It's Glitchmas Time!

In case you've been lying awake worrying that the winter holidays would pass Glitch by and leave only the odd potato and lump of guano at your doorstep, all that yearning will not go unrewarded. Today, Glitchmas has arrived. Brand new goodies have materialized in Ur just for the occasion (dropped down the "seasonal features" chimney if you will) and will be around for you to make merry until a couple of days past Christmas.

To stir up the holiday spirit, a sleigh-load of clothing has found its way to the Wardrobe. You can deck your Glitch out in iconic fur-trimmed red velvet, or choose from a number of the most shamelessly festive sweaters Ur has seen.

Once you're dressed for the part (or not, if you're feeling all bah humbuggy) it's over meadows and through the caverns to the nearest Toy Vendor you go. They’ll have stocked up on three new items that are each a gateway to even more surprises as Glitchmas marches on.

So what are they?!?! Gift Boxes let you bestow well-deserved presents unto the Glitches who stand by your side through rookings and peat bog quests, in a package that's infinitely nicer to look at than a plain brown bag. They have three slots, and to the despair of ribbon factories everywhere, a one-step wrap comes included. If you’re skint and would rather send someone a more lightweight token of your affection, crimson Glitchmas Cards let you offer your tidings with a personalized signature. And lastly, but most awesomely, there are Glitchmas Crackers. They take two Glitches to open, with the lucky cracker owner giving the first pull and both getting a treat for their efforts.

So all those Glitchmas parties where this stuff can be pimped out would be twice as fun happening in … well, the snow. But you'll tire of throwing holiday shindigs that always end up with a couple of your guests croaking. Enter a new Party Space where the frost doesn't bite: Winter Wingding!

One final note before you rush in to try it all out: there may not be egg nog, but that doesn't mean you can't maybe 'nog' an Egg of your own.

  • Could the present boxes persist past the holidays?   They would be great for birthdays and 'just because'.

  • I'm going to go bankrupt spending all my currants on the fun new Glitchmas crackers and cards! What a great bunch of ideas. Very festive.

    I am all Xmassed out IRL (bah humbug!), but my Glitch is happily wearing a Glitchmas hat in Ur.

  • May I ask why the sound effect for the crackers sounds like someone being tortured?  The first time I heard it, I thought someone was being attacked.

  • They don't. They sound like someone straining to pull at the ends of a Glitchmas cracker.

  • They do.

  • Excellent!

  • I was wondering which (if any) of the items are going to persist, or if they're seasonal like Zilloween ones. I'd love to keep the gift boxes, at least.

  • This has been super fun so far! I can't get enough of the crackers!! I am going to hoard them so I can make Glitchmas last all year...
    Posted 12 months ago by Rapture Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I hope the gift boxes don't leave those could be quite usefull other times of year like birthdays and what not.

  • Have we got a answer as to whether or not we will be able to use the gift boxes and glitchmas crackers after the season ends?  I want to make sure my prize boxes will be able to be opened, as I'm using the gift boxes for my Hunt and just realised, what if they won't open after Glitchmas has past?  D:

    And I'm hoarding Crackers... >_>  will they be able to be used or will they sit around my house until next year???  D: D: D:  super worried now!!

  • I keep getting very stinky cheese and race tickets in my crackers. Bah humbug!!

  • What will happen to glitchmas items if we have them after Glitchmas? I would really like to have a Glitchmas in July party if it will still work then...

  • I attended a fab-u-lus party last night in Winter Wonderland and it was so much fun.  This is the best Glitchmas EVER!

  • Do we have an ETA on how long will these activities be going on, Blanky? Not like there's enough on your plate already LOL, but I have been really sick and dealing with a lot of real life crap and I'm praying that I don't miss the chance to send some love to some Glitch-folk who have really stood by me during some difficult times.

    Also, pardon if the question has been asked/answered but I don't feel well enough to read through the thread. XD

  • Loooove all the Glitchmas goodies! Their fabulousness has inspired my thinking: Any thoughts on making holiday food items available (like thos fabulous pumpkin pies and ales earlier)? I'm thinking mince pies, egg nog, fruitcake, and, of course, cookies! And lets not forget seasonal music--special music boxes, perhaps?

  • @LitaPie "will be around for you to make merry until a couple of days past Christmas."

  • I'm still wondering though - if you own a Glitchmas item already, will it still work past those "few days" after Christmas? If not I have some Winter Wingding parties to throw, and fast!

  • Is there a general topic thread for how much we love the outfits/clothes? Glitch clothing designers, you guys rock my (w)ur(ld). I just found the disco pants. omglove.
    Posted 12 months ago by emdot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I certainly hope the Winter party packs will still *work* after the few days have past, as well as the Crackers... if not I've spent way too many currants hoarding for nothing.  :<
    I want to host a Winter party for New Years too and use up all my Crackers there.  What if they don't work!!!??  D:

  • Miso, I feel the same way - I was hoping to throw a "Glitchmas in July" party if possible. 
    Posted 12 months ago by Kristen Marie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you so much.  It was fabulous!!!Well done.

  • Can we get gift boxes all year long? These would be so useful for birthdays and all sorts of random events.
    Posted 12 months ago by Gwyn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have left a couple of gifts for people who I know haven't logged in lately, will they still be able to open the gift boxes I left for them, or is there some sort of time limit on that? I'm kind of worried that they won't be able to get the items out of the box. Does anyone know?

  • Awww it's over. I was hoping it would at least last till the end of december.
