.....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!

Festive Photo Contest Deadline Coming Up!

Hey there, Holiday pals!

It seems like the Winter Festival has gotten off to a great start! Pandanda looks so festive with all of the greenery and lights against the snow. I am really starting to get into the Christmas spirit!

I wanted to remind you that you have today and tomorrow to send in your Festive Photo with Your Friends contest entry. Any entries received after 11:59pm PST on Sunday, December 18th will not be entered in the contest. You can click that link to see what the deadline is where you live.Don't wait until the last minute!

We have seen many more eligible entries come in since I updated you about some important contest rules on Wednesday. It really does make a difference if you follow all of the rules! Don't forget to include your panda name in your email!

This Tuesday, December 20th will be Snowman Day! Collect as many stocking stuffers as you can between now and Tuesday so you can get lots of Frosty Potions from Chilly the Snowman. We are going to fill Pandanda with snowpandas! Check out this picture from last year's snowman invasion:

I'm going to ask Sheriff Steele if he can drop in on Snowman Day. I've told him that lots of pandas want to see him, and this would be a great day for a visit! I'll let you know what he says!

On Friday, December 23rd - Christmas Eve Eve - it will be Christmas Outfit Day. Put on your most Christmasy clothes, then join your friends around the big Christmas Tree in Bear Hollow to sing Christmas songs!

Have a great weekend!
Henry

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.
