So, without getting too into detail...we are having severe money problems in real life right now, with no real way for things to be fixed. I don't want to get too into it...partly for fear of looking like I'm attention-seeking, and partly because things are literally so bad I don't think anyone will believe me xDD
That also meant that Christmas this year was going to be VERY tiny, if it was even going to happen at all. It almost didn't, and considering Christmas is huge in my family...that was actually pretty depressing. What made it worse...this is the first Christmas since my dog (and best friend) Madison passed away. Christmas was her favorite too...she always loved opening squeaky toys on Christmas morning.
It turned out okay, even though it was small, and I had a lot of fun! It was sadly quiet without Madison, and I requested...at least for this year...that any gifts not be wrapped with wrapping paper, because I always opened gifts and handed the paper to Madison to playfully shred. Or I'd have her help me open my gifts. I knew I'd automatically try to do that this Christmas, realize I couldn't, and would become depressed all over again if I had to handle wrapping paper.
The loss of my best friend aside, it really did turn out nice though!
But the days leading up to it, expecting nothing on Christmas, I kind of went nuts with the PUGS Christmas event. I figured this was the only holiday fun I'd have this year, and these might be the only presents I'd open. And I've participated in this Christmas event every year, and it's one of my favorite things (if not THE favorite thing) to do on PUGS. xDD
I love Petzy surprises (as you'll see again here in a bit) and I wanted pretty much everything under the tree, so I just couldn't wait to see what I could get! I didn't have time to hex much for the event, but I bred a bunch (and hexed a few) Scooby Doo Dogz to donate for the event! So I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Scoobies! <3
Anyway...the event was really fun, like always, and it REALLY cheered me up on the days leading up to Christmas. It brought back some Christmas spirit, and excitement, and it meant more to me than something to just do for fun, you know? For me, it was a part of Christmas tradition that I was lucky enough to have this year, when I thought I'd have absolutely nothing going on.
So seriously midnightwolf...you worked on the event, the coding of putting Petz up one by one, handling donations, hexing and breeding for WEEKS before the event...you did pretty much everything on your own, and you really didn't get anything out of it for yourself. You did it for us, just because, and we don't deserve you. xDD You're so awesome, and seriously thank you for doing this, and making my Christmas feel a little more normal...familiar. You made me forget for a while about the bad stuff going on, and it means a lot.
I hope next year will be easier on me, and I can prepare a lot more stuff for the next event! It's more fun when I have a whole bunch more to donate. xDD
ANYWAY, late night emotional heartfelt thanks rambling aside...here's the Christmas Petz I was blessed with this year!
---
This first batch is from midnightwolf, who I got the most from! You might have seen the three hexies at the top from this thread I posted a while back! If not, check them out because those graphics had awesome pictures, and I talked more about the hexies there! And since I did that already, I'll skip over them this time...except to say I still LOVE them and can't stop playing with them, ahh! <3 I also forgot Toastpuff has sleepy sickness...all the more adorable xDD
Anyway, it's a very tough call on the bred Petz...but I think my favorite has to be Atban! <3 He's got so many traits that hit high favorites of mine! He's a shortie lab, complete with a beautiful color scheme...and even trots!! He also has adorable Chi ears as a little bonus xDD I was so excited when I unwrapped him! <3
Friction has a funny (and slightly embarrassing, on my part) little side story. I kept trying to open Friction's gift, and it wasn't working. I mentioned this glitch to MidnightWolf, jokingly adding that he used too much tape on this gift to keep it shut and I couldn't open it. He saw no problem and didn't know what to do. So I went back to try again, and it just wouldn't work. Then he asked me how many candycanes I had...and it hit me.
I stupidly was ONE candycane UNDER the amount needed to open the present. How I managed to mess that up when it's in plain sight in front of me...I just don't know. xDD I felt so stupid!! But I bought another candycane and it worked like a charm, LOL! I named her after a type of tape, to remember the joke and my stupid moment by. xDD
Sanguine is so special. xDD He doesn't seem to live up to his name's meaning at all, with how angry and spiteful he is all the time, but that makes it even better xD I love his super sweet face, and totally opposite personality...he also has the torn Alley ears, which I love! His whole color scheme looks awesome too, and he really does look like some mangy little alley cat, and I love him to pieces!!
Rayoni...gaah! <3 She's a giant, shortie Chihuahua with a Sheepdog personality and a double chest patch...and I love her color scheme! She's just one big ball of cute, and I'm so happy I got her!
Giliki is also awesome and adorable xD She's so pudgy and cute, and has such wonderfully floppy ears! I'm also super happy I got Favil, as I saw MidnightWolf bred some Calico Russians, and I was absolutely dying for one! Favil's got long legs, and a soft looking color scehem, and he's just so neat! <3
I really love the colors on Iser and Angbur! They're so striking, especially with those icy eyes! (Which make me think of Bec, since that's her favorite eye color xD) And Affynd and his sweet Chinchilla Persian personality, fun ears, Alley spots and puffy tail...he's just nothing but precious! <3 I also really love Dapple and Nabasu...maybe I just love Calico patterns on non Calico Catz, but I've been loving the look on Siamese Catz too! And their puffy tails make it even better! <3
When I first saw Kinetris, I thought she looked similar to other Persian mixies I've bred before. (White with black points) But Kinetris had a solid white tail, which seems more uncommon, I think? I don't know, but it stands out and somehow makes her so much more beautiful to me! And those soft eyes...she's one of my favorites too!
Lurkil was a great find! Talk about soft color schemes...plus, she's a Calico Oshie, which I'm also loving lately. Oh, and the eye color I've ALSO been enjoying lately! xD And oh man, Iveh and Tairo...Oshie faced siblings with Meezer personalities?? They absolutely cracked me up when I saw their innocent faces and grumpy personalities. xDD I love them so much, and they're such pretty Catz! I feel like I should have swapped their names though. Iveh is a male, and Tairo is a female...but they've already had their names too long and it feels wrong to change it now. xD
Gah, but seriously, this batch of Petz!! <3 I love them!!
---
I unwrapped these guys from Miss Ann Thrope! I find it funny that all the Dogz (and even one of the Catz!) share the same color combo...black and white with blue eyes! (Bec, I think I got Petz you'd have wanted there! xDD) I'm particularly crazy for Oiry! Not only is she absolutely beautiful, she's a goofball in-game and she keeps making me laugh xD She was pulling faces at me earlier that I sadly failed to catch a picture of. xDD
I love how snuggly Dynnina looks, and I reeeeally like how the red colors look against the softer tones of greys, whites and creams on her. She's almost comforting to look at, between the colors and her somehow plush toy look! She's a grumpy Alley though, make no mistake! xDD
Farave was a really nice find...I was wowed by her as soon as I saw her, and there was no question that I just had to have her! Such a pretty cat, oh my!
I couldn't resist Lileru and that Mutt face! He looked like he was wearing a tuxedo, all dressed up for the Christmas event xD He also looks almost realistic, kind of like a dog mix you'd see in real life! I don't know, he was just super cool! I think he was the first one I found from Miss Ann Thrope as well!
I'm also really fond of Simez! Pretty sure this was a poet (meant to say pet, but I'll leave that typo there...maybe she IS a poet) who came out, I was in love with...and then she pushed me over the edge by trotting!! HOW CUTE!!
And Yiom, ahh! Couldn't resist him when I saw him. Maybe it's because I'm missing my dog Madison, but his black face with long black ears, and random white paw tips and white chest patch...also even the stocky body...I dunno, he kinda reminded me of Madison a little bit. He's so sweet too, and I'm really glad I have him!
---
And here's the last ones from various people!
As soon as I unwrapped Yulee from Thor, I recognized which OW was used with him! I have the same Chihuahua OW file, and I think it's adorable and I was so thrilled to find a mixie from it under the tree! And his Christmasy red coat was so neat! I actually really like the red and dusty together, and he's just as cute as can be! <3
Suldyn is from Arie, and he's a really neat little Chihuahua! I thought his colors and the little Dane ears looked so unique on him, I just couldn't resist him! I'm very surprised I got a calm picture of him. xDD While I was trying to get a picture, he kept running around and doing goofy things like he was high on sugar! I wanted a picture of the madness but he was going so fast, they all turned out bad. This is the first good one I got xDD
Lumina and Stockings are from Bec, and I had a double surprise with them! They were the final two pet presents I got from the tree before it emptied for the final time...and when I unwrapped them, their images were broken. But it was written that they were from Bec. I really love the stuff Bec breeds, and I'd looked at preview images for what's under the tree, to see what sort of things she donated...and I wanted nearly all of them. xD So I claimed the Petz without even knowing what they looked like...and it was even more exciting to get them in-game later to see who they were!
Lumina was such a thrill...she's SO pretty, I love her colors and short little legs and giant paws...she's just absolutely beautiful, and quite an energetic goofball! (I should introduce her to Suldyn...) And when I saw Stockings, I couldn't stop smiling xD For some reason, he was one of the ones who had jumped out at me the most of Bec's donations. I LOVE when back paws match the lower halfie marking seamlessly like that! He looks like he's wearing footy pajamas, or stockings (thus the name xD) and I don't know why I love it, but I do! And he even has that pretty eye color I've been loving lately AND HE TROTS!!
When I saw him in the previews, I really liked him but what were the odds, you know? I wished, but I didn't think I'd get him. So when he came out that Petz door, I was SO happy! I dunno, I just REALLY love him, and I'm still so hyped that I got him. <3
And finally, Nikolaus from Penny @ Just Dandy! (Right? Are you the right 'Penny'? xDD) How festive is this dog?! He's got the Christmas colors of red and green...he has white, like snow. He has black, like soot. (You know, from the chimneys that Santa comes down? It looks like he's covered in soot! xD) And the cream of his paws remind me of sugar cookies! (Which we used to make on Christmas) And if his overwhelmingly Christmas colors weren't perfect enough, he also has an adorable bobtail AND he has a smooth coat, which is a major weakness of mine! I don't know how to express how much I adore every detail about this dog. xDD He is the PERFECT Christmas dog! If Christmas spirit could be born into colors and patterns on Petz, this is what it would look like. That sounded weird. But it's almost 5am and I'm dead tired, so...there you go. xD I love him.
---
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE~
I ALSO GOT TOYS AND STUFF!
Pichu (hexed by Nawmi) wasn't a holiday gift...she's been here for years. xD But she totally had to check out the new stuff we got! The bed and plushie are from Buck and I believe MidnightWolf hexed the snowman cookies? But they're all so cute! I saw some other people showing off the husky plush, and I really wanted one too, but again...didn't think I'd get it. And it was the ONE toy I DID open! I'm so happy about that, even if Pichu is concerned! xDD She loves the bed though, and I love how it's just her size! And oh the cookies...I reeeeally wanted some cookies! I loveee giving my Petz hexed treats. It's oddly satisfying to see them eating all kinds of fun goodies, and there were a bunch of cookie options, and I was lucky enough to snag one!
All in all...as far as toys go, I got exactly what I was hoping for! A plush, some cookies, and even one of the beds! Not a bad haul at all, and the plush and bed are just sitting in the Playpen now for everyone to enjoy!
---
So yeah!
I reeeally gotta go to sleep now. xDDD
Thank you guys SO much for the Petz, the toys, everything! I'm very, very grateful for what I got, and it all made me so happy, and really made my holiday! And thanks again for hosting this event MidnightWolf!! It sounded like it almost didn't happen at all this year, but I'm so glad it did!
Thanks for looking, guys!
That also meant that Christmas this year was going to be VERY tiny, if it was even going to happen at all. It almost didn't, and considering Christmas is huge in my family...that was actually pretty depressing.

I didn't have time to hex much for the event, but I bred a bunch (and hexed a few) Scooby Doo Dogz to donate for the event! So I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Scoobies! <3

I hope next year will be easier on me, and I can prepare a lot more stuff for the next event! It's more fun when I have a whole bunch more to donate. xDD

Thank you guys SO much for the Petz, the toys, everything! I'm very, very grateful for what I got, and it all made me so happy, and really made my holiday! And thanks again for hosting this event MidnightWolf!! It sounded like it almost didn't happen at all this year, but I'm so glad it did!
Thanks for looking, guys!
