Greetings and Salutations Antiquity

Its Christmas already, and we prepare for another season filled with jolly people and spiced up pirates, my favorite time of the year.

The Antiquity Christmas Tree is up in the Capitol Rotunda, ready for it to be filled with presents. Residents, Friends and Visitors are invited to participate in this great holiday tradition. Everyone gets to enjoy from the generosity and hearts of the wonderful residents and friends of Antiquity.

As the tradition goes, Instead of drawing names to exchange gifts, residents, friends, who ever would like to participate, builds, orders or buys a gift, to add to the gift giver (ornament or gift box). The Ornament (gift giver) should be hung on the tree, or the gift box (gift giver) should be placed under the tree. The gift giver should give a copy of the gift to who ever touches it. This way, instead of getting a couple gifts for christmas, all can get multiple gifts.

It is the season of love, hope and peace, giving and helping our fellow man, it is not so much the gift that means something, but the thought and love behind it that counts.

If you would like to participate, go to tree, when you land, on either side is an ornament or gift box, that will give you the notecard with the gift givers. All are empty except for the script to give away all contents in a folder to who ever touches it. You may modify the ornaments or gift box. Choose one to fill, place around the tree, and you help make someones christmas all that brighter.

Please, as I was reminded as a child, and now have to remind my mother, NO PEEKING. We will be hosting Antiquity Honors, and after the ceremony, we will attack the tree, then settle down for some dancing and unwraping. The gifts may be placed anytime, a lm is enclosed for christmas tree.

Ho Ho Ho...!!!

Jacon

A lot of us claimed our gifts after Honours on the 22nd, but a few more have appeared since then. Keep checking back through the holidays, everyone!
