On my facebook feed this morning was a countdown of the days to Christmas….sod Halloween that shit was scary! It’s definitely time to start ordering gifts, writing cards, thinking about the plans for that one single day in December that will have many of us stressing out for the next 2 months! There’s a lot of planning ahead needed in both virtual and real worlds. Months ago my plans for the day and the day after were set in stone…My father and stepmother will visit in the morning, then go to my sisters for dinner and then back to mine for tea. On Boxing Day all of them will descend on my house for grazefest. Basically I cook up and make heaps of cold meats, salads and savouries and people just graze all day. The highlight of last year was introducing my father to Cards Against Humanity which we played for hours and got even more raucous the more alcohol was consumed. I’m fairly sure he considered disowning both me and my sister after some of our answers.

About the Stuff:

Serenity Style is helping us plan ahead in SL with the Give a Gift gacha that is being released at the next round of The Crossroads on the 3rd November (yes a few days to wait but that does fit with the theme of planning ahead!). The gacha set includes beautiful gift packages and boxes that can be used to pack items and pass to a friend and because they aren’t typically ‘holiday’ styled they can be used all year round for birthdays, anniversaries and more. The rares are the decor items of the tool box and rolls of wrap.

Also planning a’head’ is the new Farah hair from MINA which will be released on Tuesday at the November round of FaMESHed. I saw a WIP of this a week or so ago and it looks amazing on and falls really nicely on the shoulder and over the chest.

The decor featured from Twilight is a collaboration between Warm Animations and ATriUM Designs working on beach houses and furniture with gorgeously textured mesh and the smooth animations you expect from Warm.
