So I've felt a little conflicted about posting this because...I feel like I'm being all "EVERYBODY LOOK AT THE GIFTS I GOT, BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES ME AND I'M AWESOME." x'DDD And...I'm really not trying to be that way at all! Quite the opposite! I feel very blessed that anyone went out of their way to give me a gift...and I've very much loved and adored each one I got...and I feel the -very- least I can do to say thanks to the people who shared is to let them know how much I'm enjoying what they gave me! <3
So this is more for the people who gave to me...to say a major thank you for being super sweet!! I sincerely appreciate this!! ;-; You guys are the best!!

First, there's something I want to fix! In my last showoff thread I showed off Sleigh Ride, Christmas Lights, Garland and Menorah...my Christmas Dalis from this year! (And the year before, regarding Garland!) But December was busy, and I was all over the place...
And I -forgot one.- As soon as I posted the showoff, I realized my mistake. But I was burnt out and very busy, I didn't have the time to fix it. Well, I will now! There's one more Christmas Dali I'm naturally raising, who I obtained this year:
Pretty little Silver Bells, from Rho ! She was kind of an interesting adopt! I think she was one of two or three puppies left, and a different one caught my eye. But something about this one kept making me second-guess my choice. She had such a way of pulling me to choose her instead...and now, I can't even remember what the other one looked like! I'm actually quite in love with her looks! There's something so pleasing about the grey and red together, with those soft green eyes...she's stunning!!
I'm actually pretty glad I have her! Because if you read my last thread, poor Christmas Lights wasn't exactly hitting it off with the other Christmas Dalis. He was so much more mellow, and they were all over the place and he was having trouble fitting in. But Silver Bells is actually much more mellow, and closer to his speed! They aren't really friends yet, but they're not enemies either, which is already a plus for Christmas Lights! These two seem much better together than any of the others with Christmas Lights, and I actually think they'll make a friendship pretty soon because they really do work very well together! <3
With that, I can safely say...here's what I call my 'Christmas Dalis of 2020'...despite Garland being from the year before:
But wait. Who is Winterstorm? You'll have to stick around! xD She may not be designed to be a Christmas pet, but I'd say between her Christmasy arrival and wintery colors, she counts well enough! xD
---
You could say this was my gift to myself! I hexed her for myself and kept her...but honestly I created her with the intent to give to others. Whenever I create a hexie or variation of a hexie, I keep one for myself so I don't lose the coding and can copy-paste the specific shape onto another pet and customize it for someone else. It's just easier to me, somehow, to keep track of! I wanted to give out a bunch of Reindeer + Ribboned Fuzzle Catz as Christmas presents. They're both new variations created just for this reason! And my own girl, Pretty Present, helped me by holding onto the coding I needed to keep borrowing.
For anyone who's curious, here's the Reindeer and Ribboned Fuzzle Catz on their own! ^^
But yes! I gave out Reindeer + Ribboned Fuzzle Catz as gifts, and a few people were curious if I had one of my own. So I decided to show her off! Mine's a Tabby personality, since I noticed I don't actually have a lot of hexed Tabbies! She even does tricks!
---
Bec sent over some mixed breed Petz she thought I might like! And wow, aren't they cute?! Fysor might be my favorite look-wise...it's an adorable patchy Russian blue with creamy fur, pink eyes and a teeny size!! What's not to love?! Personality-wise I think my favorites might be Rososa and Rebol! While I was trying to name and meet them one by one, Rososa came out multiple times on her own, and would do happy little dances of joy. x'DD She was SO EXCITED to be here and to meet me, and she was just READY to go!! It was the cutest thing and kept making me laugh and smile! She's precious!!
And Rebol has a Dachshund personality, and trots! Ahh! She's just the silliest little pup, I just love it!! I also love how there's a random Pit Bull thrown in the middle here. xD I loooove Pit Bulls, and Denlye's pretty awesome looking! I love her colors, and her scruffy fur, and somehow she reminds me a little bit of a tiger! Echori is also absolutely stunning with his warm, chocolate chip cookie looks! I adore how his orange eyes add to the warm glow he seems to give off!
Funnily enough, Domos and Lluilt stood out to me the most when I first skimmed over this group. I don't even know why! I just thought they were quite pretty, and I'm especially into Lluilt's looks! And those beautiful eyes!! I also love how Rhad looks! I've told people before that I used to adopt mismatched lidded Petz out of sympathy because nobody liked them...but I've actually come to like the look now? I might have been the only person telling people this year that I would -not- be disappointed with a pet with terrible eyelids for a gift. xDD I think Rhad is rad just the way she is! xD And those dark eyes are so cool!! I could go on and on about this entire batch...

Nostalgic also sent me two gifts! One of which is Winterstorm! Okay seriously, can we all just take a minute and appreciate the top-left picture?! HOW. CUTE. IS. THAT?! She looks like she's holding her own feet while she rolls, AND IT'S THE CUTEST PICTURE EVER!! Anyway, I'm naturally raising this pup, and while she's already much older by now than she was when I took these pictures a few weeks ago, she's still not fully grown! She is BEAUTIFUL. I think the pink really looks amazing with her color scheme! It's a little burst of color that makes her eyes really stand out! She's super goofy too, and barely sits still! xD She's another overly energetic Christmas pup who can keep up with the others quite well...but that usually means lots of fights too. x'DD
And Nostalgic also sent me Puzzling! She hexed on a Pikachu file, making it fuzzier, to look more like the Pikachu from Detective Pikachu, and this little guy is my very own little Pikafluff! <3 I'm naturally raising him too...and honestly I can't recall how big they get. xDD He's definitely bigger now, but it's tempting to ask if I can hex him to be a no-grow because who wouldn't want their very own pocket Pikachu?? He was awfully cute as a baby...but I'm curious to see him grow up!
When he was little and moving around a lot, his eyes kept clipping and seemingly disappearing behind the fluff. Honestly, the top-left picture shows a good example of that...and how AWESOME it can look! Does it not look like he's winking?! AHH. xDD He might be a little goofier than Winterstorm. He's always pulling these giant grins and running around with the happiest expression. xD He keeps making me laugh just with that! He's about as energetic as I'd expect from a Pikachu! I love him so much...ooh, I should introduce him to my other Pikachus!!
---
I actually got two unexpected gifts from Ratqueen this year too! These are some -adorable- little Spotted Wildcat mixies, Kiwih and Papayah! Kiwih apparently has a Desert Lynx face, while Papayah has a Russian Blue face! As kittens, I could barely tell! I thought they were both Russian Blues! But again, they're older in-game now and you can definitely see a difference forming with age! The top-right picture of Papayah has to be one of my favorite pictures ever. LOL
As beautiful as these two are together, they're not exactly fond of each other. But I expected as much, with my usual luck. xD I'm a huge sucker lately for Russian Blue mixies, and I LOVE black with cream OR dusty...and she happened to hit all those weaknesses, plus I got a rather unique looking Russian Blue mix on top of it! I don't have another quite like Papayah, and as I slowly convert my P5 crew to P4 and try to see if I have any other P5 breeds other than the tiny collection currently on my site...I could use a few more of those guys in my crew. And I'm really liking the Desert Lynx faces...so Kiwih is perfect!! I like how she has fewer spots too, making her especially unique...and she even has pretty green eyes! <3
Papayah does tricks...Kiwih does not. xD Both kittens are very energetic and get into everything they can find! They've been an absolute joy to watch grow up!! <3

🌠 Aubrey also sent me some gifts! I don't actually know if they were intended as Christmas gifts...I think some of the Mutts were, but I think she said the others were leftovers she knew I'd like...but they all arrived around the same time, and so I just sort of bundled them all here together, since I wanted to show them all off! <3 Because WOW are they ever pretty!! Fabled and Sweetie Pie might be my favorites...but Enzina, Kaltora and Mixed Chocolates are pretty epic too...
I LOVE Fabled's coat and colors so much! She looks like a stuffed animal, all floppy and snuggly!! Sirem, Kehesi and Teralo all have the "plush toy Mutt" look that I love! Sirem doesn't have the right ears, but they're close enough so I count it! xDD I LOVE Sirem and Kehesi's colors, and the double snout patches on Sirem and Teralo! All three of them look so floppy! Tasoy may look simple, but I'm such a fan of teal eyes, and I think they look nice with white fur! He actually makes me think of peppermints with the white and mint colors!
I LOVE Cururo's simple looks too! She almost looks like a regular Mutt...just with a white muzzle and an adorable teddy bear bobtail!! <3 Ikime is just dreamy with those fairydust/silvery eyes and that matching silver coat!! And I don't know what it is about Enzina...possibly the same exact eye color that I've been LOVING lately...but she's just so striking to me!!
I love how Lokin looks -almost- like a Calico Russian, but his markings are so evenly set on him! He looks like an actual halfie cat! Entirely cream back end (with some black on the legs), perfectly even cream toes and cheeks, and a white chest patch! He's VERY handsome and kind of just like a perfect accident! Most Calico patterned Catz don't have even markings like that! And I LOVE Mixed Chocolate's colors! I named her for exactly what she reminds me of...with the colors and pink eyes, she makes me think of a box of mixed chocolates given on Valentine's Day! <3 I love it so much!!
Mayfield and Riroby look just dreamy with their soft cream coats...Kaltora and Sweetie Pie are ROCKING those textures I love so much!! Kaltora looks so tropical somehow, and Sweetie Pie is named for what she is. xD She's an absolute sweetie pie, is crazy cute and pretty and I just want to snuggle and love her non-stop! I named Sardonyx after Aubrey's site, because I thought the name worked well with this kitty! xD And Iraso's colors...just wow!
Again, I'll go on and on about the whole batch if I don't stop now...xD

Cookiedough sent me a very exciting surprise gift!! An adorable baby penguin with a little green ribbon! She came with the name Tree, and as I didn't have it, I kept it! Plus it's kind of a funny name for one so small. xD Also, she's chasing her tail in the top-left picture...just wanted to point that out! x'DDD Anyway I'm so thrilled over this little penguin, because I feel like I'm the only one who didn't get one! I know a while back (...maybe even a year ago?) she hexed and released a few. And I still remember the one I had my eye on...but I missed my chance. I don't know why I didn't contact her and ask for a trade...Cookiedough, you're always super sweet! I'm sure you would have been willing, had I asked! But I guess I thought I'd wait to see if more were released...it didn't happen...and with time, I just moved on.
But I kept seeing pictures of them, and wishing I'd got one. Well, this was literally the last thing I expected to see turn up in my inbox right after Christmas! She gave no indication of what it might be in the email, and as soon as I turned on the game and saw her, I was all smiles and feeling super giddy! xDD I finally have my own little penguin and I'm thrilled!! She's SO CUTE and the little ribbon is an absolutely precious touch!! I feel so lucky! And I LOVE that she's a hyper Dachshund personality, LOL!!

I was talking to Thor and I can't quite remember how it came up, but we were talking about Mutts and how much I love them, and how people at PKC are apparently hexing unique patterns onto Mutt bases lately...and I was saying how COOL they looked after she showed me some of her own...and well, she took it to heart and sent me Brinn! He's an adorable dusty brindle Mutt pup who I can't get enough of!! He's not fully grown yet, as he's being raised naturally, but I'm in love...and now I want to hex a whole hoard of Mutts to go with him, because this is such a simple idea but I love it to pieces!! More Mutts!!
---
And so. I ran a very small, 'practice run' Secret Santa with a few people...to see if I could handle an event like this. It actually went really well, and I'm looking forward to trying a bigger scale one next time! (It may not even be a Secret Santa...maybe there'll be a Summer Swap! ^^ ) Everyone showed off their gifts in a different thread...including me, but...I wanted to do bigger graphics of the Petz I got from my not-so-Secret Santa, Kel ! They're all being naturally raised, and while they're bigger now than seen below, they're still not done growing!
Starting with my two Russian Blue girls! Aleutian, being the top of the alphabet of the Petz from Kel, was the first one I laid eyes on...and already I was satisfied. xDD She was so pretty and perfect, I could have began and ended with her! A Calico Russian, with lovely complimenting colors...and one of my favorite eye colors, which even happens to work beautifully with her fur! Just a dream!! She even does tricks! She's a smart little thing!
And Farrow, oh wow! A scruffy little dustbunny of a kitten, complete with an Oshie body! xDD She's the cutest thing to look at, and she has such a busy little personality! She's mostly sassy, despite not really having a Siamese or other type of sassy personality...but she also has her nervous moments at the same time. Making me think she's all talk when she's in one of her moods. xD Her eyes make her overall color scheme look so warm...she's almost comforting just to look at!
These girls are just stunning!! I'm loving the colors on Bricella! I love black Alley Catz, and the extra red gives her a tougher look! Plus the little vampire fangs help with that. xD She just looks like a little teenager, all set to rebel and let everyone know what she thinks of every little thing going on around her. She looks to be a lot of trouble, but like any Alley, she has her sweet side! I actually forget she has an Alley personality sometimes, because she doesn't show her angry eyes all that often. Usually it's the camera snapping that really brings out her inner Alley. xDD
I'm actually surprised Harbor doesn't do any tricks, because I get the impression from her that she's a very smart little girl. She just has such a knowing feel to her...like she's been here before, and already knows how everything works. She isn't worried about much, and is just ready to jump in and do whatever it is we're going to do! I LOVE her colors...dusty and black is my favorite color combo, and she's absolutely styled in those colors! <3
Odessa and Tangier are some seriously cute little Alleys!! Oh my goodness! I LOVE Odessa's colors, Alley spots, multi-colored tail, Alley ears, Oshie body and big paws! She's got this perfect little floppy kitten shape to her that I just don't tire of watching. xD She also doesn't act too especially Alley-like, unless the camera is out making noise. She does do a bit of random crazy Alley things off in her own little world though...but usually she's actually pretty chill and sweet!
And Tangier, oh my goodness! He's a teeny tiny, Oshie bodied/personality'd kitten who...somehow is almost bug-like to me?? In a cute way! And he has those big round teal eyes...so beautiful!! He's ADORABLE, but I feel like I'm going to lose him half the time. xDD He's such a little guy! He reminds me a lot of these guys:
Ebony and Noir, who were also brought up naturally in P3! (If memory is correct, they were brought back from P5!) And I have a feeling he's going to grow to be about the same size as them! xD I'm hoping they'll be friends, but with my luck, probably not!
These two stunning Mutts...oh my goodness, I love them!! Look at Dover's little puppy wiggle in the top-right, ahh!! He has such a beautiful wintery look, he's just dreamy! He's VERY sweet too! He runs and is all over the place, like a typical puppy, but he really wants to include me in everything he does. xD He loves attention, he loves playing, he loves dressup, he loves learning tricks...he just seems to love life! And for someone as gogogo as he is, he also has a mellow side to him. Just as much as he loves to run around, he'll also enjoy some quiet time with some quality attention! <3
And Winterberry...honestly she's driving me nuts. LOL I KEEP THINKING SHE'S A BOY? And she isn't! I don't know what it is, and I keep wondering if she was -ever- a boy or if I'm just crazy. LOL Maybe it's the accessories...she's probably the only female that didn't have a ribbon when she came. xD Anyway...she -might- be my favorite of the bunch. (That is SO hard to decide though xD) She has a POODLE PERSONALITY and with her especially unique, Mutty looks, it's just so unexpected yet epic! I think this means she'll also be a smaller size when she's fully grown! She is INSANELY photogenic, and I'm convinced she's born to be a supermodel in the Petz world. She looks like the kind of pup you'd see in a Petzy fashion magazine!! xD
As far as potential favorites go...one or both of these girls might be more of my top picks! I'm noticing that I really take a liking to scruffy white Mutts with Dali spots...exactly like Liska!! They remind me of a chocolate chip cake. xDD The one kind my mom has made before is like a really light colored cake with chocolate chips, and a fluffy whipped cream topping. That's what she reminds me of, and it makes me happy. xDD She also looks AMAZING in pink, haha! She could also be quite the super model, I think, and she's so full of that fun Mutt personality that I just can't tire of playing with her!!
And Korifah...I don't know how I missed this. Seeing their puppy pictures side by side, it's so obvious! She's going to grow to be smaller in size! <3 In-game it became more obvious as they got older, but I didn't notice at first! I still don't know how big she'll get, but I have my guesses! I love her matching black muzzle, her dazzling green eyes...and weird as it sounds, I also love her eyelids that don't match. LOL I think I had her pinned as my favorite when I first saw everyone, because something about her looks is just impossible to resist! She is also VERY hyper and full of energy!!
Kel definitely took to heart what I said about loving Mutt mixies...because here's more!! <3 I was literally like...well, like a kid on Christmas day...when I saw all the Mutt puppies. Ahh! <3 These are my pretty dusty, Poodley boys!! Aren't they to die for?! They both have Poodle personalities, but Outrigger also trots! LOL I get the impression that both of these boys also want to take up modeling...but they're trying a tad too hard. LOL Compared to Winterberry's almost flawless pictures...these two turn out looking like dorks half the time. x'DDD But I think that makes them more hilarious and endearing, haha!
Also I think they're both going to be a little smaller too! I notice most (if not all?) 'surprise' Poodle personality Dogz seem to be slightly smaller in size. Like Brixen, for example! I don't think they'll get bigger than him...if they do, it won't be by much! Which is fine by me, because they'll stay small and huggable!! <3 Also I'm absolutely in love with Oakledge's eye color with his fur...beautiful!!
And my last three beautiful babies from Kel! They're just so cute, ahh!! Okay, so I'm kind of in love with Jordash!! Another thing I enjoy is Labs with scruffy coats...scruffier than they come from the Adoption Center! Not only does Jordash have exactly the coat I like on labs, but she also has exactly the color combo that drives me nutty! Dusty and black WITH cream!! Her eyes may not be pink to tie it all together, but they ARE an absolutely lovely chocolatey color that I think actually suits her beautifully! I LOVE the one black ear too! She's almost tempting to keep as a no-grow, because lab puppies are ridiculously cute!!
Sweet and stylish little Trestle gave away the fact that the spotty ear Dali OW was accidentally left in-game by Kel during the breeding session. xDD But honestly, it's one of those files I feel like should be in the game by default! It's so natural, it almost makes more sense to use it! And look how cute Trestle came out! I'm very pleased with her! Her deep chocolate eyes are stunning too! I keep meaning to introduce her to Dover...I need to do that. I'm getting a very similar vibe from both of them. "Playful, yet very sweet!" They might just be soulmates!!
And Fife...LOL! In my recent showoff thread, I showed off a hoard of mini Sheepies I kept and was raising naturally! I hardly expected -another- one to show up! And boy is he ever handsome! Fife is almost like a snowman...he's white, round and fluffy and he even has orange coloring, similar to a carrot nose! And he has a Poodle personality!! AND TROTS. He's just so many levels of adorable and perfect, and I just love him so much!! I'm both excited and scared to introduce him to my other mini Sheepies in P3...because that crowd is CHAOS when they're out together. (A lot of hatred...) And I expect he'll make a number of enemies. xDD But how fun would it be for him to make some more mini sheepie pals?!
---
EDIT: We got some late/new arrivals, and I thought I'd toss them in to the end of this thread! So here we go:
These late additions are hexed by midnightwolf !
This absolutely beautiful boy is Rosari! He's got my color scheme...black and dusty with pink eyes!! xD That texture is perfect, since it's got the colors I love blended together in such a neat way! When I first saw this beautiful Bull Terrier, I was super excited to have him! He just had the sweetest face, the best colors possible...and when I realized he had the fun-loving Mutt personality, it was just perfection!! He's a sweet little clown and I am already falling hard for him! I just want to keep on playing with him! He looks fabulous with his pink crown, and I LOVE the picture near the top-middle with his tongue poking out! Ahh! xDD
Felidae, named for what she is...an Alpine Felidae Squirrel...is just absolutely majestic!! Forget the fact that she's a 'squirrel' of any sort for a minute...which, squirrels are my favorite!!...but just LOOK at her!! How could anyone resist such a stunning fantasy creature?? I want one in real life, haha! She's almost like a unicorn and squirrel crossed with a bit of pixie dust sprinkled on top. xDD Her ears and tail are beautiful, and I am WILD about those stripes!! Oh my goodness, they are amazing looking!! And so are her whiskers!! She's just the cutest thing!!
I'm afraid Obie wasn't much more creatively named than Felidae. xD I named Felidae for what she was...and you could say I just rewrote Obie's "name". She was simply dubbed OB...and somehow I liked the sound of it with her, so I turned the spelling into a name! She's a precious little thing I'd wanted for a while, because as always, I was drawn in by the dusty coat and pink eyes! And she's a perfect holiday gift too, considering her markings make it look like she's being snowed on, and it's all collecting in her feet!! xD
And last, but certainly not least...is Hawlucha! This bird is so much cuter than I expected...and also much sadder too. He's a Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō bird, which is apparently extinct...but he doesn't look like you'd expect an extinct bird to look! He looks like the kind of bird you could still find on Hawaii. He reminds me of the Myna birds I used to see there. He's such a beautiful type of bird though, it's heartbreaking to think they went extinct at all. I think MidnightWolf really did a great job of bringing this bird back to life, and I really love this little guy. I named him after the bird Pokemon Hawlucha because his name had been shortened to "Haw" when he got here...and funnily enough, it reminded me of Hawlucha's name! And since Hawlucha is an island bird too, I figured it was perfect. xD
---
But yes! Sorry this took so long to get out! December was a very busy month for me, and I had my hands full most of the time. But I really, really love the gifts I got, and I had so much fun giving out gifts as well! Thank you guys for making this a very fun Petzy holiday!
As always, it's now crazy late for me, so I've gotta wind this up and get some sleep. Thanks for looking!
So this is more for the people who gave to me...to say a major thank you for being super sweet!! I sincerely appreciate this!! ;-; You guys are the best!!

With that, I can safely say...here's what I call my 'Christmas Dalis of 2020'...despite Garland being from the year before:
But wait. Who is Winterstorm? You'll have to stick around! xD She may not be designed to be a Christmas pet, but I'd say between her Christmasy arrival and wintery colors, she counts well enough! xD

You could say this was my gift to myself! I hexed her for myself and kept her...but honestly I created her with the intent to give to others. Whenever I create a hexie or variation of a hexie, I keep one for myself so I don't lose the coding and can copy-paste the specific shape onto another pet and customize it for someone else.

But yes! I gave out Reindeer + Ribboned Fuzzle Catz as gifts, and a few people were curious if I had one of my own. So I decided to show her off! Mine's a Tabby personality, since I noticed I don't actually have a lot of hexed Tabbies! She even does tricks!

I also love how there's a random Pit Bull thrown in the middle here. xD I loooove Pit Bulls, and Denlye's pretty awesome looking! I love her colors, and her scruffy fur, and somehow she reminds me a little bit of a tiger! Echori is also absolutely stunning with his warm, chocolate chip cookie looks! I adore how his orange eyes add to the warm glow he seems to give off!
Funnily enough, Domos and Lluilt stood out to me the most when I first skimmed over this group. I don't even know why! I just thought they were quite pretty, and I'm especially into Lluilt's looks!

I've told people before that I used to adopt mismatched lidded Petz out of sympathy because nobody liked them...but I've actually come to like the look now? I might have been the only person telling people this year that I would -not- be disappointed with a pet with terrible eyelids for a gift. xDD I think Rhad is rad just the way she is! xD And those dark eyes are so cool!! I could go on and on about this entire batch...

Nostalgic also sent me two gifts! One of which is Winterstorm! Okay seriously, can we all just take a minute and appreciate the top-left picture?! HOW. CUTE. IS. THAT?! She looks like she's holding her own feet while she rolls, AND IT'S THE CUTEST PICTURE EVER!! Anyway, I'm naturally raising this pup, and while she's already much older by now than she was when I took these pictures a few weeks ago, she's still not fully grown! She is BEAUTIFUL. I think the pink really looks amazing with her color scheme! It's a little burst of color that makes her eyes really stand out! She's super goofy too, and barely sits still! xD She's another overly energetic Christmas pup who can keep up with the others quite well...but that usually means lots of fights too. x'DD
And Nostalgic also sent me Puzzling! She hexed on a Pikachu file, making it fuzzier, to look more like the Pikachu from Detective Pikachu, and this little guy is my very own little Pikafluff! <3 I'm naturally raising him too...and honestly I can't recall how big they get. xDD He's definitely bigger now, but it's tempting to ask if I can hex him to be a no-grow because who wouldn't want their very own pocket Pikachu?? He was awfully cute as a baby...but I'm curious to see him grow up!
When he was little and moving around a lot, his eyes kept clipping and seemingly disappearing behind the fluff. Honestly, the top-left picture shows a good example of that...and how AWESOME it can look! Does it not look like he's winking?! AHH. xDD He might be a little goofier than Winterstorm. He's always pulling these giant grins and running around with the happiest expression. xD He keeps making me laugh just with that! He's about as energetic as I'd expect from a Pikachu! I love him so much...ooh, I should introduce him to my other Pikachus!!

I actually got two unexpected gifts from Ratqueen this year too! These are some -adorable- little Spotted Wildcat mixies, Kiwih and Papayah! Kiwih apparently has a Desert Lynx face, while Papayah has a Russian Blue face! As kittens, I could barely tell! I thought they were both Russian Blues! But again, they're older in-game now and you can definitely see a difference forming with age! The top-right picture of Papayah has to be one of my favorite pictures ever. LOL
As beautiful as these two are together, they're not exactly fond of each other. But I expected as much, with my usual luck. xD I'm a huge sucker lately for Russian Blue mixies, and I LOVE black with cream OR dusty...and she happened to hit all those weaknesses, plus I got a rather unique looking Russian Blue mix on top of it! I don't have another quite like Papayah, and as I slowly convert my P5 crew to P4 and try to see if I have any other P5 breeds other than the tiny collection currently on my site...I could use a few more of those guys in my crew. And I'm really liking the Desert Lynx faces...so Kiwih is perfect!! I like how she has fewer spots too, making her especially unique...and she even has pretty green eyes! <3
Papayah does tricks...Kiwih does not. xD Both kittens are very energetic and get into everything they can find! They've been an absolute joy to watch grow up!! <3

🌠 Aubrey also sent me some gifts! I don't actually know if they were intended as Christmas gifts...I think some of the Mutts were, but I think she said the others were leftovers she knew I'd like...but they all arrived around the same time, and so I just sort of bundled them all here together, since I wanted to show them all off! <3 Because WOW are they ever pretty!! Fabled and Sweetie Pie might be my favorites...but Enzina, Kaltora and Mixed Chocolates are pretty epic too...
I LOVE Fabled's coat and colors so much! She looks like a stuffed animal, all floppy and snuggly!! Sirem, Kehesi and Teralo all have the "plush toy Mutt" look that I love! Sirem doesn't have the right ears, but they're close enough so I count it! xDD I LOVE Sirem and Kehesi's colors, and the double snout patches on Sirem and Teralo! All three of them look so floppy! Tasoy may look simple, but I'm such a fan of teal eyes, and I think they look nice with white fur! He actually makes me think of peppermints with the white and mint colors!
I LOVE Cururo's simple looks too! She almost looks like a regular Mutt...just with a white muzzle and an adorable teddy bear bobtail!! <3 Ikime is just dreamy with those fairydust/silvery eyes and that matching silver coat!! And I don't know what it is about Enzina...possibly the same exact eye color that I've been LOVING lately...but she's just so striking to me!!
I love how Lokin looks -almost- like a Calico Russian, but his markings are so evenly set on him! He looks like an actual halfie cat! Entirely cream back end (with some black on the legs), perfectly even cream toes and cheeks, and a white chest patch! He's VERY handsome and kind of just like a perfect accident! Most Calico patterned Catz don't have even markings like that! And I LOVE Mixed Chocolate's colors! I named her for exactly what she reminds me of...with the colors and pink eyes, she makes me think of a box of mixed chocolates given on Valentine's Day! <3 I love it so much!!
Mayfield and Riroby look just dreamy with their soft cream coats...Kaltora and Sweetie Pie are ROCKING those textures I love so much!! Kaltora looks so tropical somehow, and Sweetie Pie is named for what she is. xD She's an absolute sweetie pie, is crazy cute and pretty and I just want to snuggle and love her non-stop! I named Sardonyx after Aubrey's site, because I thought the name worked well with this kitty! xD And Iraso's colors...just wow!
Again, I'll go on and on about the whole batch if I don't stop now...xD

Cookiedough sent me a very exciting surprise gift!! An adorable baby penguin with a little green ribbon! She came with the name Tree, and as I didn't have it, I kept it! Plus it's kind of a funny name for one so small. xD Also, she's chasing her tail in the top-left picture...just wanted to point that out! x'DDD Anyway I'm so thrilled over this little penguin, because I feel like I'm the only one who didn't get one! I know a while back (...maybe even a year ago?) she hexed and released a few. And I still remember the one I had my eye on...but I missed my chance. I don't know why I didn't contact her and ask for a trade...Cookiedough, you're always super sweet! I'm sure you would have been willing, had I asked! But I guess I thought I'd wait to see if more were released...it didn't happen...and with time, I just moved on.
But I kept seeing pictures of them, and wishing I'd got one. Well, this was literally the last thing I expected to see turn up in my inbox right after Christmas! She gave no indication of what it might be in the email, and as soon as I turned on the game and saw her, I was all smiles and feeling super giddy! xDD I finally have my own little penguin and I'm thrilled!! She's SO CUTE and the little ribbon is an absolutely precious touch!! I feel so lucky! And I LOVE that she's a hyper Dachshund personality, LOL!!

I was talking to Thor and I can't quite remember how it came up, but we were talking about Mutts and how much I love them, and how people at PKC are apparently hexing unique patterns onto Mutt bases lately...and I was saying how COOL they looked after she showed me some of her own...and well, she took it to heart and sent me Brinn! He's an adorable dusty brindle Mutt pup who I can't get enough of!! He's not fully grown yet, as he's being raised naturally, but I'm in love...and now I want to hex a whole hoard of Mutts to go with him, because this is such a simple idea but I love it to pieces!! More Mutts!!

And so. I ran a very small, 'practice run' Secret Santa with a few people...to see if I could handle an event like this. It actually went really well, and I'm looking forward to trying a bigger scale one next time! (It may not even be a Secret Santa...maybe there'll be a Summer Swap! ^^ ) Everyone showed off their gifts in a different thread...including me, but...I wanted to do bigger graphics of the Petz I got from my not-so-Secret Santa, Kel ! They're all being naturally raised, and while they're bigger now than seen below, they're still not done growing!
Starting with my two Russian Blue girls! Aleutian, being the top of the alphabet of the Petz from Kel, was the first one I laid eyes on...and already I was satisfied. xDD She was so pretty and perfect, I could have began and ended with her! A Calico Russian, with lovely complimenting colors...and one of my favorite eye colors, which even happens to work beautifully with her fur! Just a dream!! She even does tricks! She's a smart little thing!
And Farrow, oh wow! A scruffy little dustbunny of a kitten, complete with an Oshie body! xDD She's the cutest thing to look at, and she has such a busy little personality! She's mostly sassy, despite not really having a Siamese or other type of sassy personality...but she also has her nervous moments at the same time. Making me think she's all talk when she's in one of her moods. xD Her eyes make her overall color scheme look so warm...she's almost comforting just to look at!
These girls are just stunning!! I'm loving the colors on Bricella! I love black Alley Catz, and the extra red gives her a tougher look! Plus the little vampire fangs help with that. xD She just looks like a little teenager, all set to rebel and let everyone know what she thinks of every little thing going on around her. She looks to be a lot of trouble, but like any Alley, she has her sweet side! I actually forget she has an Alley personality sometimes, because she doesn't show her angry eyes all that often. Usually it's the camera snapping that really brings out her inner Alley. xDD
I'm actually surprised Harbor doesn't do any tricks, because I get the impression from her that she's a very smart little girl. She just has such a knowing feel to her...like she's been here before, and already knows how everything works. She isn't worried about much, and is just ready to jump in and do whatever it is we're going to do! I LOVE her colors...dusty and black is my favorite color combo, and she's absolutely styled in those colors! <3
Odessa and Tangier are some seriously cute little Alleys!! Oh my goodness! I LOVE Odessa's colors, Alley spots, multi-colored tail, Alley ears, Oshie body and big paws! She's got this perfect little floppy kitten shape to her that I just don't tire of watching. xD She also doesn't act too especially Alley-like, unless the camera is out making noise. She does do a bit of random crazy Alley things off in her own little world though...but usually she's actually pretty chill and sweet!
And Tangier, oh my goodness! He's a teeny tiny, Oshie bodied/personality'd kitten who...somehow is almost bug-like to me?? In a cute way! And he has those big round teal eyes...so beautiful!! He's ADORABLE, but I feel like I'm going to lose him half the time. xDD He's such a little guy! He reminds me a lot of these guys:
Ebony and Noir, who were also brought up naturally in P3! (If memory is correct, they were brought back from P5!) And I have a feeling he's going to grow to be about the same size as them! xD I'm hoping they'll be friends, but with my luck, probably not!
These two stunning Mutts...oh my goodness, I love them!! Look at Dover's little puppy wiggle in the top-right, ahh!! He has such a beautiful wintery look, he's just dreamy! He's VERY sweet too! He runs and is all over the place, like a typical puppy, but he really wants to include me in everything he does. xD He loves attention, he loves playing, he loves dressup, he loves learning tricks...he just seems to love life! And for someone as gogogo as he is, he also has a mellow side to him. Just as much as he loves to run around, he'll also enjoy some quiet time with some quality attention! <3
And Winterberry...honestly she's driving me nuts. LOL I KEEP THINKING SHE'S A BOY? And she isn't! I don't know what it is, and I keep wondering if she was -ever- a boy or if I'm just crazy. LOL Maybe it's the accessories...she's probably the only female that didn't have a ribbon when she came. xD Anyway...she -might- be my favorite of the bunch. (That is SO hard to decide though xD) She has a POODLE PERSONALITY and with her especially unique, Mutty looks, it's just so unexpected yet epic! I think this means she'll also be a smaller size when she's fully grown! She is INSANELY photogenic, and I'm convinced she's born to be a supermodel in the Petz world. She looks like the kind of pup you'd see in a Petzy fashion magazine!! xD
As far as potential favorites go...one or both of these girls might be more of my top picks! I'm noticing that I really take a liking to scruffy white Mutts with Dali spots...exactly like Liska!! They remind me of a chocolate chip cake. xDD The one kind my mom has made before is like a really light colored cake with chocolate chips, and a fluffy whipped cream topping. That's what she reminds me of, and it makes me happy. xDD She also looks AMAZING in pink, haha! She could also be quite the super model, I think, and she's so full of that fun Mutt personality that I just can't tire of playing with her!!
And Korifah...I don't know how I missed this. Seeing their puppy pictures side by side, it's so obvious! She's going to grow to be smaller in size! <3 In-game it became more obvious as they got older, but I didn't notice at first! I still don't know how big she'll get, but I have my guesses! I love her matching black muzzle, her dazzling green eyes...and weird as it sounds, I also love her eyelids that don't match. LOL I think I had her pinned as my favorite when I first saw everyone, because something about her looks is just impossible to resist! She is also VERY hyper and full of energy!!
Kel definitely took to heart what I said about loving Mutt mixies...because here's more!! <3 I was literally like...well, like a kid on Christmas day...when I saw all the Mutt puppies. Ahh! <3 These are my pretty dusty, Poodley boys!! Aren't they to die for?! They both have Poodle personalities, but Outrigger also trots! LOL I get the impression that both of these boys also want to take up modeling...but they're trying a tad too hard. LOL Compared to Winterberry's almost flawless pictures...these two turn out looking like dorks half the time. x'DDD But I think that makes them more hilarious and endearing, haha!
Also I think they're both going to be a little smaller too! I notice most (if not all?) 'surprise' Poodle personality Dogz seem to be slightly smaller in size. Like Brixen, for example! I don't think they'll get bigger than him...if they do, it won't be by much! Which is fine by me, because they'll stay small and huggable!! <3 Also I'm absolutely in love with Oakledge's eye color with his fur...beautiful!!
And my last three beautiful babies from Kel! They're just so cute, ahh!! Okay, so I'm kind of in love with Jordash!! Another thing I enjoy is Labs with scruffy coats...scruffier than they come from the Adoption Center! Not only does Jordash have exactly the coat I like on labs, but she also has exactly the color combo that drives me nutty! Dusty and black WITH cream!! Her eyes may not be pink to tie it all together, but they ARE an absolutely lovely chocolatey color that I think actually suits her beautifully! I LOVE the one black ear too! She's almost tempting to keep as a no-grow, because lab puppies are ridiculously cute!!
Sweet and stylish little Trestle gave away the fact that the spotty ear Dali OW was accidentally left in-game by Kel during the breeding session. xDD But honestly, it's one of those files I feel like should be in the game by default! It's so natural, it almost makes more sense to use it! And look how cute Trestle came out! I'm very pleased with her! Her deep chocolate eyes are stunning too! I keep meaning to introduce her to Dover...I need to do that. I'm getting a very similar vibe from both of them. "Playful, yet very sweet!" They might just be soulmates!!
And Fife...LOL! In my recent showoff thread, I showed off a hoard of mini Sheepies I kept and was raising naturally! I hardly expected -another- one to show up! And boy is he ever handsome! Fife is almost like a snowman...he's white, round and fluffy and he even has orange coloring, similar to a carrot nose! And he has a Poodle personality!! AND TROTS. He's just so many levels of adorable and perfect, and I just love him so much!! I'm both excited and scared to introduce him to my other mini Sheepies in P3...because that crowd is CHAOS when they're out together. (A lot of hatred...) And I expect he'll make a number of enemies. xDD But how fun would it be for him to make some more mini sheepie pals?!

EDIT: We got some late/new arrivals, and I thought I'd toss them in to the end of this thread! So here we go:
These late additions are hexed by midnightwolf !
This absolutely beautiful boy is Rosari! He's got my color scheme...black and dusty with pink eyes!! xD That texture is perfect, since it's got the colors I love blended together in such a neat way! When I first saw this beautiful Bull Terrier, I was super excited to have him! He just had the sweetest face, the best colors possible...and when I realized he had the fun-loving Mutt personality, it was just perfection!! He's a sweet little clown and I am already falling hard for him! I just want to keep on playing with him! He looks fabulous with his pink crown, and I LOVE the picture near the top-middle with his tongue poking out! Ahh! xDD
Felidae, named for what she is...an Alpine Felidae Squirrel...is just absolutely majestic!! Forget the fact that she's a 'squirrel' of any sort for a minute...which, squirrels are my favorite!!...but just LOOK at her!! How could anyone resist such a stunning fantasy creature?? I want one in real life, haha! She's almost like a unicorn and squirrel crossed with a bit of pixie dust sprinkled on top. xDD Her ears and tail are beautiful, and I am WILD about those stripes!! Oh my goodness, they are amazing looking!! And so are her whiskers!! She's just the cutest thing!!
I'm afraid Obie wasn't much more creatively named than Felidae. xD I named Felidae for what she was...and you could say I just rewrote Obie's "name". She was simply dubbed OB...and somehow I liked the sound of it with her, so I turned the spelling into a name! She's a precious little thing I'd wanted for a while, because as always, I was drawn in by the dusty coat and pink eyes! And she's a perfect holiday gift too, considering her markings make it look like she's being snowed on, and it's all collecting in her feet!! xD
And last, but certainly not least...is Hawlucha! This bird is so much cuter than I expected...and also much sadder too. He's a Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō bird, which is apparently extinct...but he doesn't look like you'd expect an extinct bird to look! He looks like the kind of bird you could still find on Hawaii. He reminds me of the Myna birds I used to see there. He's such a beautiful type of bird though, it's heartbreaking to think they went extinct at all. I think MidnightWolf really did a great job of bringing this bird back to life, and I really love this little guy. I named him after the bird Pokemon Hawlucha because his name had been shortened to "Haw" when he got here...and funnily enough, it reminded me of Hawlucha's name! And since Hawlucha is an island bird too, I figured it was perfect. xD

But yes! Sorry this took so long to get out! December was a very busy month for me, and I had my hands full most of the time. But I really, really love the gifts I got, and I had so much fun giving out gifts as well! Thank you guys for making this a very fun Petzy holiday!
As always, it's now crazy late for me, so I've gotta wind this up and get some sleep. Thanks for looking!
