Welcome back dear Snakes! Now that we are all slowly coming back down from our excitement over the newest Fantastic Beasts movie, it's time to move on to what we HEXians call the HEXmas season! So grab those Santa hats, candy canes, and tinsel and let's deck the halls!
As you've noticed by now (unless you've decided to stay in the cave under the lake, which my only question is "why?"), HEXmas activities are now underway. Be sure to check the Daily Money hourly, as Santa has decided to add more Galleons to it. You may find a time where it is triple what it can normally get to throughout the year! And, of course, the multiplier hour is still available as well. Just think about the amount of books you could be with that! Or Quidditch supplies, whichever floats your candle.
Poinsettias have also returned for the month of December! Similar to the pumpkins that Hagrid grows at Halloween, there are some differences between the two. They come in a wide variety of colors, including the usual reds. And I've even heard that some poinsettia seeds are RE's! So, get those planted and take good care of them to earn Galleons for them.
And don't forget to head on over to the Tree Farm to get your very own Christmas tree! These wonderful and beautifully decorated trees are located on your User Info Page once you decide on a particular tree. Your Hogfriends, or anyone who wishes to, can send you gifts that go under your tree. Honestly, the only downside is you have to wait until December 25th to open these presents. But maybe that's just me being impatient? More then likely.
And besides the wonderful events that the Site Staff is putting on ... Have you noticed that Salazar Claus and some House Elves set out to bring Slytherin some fun and festive activities? If you haven't, then you should go and check out Here Comes Salazar Claus to see all the awesome things you can participate in. And, knowing Salazar Claus, there is bound to be some wickedly cool items that he's giving out to some Snakes!
As that one line from a Muggle song goes: "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" So go and enjoy all that HEXmas has to offer! And I hope that the New Year (Merlin, we're already going into 2019!?) brings you all blessings of good health, wealth, and happiness!
Merry HEXmas and Happy New Year everyone!
