2018 Advent Event - Pet, Item & Event Discussion

[ZΕL]

W-why am I on the naughty list, that's not fair >:(

Looks like everyone got 10 boots and 5 food items, but it's randomized which ones.
There seem to be 3 types of food platters and 8? boot types

But something I never understood about this dog is 'How comes the lights are working????' The socket is in it's mouth, so why there is light with no power?
But hey, if it's pretty it doesn't need to make sense, we are in a chicken smoothie after all

I've always wondered this too xD
Cs magic.

Maybe he was struck by lighting? XD

Oh my gosh, I wish I had my PC at the moment so I could screenshot my sticky notes of "ideas for if I ever became an artist" - this exact idea of PPS versions of pets that never had growing stages has been on there for ages! Along with a big note saying "hollyfox" (; so now I've got my fingers crossed that that will happen by some Christmas miracle!!
My favourite from tonight was this little guy for sure:

He was my favourite of the three last year (though the lineart edits on the tail loom a bit thicker on their tiny little bodies, haha)

Oh my gosh I’d love the holly fox to have a pps version!
I adore the design and I’d love to see more of it! :3

Wait why boots? Is there a tradition somewhere I don't know about that involves filling footwear with Christmas treats? Or is simply a CS twist on the traditional stockings?

It's Saint Nicholas' Day! c:

Traditions vary a little between regions, but where I live in Germany, our kids will put a boot outside over night from the 5th to the 6th, and if they were a Good Kid (tm) that year, Saint Nicholas will fill the boot with candy goodies. If they were naughty, they receive nothing but coal.
So basically like stockings for the American kids! :)

[WHEN'DHEGO?!?!]

YES! I didn't get any coal!
I'm a little disappointed there'll be no stockings this year, but this is a super cool substitute!!
(Please don't take anything I just said badly again.)

Huh, I did not know that. There are pretty interesting and different traditions around the world. It's nice that CS sometime give reference towards them.

I love the little nods we get to the different ways cultures celebrate this time of year and how they can be familiar and different all the same! I Hope we get some Lucia Crowns this year too!

Well just because we got boots, doesn't mean we won't be getting stockings. We still have plenty of days to go before the event ends.

Ah i never knew this either, really interesting. The cowboy boot and kid's sneaker really had me scratching my noggin until ZEL clarified things a bit further. Those platters sure do look yummy!

@KC
Probably not, but at least my pets have another place to receive presents from
I'll post them once I have them all dressed for Christmas
