Yes, we do. I found it back in Valentines discussion - here

Happy Holidays!

I have this happen with every single game, no matter what. And I even did a test with no other tabs open whatsoever and it still expired. I can't grow up my plants like this.

I just sent a whole bunch I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Sorry, I think my wording was a little confusing. What I meant was that a specific breed of holiday dragon will always be the same gender - Yulebucks, Winter Magi and Wrapping-Wings are male, Snow Angels, Ribbon Dancers and Solstics are female, and they will always be like that. However, there's a pattern to what gender the new release each year will be. Christmas dragons have a pattern of two of one gender, then two of other [Yulebuck (male) -> Snow Angel (female) -> Ribbon Dancer (female) -> Winter Magi (male) -> Wrapping-wing (male) -> Solstice (female)], according to this, this year's dragon will be female.
So yeah, that's what I meant. You can't have female Yulebucks or male Solstices, ever.

Anyone want a nicely lineaged Wrapping-wing? I caught two siblings, but I don't need both of them.

Claim my eggs/hatchlings!

No, I never open the minigames in a different tab. I do always have multiple tabs open, but they're all different sites and so far it's never been a problem. I didn't do anything differently than I've always done.

Whenever I finish a game, it tells me "this link has expired". And I'm definitely not taking too long with them. The last game I played, the pipes one, I solved in about five seconds, but still got that message. Other games took longer, but still less than two minutes. These links seem to be expiring faster than is humanly possible to play.

What Mia said. All holiday dragons (other than Hollies) have a set gender, which changes every other year (so whatever we'll get this year will be female). Same thing with Valentine dragons, except they change gender every year.

Oh, it's so pretty. Kinda looks like it might be related to the Valentine Hearts.

Last chance to sign up for the Secret Santa. Or Secret New Year Gifting, I suppose. I will assign santas and santees once I wake up tomorrow.

So far the wishlists are very sensible, so don't worry about not being able to fulfill them, even if you haven't played for very long. Also, for making wishlists, you don't have wreck your brains to fill out all three spots if you don't want/need to, just say that you like certain breeds or lineages and that'll work too.

Thanks Bajka! The only one I had was super messy.

Looks like people aren't breeding Hollies any more. I had my eggs finally hatch and have been hunting in the AP, but I've only seen one (which I missed).

A little reminder - sign-ups for DC Secret Santa will close in 24 hours.

As explained above, this will not interfere with your holiday eggs hunt as it'll happen on New Years Eve instead.

I have occasionally had plants that never get snails, but it's pretty rare occurrence. And it has nothing to do with watering or time - all the other plants in the greenhouse would get snails, just this one particular one won't.

I though it would begin a little later today. Not that I'm complaining. The game this year is pretty interesting.

And one thing I forgot to ask for earlier - could someone please breed me a Solstice from Heartseeker? I'll need it in a few months.

Did you just make a typo or did something get lost in translation when chrismas migrated to China?
Sorry, but I've been giggling for five minutes straight.

And if you have materials, you could make a small craftwork tree.

Have Secret Santas ever been completely secret? All the ones i've participated in have had the Santa reveal themselves when they hand over the present.

Here in Estonia, Christmas is the biggest family holiday, so it's celebrated by having a large part of the family gather together for a feast. When I was a kid that was often in our place, but these days we go to my grandparents'.

One tradition we have is that in December, before Christmas, children will put their slipper on the windowsill every night and Santa's elves will then put candy or fruit in them. Me and my sister actually had special stockings for it that we hung up on the window. (fun fact: the first letter I ever wrote was to the elves, on behalf of my sister to tell them she wanted chocolate)

Another thing is, we actually meet Santa. He would arrive sometime in the middle of the feast and greet us with the traditional question of "Are there any good children in this house?". Then we would perform to him to get our presents. Of course, it's not a real Santa, but a guy in costume and my family stopped getting one after a while because all the children grew old enough to figure it out. These days we just put all the gifts under the tree.

Okay, this Secret santa will only happen if someone takes charge. Might as well be me.

So, this is how it'll work:
1. To sign up, send me a message with a small wishlist of three eggs
2. Sign-ups will close on sunday, GMT-time
3. On monday, I will have random.org pair everyone up and send you your giftee's wishlist
4. On 31st/1st we'll send our gifts

Some notes I'd like to add:
Please keep in mind that there won't be time for any elaborate breeding, so you'll likely have better luck asking for 2nd gens or something generic like "Shimmer with clean lineage" than specific patterns. Similarily, catching CBs is a matter of luck, especially for the rare breeds.
The Santas only need to gift one egg. I'm not stopping anyone from giving all three if they can. I'm just saying that if there's something in the wishlist you can't breed/capture, don't feel bad.
The deadline for sign-ups is pretty early, I know, but someone might want a holiday dragon and last year they stopped breeding on 28th, so you'll need to prepare one in advance.
If you can't send your gift on the right day, let me know so I can assure your giftee that they've not been forgotten and will just get their gift later.

Ok, that got wordy, but I hope it'll work.
