, so make sure to check those out!

In addition to collecting Stocking Stuffers to trade to Chilly, there will be some extra holiday-themed Quests for you to do each day. So you should have plenty to do to keep you moving and warm, even in the snow!

I promised to post some more pictures that you sent in from Red and Green Day last week, so here they are!

Winter Festival Starts Thursday!

Hi Friends!

The Pandanda Winter Festival begins in just 3 days! The Pandanda townspeople are working hard to get their holiday decorations ready.  I was checking the Pandanda weather forecast for this week, and it looks like there is a very good chance that we will get lots more snow! I bet it will be just in time for the Winter Festival.

During the Winter Fest you will collect stocking stuffers that will appear all around Pandanda, then trade them for awesome Winter prizes. It will be 20 days of Wintery Fun!

We've started to get lots of entries in the Festive Photo with Your Friends Contest. You can click that link to read all about how to enter the contest. You have until 11:59pm PST on Sunday, December 18th to email us your pictures.

Please make sure to read the rules of the contest very carefully. If your entry does not follow all of the rules, it will not be entered in the contest.

Red and Green Day last Wednesday was so much fun! Everyone looked Christmas-y in their red and green outfits. Here are just a few of the pictures that you sent in from Red and Green Day. I'll post some more this week.
