Time seemed to be behaving in a very odd way this year. First it seemed to be racing toward the end of the year, now it seemed to be slowing down, though that could partially be explained due to Christmas coming up. Because of this, there were a lot of people rushing around doing their Christmas shopping, whether for their loved ones, their Secret Santas, or otherwise. Other than that, as people try to get their ideal gift, with some trying to fight off rival shoppers for the same gift, there wasn't too much going on so far.

What was holding the most attention was Ao Guang Island's Winter Weight Watcher's Party, mainly because it was one of the few shows from Japan that was livestreamed on the Animalia Website, though you had to be up pretty late at night in order to watch it due to the time differences. But to some people, that didn't matter due to the large number of hot girls and hot guys, and for others, this was a good time to watch Japanese television without actually being in Japan.

One amusing thing that was going on was the number of people stocking up on sexy lingerie at Miss Vivian's boutique. While service wasn't being denied outright to some people (such as Layla's friends), everyone was getting a free mesh stocking of genuine anthracite coal with their purchases, much to the laughter of onlookers.
