Xmas Time Of Year

I was super excited to see December creeping up on us because I actually have a real home land on Second Life where I can create a better xmas this year. I went all out and spent about a month searching Marketplace for new xmas decorations. You can't believe how many things are on the Marketplace just for xmas time but they don't have one thing which is the cartoon version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It is like my all-time favorite xmas movie that I have to see every year at least once. The only thing close to it was this sculpted reindeer that has a red nose so I bought it and placed it out in front of my sky house. I was ecstatic when I could finally buy that prim snow at Botanical since I have been eying it since last xmas. It amazes me how much it looks like real life snow but with this snow you don't get cold from it ever. I rezzed a couple of the snowflake making balls to make it look like it really is snowing outside when particles are on. A fireplace was my newest addition to the holiday theme inside of the house but it doesn't look right unless you have animated textures on. The flames flicker where it makes you feel all cozy sitting on this beanbag like chair that I have near it. I hung two stockings around it to make it look all festive. I decided to stay with the xmas tree that I used last year because it brings me such joyous memories of my first xmas on Second Life. I got it from MC Designs for a not too bad price considering how well made it is and it animates. I had to take the animation out of the reindeer since it made it go all distorted whenever it animated which ain't a good thing. I placed two pointsettia plants on the steps from the porch leading to the snowy yard of my sky house. It wouldn't be complete without the twinkling snowy pine tree that I bought from Botanical last year as well. I even made rugs and flags with textures that I designed myself for everyone I know this year. It adds a personal touch to my xmas decor also. My virtual daughter absolutely loves our home looking all festive.
