### **CHRISTMAS PARTY**

The town is decorated, the Christmas trees are up, and Club Penguin is having its first ever Christmas party!

To celebrate this holiday, everyone gets Christmas presents! Walk to the big green presents near the ski hill and in the ice rink. You will recieve a Christmas cap and a red and green striped scarf. And the best part is that anyone can wear them, they're absolutely free!

Merry Christmas! Enjoy the party!

### **THE SNOW FORTS**

Spending time talking to friends on Club Penguin is great, but sometimes you just feel the need to throw snowballs at them, and the best place to do that is, of course, the Snow Forts!

The Snow Forts are to the right of the main town, and connect to the hockey rink. It's also where you will find the Puffle Round-Up game, a game where you must try and capture as many puffles as quickly as possible.

**Fun Fact:** The Snow Forts were the first place that a puffle was discovered. It had made its home in the fort with the blue flag, but occasionally popped out. It even stuck its tongue out at some of the penguins who were looking for it!

### **MORE JOKES!!!**

There once was a man from Japan;
Whose limericks would never quite scan!
When asked why was so;
He said "I don't know,
But maybe it is because I try to cram as many
words into the last line as I ever possibly can!"

### **MORE POETRY!!!**

On the 12th day of Christmas my puffle gave to me
Twelve dancing penguins
Eleven swimming sharks
Ten melting ice sculptures
Nine strumming guitars
Eight spinning sombreros
Seven skipping mancala stones
six racing sleds
five golden igloos
four blasting astros
three throwing snowballs
two leaping biscuits
and one thousand coins to my self things

- from Fishsticks

penguins are black
penguins are white
o dear! i think i have a frostbite!

- from the dodo

Puffles love to be with you
They come in pink, green, black, and blue
Their body is very circular
I think soon they'll be very popular
If you see one you're very lucky
They're better than a rubber ducky
some people see them here and there
But I wish I could see them everywhere

- from Coffee Ann

I am a penguin, black and white
I have two wings, but not for flite
My diet consists mainly of fish
It's kind of boring, but I love that dish
I like to slide, and play all day
The way I walk looks funny, people say
I live where the snow is as far as you can see
I think it's pretty cool, you named a club after me.

- from Zackary

Christmas time, is almost here,
and the town is filled, with lots of cheer!
So til' next week, just wait and see,
what Santa has, in store for me!

-shapsi

These funny birds in fancy clothes
may waddle around in snow
but when they reach the icy seas
Just watch how fast they go!
There song sounds like a donkeys bray,
they can't soar or fly
yet penguins manage very well,
and let me tell you why...
Their feathers keep out of water,
their blubber keeps out of cold
their wings make perfect paddles
cause they don't fold!
Their tales are good for steering,
they brake with both there feet
So tell me now from all you've heard....
Aren't PENGUINS NEAT??

- from Jackie de Boer

## Secrets

### **SECRETS**

Club Penguin has lots of fun secrets to discover, and we've recieved literally hundreds of e-mails asking what some of those secrets are. So, we've started a Secrets section to tell you about some of the secrets in Club Penguin!

#### **Secret of the week: Viking Helmet**

Inside every clothing catalog is a special hidden clothing item to buy... the Viking Helmet! For instance, in this month's catalog, if you click on the middle "O" in the word CO-O-OLD on page 2, you'll see it pop up. Where will it be hidden in next month's catalog? That's for you to try and find!

And that's not the only secret in the catalogs! Every clothing and furniture catalog has secrets inside. (**Hint:** Try clicking on the logs in the fireplace of the furniture catalog.)
