With Christmas only two weeks away, everyone in Animalia and its colonies began preparing for Animalia's Christmas Celebrations, though not everyone would be celebrating it the same way.

One clear example of this was from Heiya Island. Nate and Shuixing, as well as the rest of the Bowman family, would be heading to Heiya Island for Christmas, and Christmas was going to be celebrated a little differently than it was in the west.

Of course, there are some people who just can't (or don't want to) wait two weeks, whether for one reason or another. Fortunately, the Animalia website had quite a few distractions that were available for all ages and weren't locked behind a Premium barrier. One of which was Lexia's special coverage of New Patagonia, Argentina's Dinotopian colony.

Another was Ao Guang's Winter Weight Watcher's party, though for different reasons, with no two reasons being exactly alike. One, rather hilarious, reason behind this was the simple fact that "body positivity"/fat influencers were either declaring everything hindering them as "prejudice against fat people" or dying of obesity-related health problems before they reach their 40s. Because of this, the first partygoers to receive double-dosed conversions were those who were 400+ pounds overweight (which often resulted from deliberate overfeeding).

Another thing that was holding attention was Miss Juliet's wedding at Notre Dame, if only for the fact that Notre Dame was finally opened after 5 years. However, there was also the case of Miss Juliet's wedding dress, which seemingly consisted of more lace than solid fabric, even by 19th century standards.

With two weeks still to go, Christmas will be arriving, though to some it might come quicker, and to others it might come slower.
