Well, good morning, everyone.  I assume Tex is enjoying family time, so I thought I'd step in.  I'm not as talented with the photoshop as he is, so you'll have to suffer with a random picture I found on the internet.I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday.  I'm working today, so others don't have to, but I'll be on later to enjoy some fun with friends.  In the meantime, a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, belated Festivus, Kwanzaa, and other assorted holidays.  Heck, whatever you do (or don't) believe, a happy Friday to us all!
(This isn't my plot, btw - it's someone else's entry into the holiday contest, but I loved it as a background for my current holiday costume).

Good morning and happy Christmas to you and yours, Snick - as well as everyone else out there on Nexus and beyond!
 
Actually, I've been up since 3AM. I did Winterfest dailies on all my toons, did a couple of Expeditions, and three daily zones on Tex before 5AM.  :D  Finally woke everyone else up just before 8AM. Christmas commenced. 
 
I got a pair of new casual leather work shoes, a wallet, a belt and then ... the greatest gift my family has given me in many years. I didn't even have to ask. They just KNEW I'd love it - and I do. It's 75 degrees and 98% humidity here in Houston, but I'm sitting in my den wearing this:
 
 
Soooooo. Turkey is in the oven, the wife has everything under control so I started messing around with my house. Then I got inspired to do a frozen wasteland kind of thing on another toon. That's when I noticed ALL KINDS of new ice-covered and ice-themed stuff on the Housing Vendor menu. I am blown away that I just now saw these and have to wonder if these are permanent additions or if they're going away after the event. Because let me tell you, I need these in my life on a regular basis. I have enough gold to buy a crapload of them, but I don't know if it'll be enough or not. 
 
If a Dev is reading this, please let us know. I would  :wub:  you long time.
 
Anyways, I think it's time for a short nap on the couch while I wait to pull out the bird. I'll be around this evening, maybe we can do something.
 
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a great day!

			I hope everyone has a great Christmas. I'm too broke and no family around, so no Christmas for me, but I really truly hope everyone reading this has a great day whether you celebrate Christmas or not. And I want to thank all the people who made this game possible and all the players that keep this game so fun. Merry Christmas!

			Oh, and special thanks to the people behind the Father Christmas deal that's been going on on Entity Exiles. Been fun both getting free presents and donating presents for them to give away. Guess I can't really say I didn't have any Christmas with that going on. Also want to thank the people behind the WinterFest costume contest, again on Entity Exiles, it was a lot of fun and I even won something super awesome! I was really surprised, since I honestly didn't think my costume was that good. I was just there to have some fun. Real life might be a bust today, but I've had a good time this week in the game. So, thanks again!

Happy end of the year holidays to all of you.
 
I've been enjoying some quiet time with my family and didn't spend a lot of time on Nexus. Didn't feel the urge to, either.
This is one of the few times a year where it doesn't take a crowbar and promises of delicious food to seperate me from my keyboard during my free time.

			I'm right there with you, Panda.  No family for hundreds of miles - blood OR chosen.  The first Christmas in my life that I've spent completely alone. If this is what getting older is like, I'd like a refund, please.

Merry Christmas, guys! :)
 
My Christmas hasn't started quite yet. My boyfriend works third shift so he'll be asleep for another hour or so. Once he's up, we'll do presents and I'll start making food (lasagna). Should be a nice, quiet holiday. Our roommate will be here and we also invited a good friend. No one knows yet because they're still wrapped but I bought a couple of board games for all of us to play together :).
 
A handful of us on Entity did the Hellrose Bowl last night. It was kind of nostalgic for me since no one runs it anymore. It serves zero purpose now besides a title (which we didn't get because we didn't have enough people and were slow). I still had fun (and didn't care about the title since Reekah already has it). In general, playing last night was a lot of fun. The server was dead so easy, casual content became more challenging. For example, we did Lightspire with less than 20 people total (including exiles)...and managed to finish with just one minute left ;). I was the only healer, it was pretty frantic :p.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Or anything else you're celebrating. ^^
 
I had a very turtle-y gift morning. Lots of turtle stuff, and lots of new mineral specimens. Yay! xD Got my husband a new graphics card, so now he has a better computer than me (no fair!--wait, that's my fault). Of course he wants to test it out now. :) I imagine we'll be playing vidya gaemz until the guests arrive for dinner. Mmmm pull-apart rolls and beef tenderloin... And then we'll all play Cards Against Humanity, because what better than that on Christmas day? :D
 
Looking forward to spending the later evening with my friends, possibly running some dungeons or (hoping) some rp! Husband should be pleased with his new frame rates in raid tomorrow, too.

I am sending cyber hugs to all the people who say they are alone this christmas. Stay strong and remember that lopp hugs are the best because they are full of shininess <3 Had a great day today. I am absolutely exhausted and am about to cuddle down with my son and watch a christmas movie before hopefully going to dreamland.
 
Also, here is a very bad picture of my amazing christmas sweater for this year! T-rex loves christmas.
 
Happy holidays to everyone on the wildstar forums, and i hope you have a wonderful new year too! :)

			To take the tree down this morning, or wait until after New Years. The eternal dilemma.  :lol:

Merry christmas people!
Even though I'm a couple of days too late :P
I hope you all had a very nice christmas, however you spent it!
In Sweden we celebrate the 24th. If coca cola is having problem making us drink coke during christmas, disney has no problem getting our attention. Every christmas eve at 3 o'clock the swedes are watching donald duck and rest of disney wishing us a merry christmas on tv, it's one of our strongest traditions:
 
 
So, christmas was nice with family, and I've been resting and eating for a couple of days now. Haven't spent much time around computer, and it has been a nice break =)
But now it's time to work a little, will be sitting tonight and sort things out so I can finish the job offer I got before christmas. It has been a ride with misunderstandings, and I feel like I might have chosen a new career that might hurt my sanity a bit, at least if I often run into clients not knowing anything. This is the second time I got a job offer where they said they wanted a but they wanted b, but they thought it was the same things while there is a huge difference =) What can you do :P
 
I read there are a lot of bot discussions. Well, it's positive to read that people wanted to play during the holidays, and that it seems like they wanted to pvp. However, unfortunately the bot issue seems to have been noticed more... and it might perhaps stopped potential christmas players to actually play.
A shame, but hopefully Carbine realise how serious it is considering all threads that has popped up.
 
I'm actually not minding my time off from the game, since I know the bot issue is still a problem. I will probably keep my break ongoing when I return home until it's resolved... which I really hope won't take that long.
 
I'm hoping you all are having a good time, and that you have been able to get some rest and lots of food! Tomorrow a new week starts, and it's soon new years eve to celebrate as well :)
