Revision as of 17:22, 21 December 2010

Decorate your house to create a holiday themed scene. Whether it be from a movie, a song or something you made up entirely. It could be a simple as having NPCs singing carols around a Christmas tree or something more elaborate. Use anything available in the game, whether it be items, pets, monsters you manage to lure in, spell effects, etc. If you don't manage to get it right the first time you can always take another screenshot.
