MeriKlaus walked among the decorated trees standing before her. Everyone that had entered had done such a wonderful job decorating their tree, even if some of them were... less than traditional. She was glad she wasn't the one having to select a winner, she might have needed until next Mistmas to decide!

"Attention dear Misticans! The results are in from the Poll Booth, and I'd now like to announce our winners for this year's Mistmas Tree Decorating Competition. Gather around now so you can hear."

"We actually had a two-way tie for second place. Our first runner up had a very simple Mistmas tree design. If it had snowed too hard, you might not have been able to find it. The other runner up's tree had a bit more lights and ornaments, sticking to cooler colors over something vibrant. Some of the ornaments were carefully placed around the base of the tree as well, a creative decision! Congratulations to Ran and Nine9! May your families grow this Mistmas day with this Pet Slot Coin."

"Our first-place winner's tree appeared wrapped in the air of Mistmas. I believe it could glow through even the darkest of nights to remind you that Mistmas is warm and inviting. Let's give a big cheer for Smokefall! Here's a WinterGreen Pandoria Box, so one of your pets can become a Mistmas Tree themselves."

MeriKlaus waited for the crowd to settle down before continuing. "I have one last prize to hand out. All of these trees garnered attention before the polling began, helping us to keep our Mistmas Spirit high. I'd like to reward the one that seemed to draw the *most attention; thank you Lantern for your... haunted tree. You will be getting a Merry Mistmas Envelope."

And with that, the competition came to a close. The trees remained standing so onlookers could continue to be inspired by them. Sparks of ideas for next year's trees were already beginning to bloom. After all, it's never too soon to start planning for Mistmas!

- - - - -

All rewards will be sent out shortly, thank you to everyone who participated!

*The Thanked Posts winner excludes the first and second place winners.

The streets were empty,
but not out of despair.
For all were inside,
tucked by the fire with care.

"Santa came! Santa came!"
They yelled with glee.
For presents they found,
Under their trees.

The cookies were nibbled;
The carrots were gone.
And by some miracle,
It was all done before dawn.

So open your presents,
And spend the day in good cheer.
Keep up those smiles,
and you'll see Santa next year!

- - - - - -

The staff here would like to thank every member of our community. It's been a bit rough these past couple months, but we're only looking forward from here. May you all have a MERRY MISTMAS. And yes, you can open your presents now.

~Mistic Team.

Mistmas spirit was thick in the air around Mistica. Misticans everywhere were making last preparations for Mistmas morning: buying and wrapping presents, picking out a good meal, and tossing snowballs just over each other's heads (or right in the face for some!). It seemed one place was lacking when it came to holiday cheer however.

  

Charitee glanced out the window of her office in the Pound. She needed something special for her temporary family as, hopefully, those that called the Pound home would be adopted out in time for Mistmas morning. By now Aurelius would have visited and played with the little ones, but his light was surprisingly absent thus far.

"What do I tell them if he doesn't show up this year?" She began to panic. Would they think the star abandoned them too? She simply wouldn't let them think that. "There's got to be something I can do for them to cheer them up for Mistmas."

Unbeknownst to Charitee, many of her charges waited outside her office, listening in on her conversation with herself. "We don't need anything special to be happy, we've got Miss Charitee to watch over us." said one little Nokwi. The others gave a nod in agreement and quietly whispered to each other. "We should show her how much we love her for taking care of us. Let's go build a snowman of her!"

They rushed outside before the light of day escaped them and began working. One rolled out a snowball large enough for a head, another for the body, and so on. It wasn't long before Jinglebell, the little Nokwi, was sent in to bring Charitee outside. "We worked really hard to make something for you, Miss Charitee! Just you wait to see it!"

And see it she did. While the snow-Charitee wasn't life-sized, her charges had certainly tried to make it so. It rose up to just under her shoulders. "It's... it's beautiful." She sniffled, barely containing tears of joy. "How creative you guys! And... And you did this for me?"

"Of course, Miss Charitee! You work so hard to take care of everyone here. We're already happy with what we've got."

Charitee scooped her little ones into the largest of hugs, and just as the last ray of light dipped below the horizon, the sky filled with marvelous colors. Aurelius's Comet had begun its trek across the sky, bringing with it 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the Pound Pets as it lit up the sky.

Jinglebell was glad to see Miss Charitee so happy. Her friends, her family, were all gathered around watching the lights from the comet. The comet didn't just paint the snow-Charitee in bands of light, it painted all of them.

- - - - -

Keep an eye out on those pets from the Pound! It seems the light from Aurelius's comet is slowly changing their appearances!

"Hello fellow Misticans! This is Lyra reporting from Mistican News Channel 3." The Ahbruis gave a big grin. "It seems everyone's been getting into the Mistmas spirit lately, but there still hasn't been a single sighting of Aurelius's Comet passing overhead yet. We're not sure what's keeping the star away so long this year, but a few speculations have arisen as to why he's yet to visit."

  

"Some Misticans are saying that it might be too cold for him to make an appearance. Others claim that since Boreal isn't trying to ruin Mistmas, Aurelius just hasn't needed to come down. Bud the Bum swears Aurelius is taking a vacation this year. Whatever the reason may be, we hope to see the star's light before Mistmas."

"Before I sign off, let's keep some of that Mistmas spirit going. The studio reported that they caught these people online this morning:

Wonderland, Dragonfly, Sugarfairy, Tora, Empire, and Psychosis

And these people online right now:

Sunflower, Cleopatra, Empire, LilacRose, Ilovestuffi, Madoni, Jzbelle, LuciaChan, Beer, Nekoran, Mandalay, lichen, Sleep, and Flygon.

I'll be sending you all presents in just a moment, so don't open them until Mistmas! With that, Lyra, Mistican News Channel 3, signing off."

~Lyra

These lucky users were caught online at 6:33pm mistic time and had visible wishlists! MeriClaus has granted them a random item from their wishlist, so make sure to go check your inventory to see the gift she left!

Heather_, Caicha, Gummiebear, Sunflower, Lantern, Nine9, Raichurules, Breeze, Empire, Snowwall, meggy124124, lichen, Hook, Hollow_Eve, Shadowhearts, Lady_Malefic

Be sure to keep those wishlists visible and you could be next! :)

 

If you haven't read the previous news post about the Mistmas Tree decorating competition, make sure you do so! Have a lovely night, Misticans~

Blizzard's Realm was abuzz with activity; many rushed about to toss up final touches for decorations and lights while others bustled around from shop to shop searching for last minute gifts. Snow fell gently outside, the blizzards that the realm was known for seeming to have fallen slightly more quiet this time of year. It was all beginning to feel more like Mistmas. 

King Blithe moved through the hustle and bustle with a warm smile and kind eyes. He'd never seen Mistmas time be quite so peaceful before, and it was nice to not have to worry about some impending catastrophy with Boreal or anyone else. Misticans the world round were able to simply enjoy their holidays and revel in the merriment that was made. His citizens moved aside as he made his entrance, the center plaza of Blizzard's Realm clearly being done up in its holiday best for something big. The underground caves glowed with the warmth of holiday lights and jingled lightly with carols. The king's inarbu guards helped to clear the crowds aside as his people began to gather around him, all eagerly awaiting to see what he had in store. 

A boom echoed through the caverns beneath the tundra, the sound of hoofbeats clicking sharply against the stone underfoot. A herd of shyre entered with extravagant flare, their manes braided neatly with holiday ribbon and their tack much more festive than the usual attire. Sleds behind them held piles and piles of Mistmas Trees of all varieties as well as huge bags of decorations from MeriKlaus's shop. The mericai herself walked confidently amongst the middle of the happy equines, her smile contageous as she looked up to Blithe with a nod. The crowd around them began to murmur in excitement and many younger children pointed up at MeriClaus with wonder in their eyes.

"Attention everyone! We have an important announcement to make." Blithe called out, his deep voice rumbling through the crowd and forcing them to fall silent.

"Hello everyone!" she called out happily, gesturing toward the trees that the inarbu guards began to set up all throughout the caverns. "With Mistmas right around the corner, I thought that it might be fun to have a friendly competition to see who can decorate the best Mistmas tree! We have so many decorations and lights at our disposal that it would be a real shame to waste them. The winners will get something wonderful, and everyone who participates will get something as well! No one will leave empty handed, so have fun!" 

With that, the crowd immediately began to close in on the supplies and the mistmas trees that were available, talk of who would win and what kind of prizes awaited them spreading like wildfire. Blithe and MeriKlaus just gave one another a passing, amused glance. Oh, how these misticans enjoyed the holidays!

* * *

It's time to get your best tinsle and oranaments out Mistica, because MeriKlaus is holding a competition to see who can decorate the nicest Mistmas Tree! Head on over to Mistic Chat to find the competition thread and read up on all the rules and see what this event is all about!

~Mistic Team.

All was quiet in the Diamond Glacier Domain with the frozen tundra's queen abnormally inactive this year. It wasn't so much that Boreal had given up in her fight so much as it was that it didn't feel right this year. All of Mistica seemed to be quieter than usual; in fact, everyone appeared to be waiting with anticipation for the next year to roll around and bring fresh starts and new opportunities. It left a melancholy feel in the air that even the icy queen didn't care for, and for once she found herself longing for that obnoxious comet to make his way back around and shower everyone in his cheerful glow. 

She sat on her throne with a pursed frown, her pallid gaze tracing over her small army of kohals. They toiled away pointlessly, doing her bidding without question and never had much to say about it. How boring. She turned with a flick of her hair and retreated into her quarters, leaving them to do what they would. Her dreary mood was contageous, it seemed, as many watched with forlorn eyes as the only master they ever knew left them in silence once again. Somehow, their coal-colored bodies seemed to grow darker. 

One kohal turned and headed toward the exit, tearing herself away from her somber friends and moving outside to stare up at the stars above. She wandered a small distance away, snow blowing gently around her, until she came to a stop at the top of a small hill. She plopped down a little less-than-gracefully, her short snout pointed upwards as her eyes took in the vast expanse of stars that were visible to her all the way out here; the galaxy really was something to behold, and the aurora that curled its way across the sky nearly took her breath away. If only she could bring that light to her friends, if only she could inspire them to move beyond the icy castle walls that they'd known their whole life. 

Kohals typically were kicked out every year by Boreal, but the truth was that they could probably escape if they ever wanted to. They were just weak-willed creatures and were easily startled, their icy queen intimidating enough to smash any ideas of escape or rebellion before they began. 

She sighed, her breath freezing in the air before her. She watched the little cloud as it drifted down the hill, perking up a little when she noticed a shimmer of color beneath the snowy peaks. She stood and used a stony paw to brush the snow away from this odd bit of color, her eyes widening as she took in the beauty of a toadstool quite unlike any she'd seen before...normally toadstools couldn't survive this far north.

She returned to her friends in a flurry of color and a buzz of energy. The drab kohals gasped at her appearance, a mix of shock and awe spreading through the crowd as she stood before them and offered them an escape. Hope that they hadn't had before.

"Come with me!" she called, the group not hard to persuade now that she had a presence almost as beautiful as Aurelius himself. "The best gift this Mistmas will be a new and loving home. We deserve more than these icy walls." she called out, running through the crowd and getting the entire bunch excited about the prospects of what the rest of the world could look like. Was there more than snow and glaciers? Was it always cold? What did non-arctic pets look like? It wasn't long before the castle was abuzz with activity and shorter still before the kohal were leaving the castle in waves, following their newest star. 

Boreal, hearing the commotion, peaked around the corner and smirked; there was an odd satisfaction in her eyes as she watched her creations make their way out. My how they'd grown since she first created them. She turned away and closed the door behind her, leaving them once more, to their own choices. 

* * *

The kohal are now available for creation! They will be free to create on the create-a-pet page for the rest of the month, so go adopt your own little stone friend today!

~Mistic Team.

The shoppers were greeted with a "welcome" sign as they eagerly waited for the Toy Factory doors to open. Another advertisement below it announced that MeriKlaus herself would be visiting the store for children to get their photos taken and have a chance to sit on her lap for the next three weeks before Mistmas.

One little girl named Amy was here with her mother and her brother for the sole purpose of getting a chance to sit on MeriKlaus' lap. She had never had a chance to sit on her lap, and this would be the first year she got to do so.

"You realize that it's not really going to be MeriKlaus, right?" her brother taunted her. "It's probably just going to be Tara in a MeriKlaus suit. Maybe she'll even just hire one of her cousins to play the part or something."

"Nuh-uh! It's going to be the real MeriKlaus!" Amy complained. "And she'll have real poofs with her and everything!"

"Or she'll just have misticpals in poof cosumes," her brother taunted with a sneer.

"Hush!" their mother scolded him. "You're upsetting your sister!"

Finally, the door began to open and everyone waited with baited breath to be allowed inside. It was an annual tradition for many Misticans to visit the Toy Factory on the first day of December to see how the store had been decorated for the season. The excitement was second only to that of a small child waiting to open their gifts on Mistmas morning.

Tara herself appeared in the doorway, her hooves jingling with the silver and gold jingle bell socks that she wore to compliment her festive ugly Mistmas sweater and a wintergreen hat as she opened the doors.

"Welcome everyone! I humbly welcome you to the Toy Factory!" Tara announced before she opened the doors wider, allowing the curious public to enter the store.

Amy looked at her as they walked by and realized that she definitely wasn't playing the part of MeriKlaus. How could she if she was here greeting people as they entered the store?

She, along with many children (and children at heart) smiled with glee at the bright red and green banner that read "Welcome!" in the entryway.

There was a pyramid display of zisscor super soaker boxes lining a wall and racks full of colorful puppets. There were electronic toys walking about the store, greeting people and informing them of where they could find and purchase one of their very own. Colorful lights were lined wall to wall and across the ceiling, all culminating in the center where they met a very festive tree.

    

It was the center of the store that most excited the children as they saw none other than MeriKlaus herself sitting in a chair; a few poof helpers gathered around her with some gift wrapped boxes at the ready for all who would come to see her.

Children ran to the center of the store and formed a line while adults shopped around them. Amy ran the fastest to be the first one there and heard her brother snickering at her as he went to check out a display of plastic trikes.

Suddenly her elation turned to sorrow as she looked upon the Mistmas mericai herself. Was she an imposter? She tried to look closely at the poofs, looking for any zippers or fabric caught in velcro. Anything that might indicate that they were not actually poofs but misticpals in disguise.

A particularly plump looking poof hoisted her (somehow with no arms) up onto MeriKlaus' lap. She noticed that the poof's fluff felt rather real, but she didn't know if that really meant anything. Maybe the poofs were real but rented?

"And what would you like for Mistmas?" MeriKlaus asked her with a smile.

Amy looked at her a moment before giving the answer that she had rehearsed many times before. "I want a doll," she replied, "like the one that I used to have but lost."

MeriKlaus smiled at her response. "I think I can arrange something like that," she nodded. Amy got her picture taken with the popular holiday mascot and was about to get down when she heard a poof chirp at her. "Amy, don't forget your gift!" MeriKlaus reminded her before she could leave.

"Thank you!" she replied as she accepted it from a poof that was covered in flowers and rejoined her mother.

"What did MeriKlaus get you?" her mother asked.

The little girl unwrapped her gift and gasped by what she found. It was her doll. Not one like it, but the exact same one. She could tell by the small smudges of dirt on the doll's dress from all of the love she'd given it. Then she remembered that MeriKlaus had called her by name. Amy had never told her her name.

She was the real MeriKlaus after all!

The Weekly Raffle has come to a close, and we are very happy to announce the latest super lucky Misticans!!

~Mistic Team.

Logging on and getting your free daily gift from the Advent Calendar is a big part of Mistmas, and the staff is very aware of this. While we haven't been able to get the calendar itself to work, we do still want to grant you those free gifts.

As such, Advent this year will be hosted through the Giveaway. It will update each morning with new goodies for you to grab. Today's advent reward has already been sent out, so remember to check the Giveaway starting tomorrow!

Strap yourselves in; we've got a lot to cover in this news post. To kick off the month, the icy Queen Boreal has kicked out some more oddly colored Kohal from her service. Using a Crystallized Toadstool will now turn your Kohal into its December form!

- - - - -

The credit shop has been updated to include a selection of more festive items to get you in that Mistmas spirit! There's quite a few in there, so go check it out soon!

Vending items have also gotten more cheery! Do you see anything you have to have this month?

- - - - -

You may be noticing a few new Random Events poping up around the site. It seems some people are getting a bit too into the Mistmas spirit; hopefully you won't be pelted with some snowballs...

- - - - -

If you haven't started your list to MeriKlaus yet, I would start writing it now. A board has opened up in the Mistic Chat forum for Gift Giving, so be sure that your wishlists are up to date! You can send presents to your fellow Misticans through the Gift Sending Station (as MeriKlaus didn't get a shipment of wrapping paper in this year). Click the bundle of letters below for a quick link. Unlike when MeriKlaus wraps them, these gifts CAN be opened before the 25th. Try to avoid the temptation to do so and save them for Christmas Day!

- - - - -

The staff team is currently trying to troubleshoot the Advent Calendar; the presents have been entered into the system, but the Calendar doesn't seem to want to gift them. We will find a way to get you your presents, it just might not be in the traditional Mistmas style. We will update this post once we find a fix or come up with an alternative. Thank you for your patience with us as we try to roll things out.

So, while MeriKlaus might not be giving out gifts, she is still offering ornaments to decorate your tree with! I'd start decorating, that is, if you didn't start in November... Click the image below to be taken to her shop.

- - - - -

The staff team has more events planned for this holiday season, so stay tuned in to the news for more updates throughout the month!
