Hello all, Sturger here.
With the month of December, being almost done, I wanted to take the time to reach out to everyone and see how their holiday events turned out. Below I've listed a few gifts I received in game, and in real life. I want everyone, who wants to share, to follow my lead and list a few of the things they received which made this holiday season better then last years.
~~In Real life...
My wife gave me a green Star Wars shirt with "Master Yoda" on the front, saying something clever. I really like "Yoda's" character in Star Wars because of the way he talks, and of course because he doesn't let being small get in the way of being heroic. Though, I think "Master Yoda" would say: "Heroic I am not. Yoda I am. Someone stronger, quicker, better skilled; there always is, young Pad-wan."
I also, got a pair of 20 sided Mountain Ice Stones, which replaced the need for having ice handy. These stones are clever because you put them into the freezer for an hour and then you can put them into a glass of liquid and make it cold in just a few minutes. Great gift for those of us who have a few drinks at the local UOE tavern.
~~In UOE...
This year I decided not to do the 12 days of Christmas event. I just didn't have the time, or energy, to run around gathering what was needed for those quests. But there is always next year, or maybe I'll get lucky and buy a few items off some overstock vendors. I was, however, lucky enough to get a green tunic from a friend, and a Poinsettia decoration from the Mrs. Clause quest. So, in the end, all is not lost.
Thanks in advance to everyone who posts a response. I hope everyone has a happy rest of the month, and may you all have a great, and safe, New Years!
