With the two Advents happening on Duke's Group and Whiskterwick and Secret Santa all happening around the community, I thought it would be fun to show off Petz we received this Christmas! I received a few! (this is not all of them but I figured I'd start!) Gratis from ShadeA gift given to me after No Adopt November so I wouldn't fail the challenge! Hamster from SharonDewdrop from lobbA daughter of the famous Raffles!!! Thank you all so far! I'm so grateful!!

I've told you this but I'll say it here too, I'm so happy to see you're taking good care of Dewdrop! I've received some good gifts too, I'm waiting for holiday season to be over to post them in one go (and get all my Screenshots sorted, in case I manage to make a nice collage like yours).

Good luck Lobb! It's been a journey to try to collect all of these into a nice little graphic honestly-- but I have too many so I need to do it day by day or I'll feel overwhelmed! I can't wait to see other people's petz! Missandei from RhoA really lovely kitten from two SGCh catz of Rho! I wrote a bunch more details on the Duke's Group post, so click on her name if you wanna read my extensive notes on how I feel about my gifts haha (you have been warned!)

I love all your new petz so far, Thor !! That hamster cutout is so adorable!! I'd never seen anything like this before! The kitty that goes with it is so cute, too! And, OMG, Dewdrop!! So tiny and squeezable!
I can't wait to see pics of that Honey Bear hexie you got from the WW Advent Calendar!!
Finally I find the time to post here! I might still add another one or two in upcoming days, depending.
Also, I have opened two pose shows (one for dogz-based petz, one fore catz-based petz) for petz received or otherwise obtained as gifts during this holiday season. If you want to start their showing careers, that's a good place to start!
Porkchop Gravy was a custom Christmas gift from Arie . I was really excited because I had JUST missed her beautiful Persian hexies on the Advent Calendar (they were all gone within minutes), but she was nice to let me have a customized version of them! I picked the eye colors (my favorites!!) and brown to replace the original red fur color. I decided to keep the name she gave him because I didn't have any Porkchop Gravies yet (surprising, I know), I like funny names, and that fits him like a glove! Porkchop Gravy is such a pro already, he got BIS in his first three shows!
These two fancy Alleys are Lutier and Steel. I love their colors and all the spots! They were a surprise Christmas gift from lobb ! Lutier is ready to join my show team after only one short posing session -- I mean, what a pro! -- while Steel, which his challenging Calico legs and Siamese tail, is going to need a little bit more work to meet my posing standards
Below are the petz I got from the WW Advent Calendar (so far), in no particular order:
Camouflage (born uncle) is a super cute Desert Lynx mixie with a very interesting texture from Jesse1535.
Moonstar, from Arie , whom I posed 3 ways since she has a Siamese personality. I love how I managed to get a perfect standard pose picture as I took her out of the cat door for our second encounter! I mean!! I thought I'd have to use the love potion like I did with my other Siamese hexie from Paige, but nope, Moonstar was ready and willing for it all!
Witchling was hexed by pinto . I love his colors and markings! Despite his Alley personality, he was a very willing poser.
Cubase (born Cubone), hexed by pinto on Arie's Japanese Bobtail file, was the last available from her litter, and I don't know how I was able to snatch her. Such beautiful markings! She was so unwilling to pose though -- within a good half hour, she posed only ONCE (this pose), and that was it! I was at least lucky to get a good alignment on first try.
Pilatus was hexed by Croag and customized by pinto . I absolutely adore him! So big and beautiful, and I've always had a thing for little tufts on the ears, and these are GLORIOUS! I also love his yellow and purple eye color! I was so happy to be able not only to snatch one, but THIS particular one!
Snowdrift (born Snowcap, but I already had a cat named that) was hexed, to nobody's surprise, by silverfish ! I am so in love with this big kitty, from the giant ears (I DO have a thing for BIG ears!), to the arched back, big stripes, well everything!! I'm not sure how he will do in the show ring because this is the maximum he will turn his head to the camera while posing, but at least he tried
Last, but not least, Flatworm! I've already shown him in the random pics thread, so just one quick pic. Hexed by [SKINSTEALER].

I feel incredibly lucky this year that I was able to grab three Petz from the WW advent calendar--I don't get on the forums every day (and this year I was really only around for the first half of the month anyway lol) so I'm usually way too late to grab anyone who catches my eye. But this year, luck seemed to be on my side! (And there may be more to come--I didn't realize when I got back from my holiday travels that there'd still be so much left to adopt!) The first one I grabbed was Larch (originally named Willow) from Arie . He was the last one from his litter and I thought he was just so cute, but I didn't realize until I got him in my game that he's a poodle--which, of course, makes me love him all the more! He loves to prance around and make googly eyes. Still not quite sure how I managed to get this guy, but here's my second gift, Peluche, a joint hex from [SKINSTEALER] and hjort. He's absolutely perfect, of course! Again, I didn't realize until getting him into my game that he's a sheepdog, which is my second favorite dogz breed! So he's tripping all over my screen and flooping around and isn't graceful at ALL and I love it And finally, this is Dreamland (originally named Amayah) from CRUSH . She's purebred and non-inbred, so she makes a great addition to my MC crew! She's got amazing colors and is also a great poser.
And since I usually count all of my December adoptions as Christmas gifts, even if they didn't come from advent calendars or whatever, here are my other holiday petz
This is Rusty, a Pleistocene alley I bought from Alexzander 's PUGS shop. She's just as grumpy and sour as she looks lol. I love her colors, and I'm hoping to get a show pose from her soon!
I also couldn't resist buying a holidali from Buck 's PUGS shop, so here's Roaring Fireplace. He seems to be a big jerk to my other Petz so far, but he's pretty and festive, so I can forgive him for now lol
And last but not least, this is Sortiment, a velveteen bought from Arie on TFM. He's small and sweet and has made himself quite at home.
Thank you to everyone for my new Petz! I feel very fortunate this holiday season

Thor Sorcery's really cute! And the art Koda made of Houston is amazing! OMG, commander , I love Rusty so much! I have a thing for lynx-like kitties, and this one looks so beautiful! Peluche looks amazing too! That's funny to learn he's actually a dog! So I acquired "a few" more kitties since last time... I got this beautiful kitty, which I named California, as a gift from Thor ! She was born of SGCh parents, and Thor brexed her using a texture I had recently mentioned liking a lot, so that was a nice surprise! I love all the neat details, like the inner ear color matching the nose, the chest color matching the muzzle, and she also has a completely black back. I didn't think I could pose a Calico in any way that would be good enough for me, but this cat was very willing to pose (her SGCh lineage, maybe? ), so it didn't take me very long to get this near-perfect Cali pose! (the eyelids are not 100% even, but I'll take that!) I think she ended up looking absolutely stunning! Below are more petz I got from the WW Advent Calendar:Ambiguous, hexed by pinto . This cat was the very first listed on Day 31 of the Advent Calendar, and I knew I wanted him right away. I love her big yellow eyes, and that crazy texture, wow! The fur keeps shifting wildly depending on the angle and movement, sometimes showing black spots, sometimes white spots, and with that texture looking either dark or light around them! The effect is amazing! A very showy kitty for sure!! Dessert is another beautiful hex by pinto . I adore all the little spots and stripes, the split coloring, the little pink nose with matching inner ear color. And it's a bob tail on top of that! Escarmouche is such a cute and fluffy Alley! She was very much distracted with scratching her flea bites during our posing session, but we did eventually make it through! I love her mossy green eye color. She was hexed by Nawmi Nutella was hexed by lunarlex . I love her colors and markings! <3 Her big brown eyes made me think of hazelnuts, thus the name I gave her! I really have a thing for inner ear color matching the nose, it seems! Pepita was hexed by Dew . Another cat I immediately knew I had to have! I love how she looks like she's covered in gold nuggets (yet again, thus the Spanish/close to French name). I love the eye color for this cat, too! Snowfall, hexed by Laura, is a "Lost-in-the-Snowshie" kitty. She was the last of her litter, but she would have been my first choice in this litter, so I was quite happy to get her. What a pretty falling snowflakes effect on her fur!
And I'll probably have a few more coming...
