December Activities Around Neopia


by ramotswe

--------

Everybody has their own December traditions. Whether you decorate the tree with your family or spend time while having fun baking. Maybe you prefer to spend the day in the snow or perhaps ring in the New Year with some close friends. Here are ten pets that you can relate to, no matter how you do it!

     Advent Accessories

     

     Items Used: Winter Onesie, Evergreen Holiday Scarf, Golden Key Necklace, Dyeworks Purple: Side Swept Blond Wig, Fuzzy Slippers, Cheery Holiday Bow Wings, Holiday Stage and Steps, Gift Costume, Handheld Stocking, Advent Calendar Background, and Stocking Garland.

     The start of the month means the start of many Advent Calendars! What better way to show your love for the advent and the gifts that come with it than dressing up as a giant present! The Gift Costume and Cheery Holiday Bow Wings make your pet a gorgeous gift but you don’t want them to be cold underneath it all. Add the Winter Onesie, Fuzzy Slippers, and Evergreen Holiday Scarf to keep them warm. Now for the scenery - The Advent Calendar Background, of course, paired with the Holiday Stage and Steps make sure your pet is centered correctly. Add in the Stocking Garland and a Handheld Stocking to complete the setup. Pick a wig to go with your pet, like the Dyeworks Purple: Side Swept Blond Wig (maybe the Golden Key Necklace to get rid of their fur) and you’ve got a festive pet that will make anyone giddy to open gifts!

     Incredible Ice Skating

     

     Items Used: Blue Snowflake Skirt, Winter Frost Sweater, Dyeworks Grey: Extra Plaid Scarf, Vandagyre Cap and Wig, Twinkle Toe Skating Shoes, Ski Gloves, Peaceful Tree Garland, Ice Skating Bruce Toy, Winter Wonderland Sunset Background, and Bottled Winter Faerie Magic.

     A great way to spend a December day is skating away on the ice! Whether you go to an ice skating rink or a nearby frozen lake (make sure it’s well frozen before stepping out!) put the Twinkle Toe Skating Shoes on your pet and let them work on their moves! The Winter Wonderland Sunset Background is beautiful and the Peaceful Tree Garland accents the colours nicely. Use your Ice Skating Bruce Toy for some company and Bottled Winter Faerie Magic for a bit of mystical perfection. If your pet is going to be in the cold long you’ll want to make sure to layer them up. But you still gotta look cute, right? The Winter Frost Sweater with the Dyeworks Grey: Extra Plaid Scarf on top makes sure your pet is snuggled safely. Use the Blue Snowflake Skirt for the added flair when you’re spinning around. Vandagyre Cap and Wig and Ski Gloves keep them warm for a day you won’t forget!

     Shop Til You Drop

     

     Items Used: Dyeworks Blue: Wintery White Hood, Prissy Miss Snowflake Dress, Dyeworks Blue: Wonderland Gloves, Fur-Trimmed Boots, Winter Wonderland Alley Background, The Holidays are this Way, Sparkling Branches Garland, and Holiday Shopping Bags.

     Your parents, your friends, your cousins, your aunts… so many people to buy gifts for! To really get into the spirit of the season, walking down a Winter Wonderland Alley Background with Sparkling Branches Garland, you see a sign “The Holidays are this Way.” Your pet has on their Prissy Miss Snowflake Dress, Fur-Trimmed Boots, Dyeworks Blue: Wintery White Hood, and matching Dyeworks Blue: Wonderland Gloves. Of course, you’re going to have multiple Holiday Shopping Bags after running store to store to find the perfect gifts for everyone in your life. Maybe you went a little overboard, but hey, it is the season of giving!

     Ski Ramp Retreat

     

     Items Used: Ski Trousers and Boots, Ski Jacket With Hood, Basic Purple Gloves, Midnight Blue Infinity Scarf, Snow Lift Garland, Blue Tribal Skis, Sparkling Winter Wings, Ski Jump Background, Yooyu Glasses, Fluttering Snowflakes Shower, and Steaming Mug of Hot Borovan.

     Maybe you want a little getaway and head up the mountains a bit to do some skiing. Your pet will be the talk of the town with their sleek look in their brand new Ski Trousers and Boots, Ski Jacket With Hood, and Blue Tribal Skis. Make sure they have their Sparkling Winter Wings to give them extra air off the Ski Jump Background. Your trusty Midnight Blue Infinity Scarf and, of course, Yooyu Glasses. Not only do the glasses make your pet look super cool, but they have the essential benefit of keeping the sun from bouncing off the snow into their eyes. You want your pet to be able to see where they’re going when they’re rocketing down that slope with a Fluttering Snowflakes Shower flailing around them. After hitching a ride back up with the Snow Lift Garland you can treat your pet to a Steaming Mug of Hot Borovan. Just make sure you’re not holding up others who want to ski!

Using a coveted Snowboarder Sweater and Black Winter Wear as the base clothing, make sure to add Ski Gloves, White Winter Boots and a comfy scarf, like the Midnight Blue Infinity Scarf. Make sure to add a Fancy Snowboarding Helmet because safety comes first! A pet can’t snowboard without a board, so adding the Colourful Snowboard set up in the snow is a great touch. To make your pet even more magical, add the MME4-S6: Magical Winter Wand and Frozen Leaves Shower to give off the effect that your pet’s making the ice. This look is guaranteed to turn heads, whether you’re racing down the mountain or standing around and giving charming smiles.

Add the Valiant Champion Coat to the mix as it’s the armour of a champion. And someone who stays warm while dealing with lots of snow. The Snowball Fight Background is the perfect setup for your pet, put up a shield of throwable snowballs with the Snowball Guard Foreground. The Snowball Fight Shower will show that there is indeed a war going on and even though your pet is hunkered down underneath the Snowy Lights Garland, they’re not safe. If you have your pet carry their Squeezable Polarchuck Plushie it will give off a sense of innocence. Maybe people won’t target you if you’ve just come out to play with your plushie.

Make sure you have their safety Baby Valentine Blankie and the Valentine Baby Dummy so they’re content to look at the White Winter Wonderland Background as the scenery goes by. The Rustic Snowy Lamp Post shows that no, you’re not out in the middle of nowhere with your baby pet, and yes they’re bundled up with their Baby Pet Winter Outfit, Baby Holiday Scarf, Baby Winter Hat, and Baby Knitted Mittens. Add the Baby Rosy Cheeks because it is a bit chilly out, it’s even snowing as indicated by the Snow Shower that you add on top.

Make sure they have their Birthday Party Horn, New Years Hat of Happiness, and Drink of Celebration. If it’s a party you want to look your best. Make your pet appear as the dashing gentleman he is using Heart Dotted Blazer and Shirt, Striped Neovian Trousers, some nice shoes like the Elegant Altador Cup Dress Shoes, and Super Sparkly New Years Bow Tie. Match the gold of the room with Dyeworks Gold: Holiday Light Contacts and this new year will already be one for your pet to remember!
