Dear Podkinz, I’m so excited for Christmas!!! My favorite tradition of all is deking our house on Christmas Eve. Every moment of that day is spent together, we just really enjoy that time. My Granny and my mom make those delicious cakes witch are impossible to taste or touch, until Christmas sure. My dad puts up jolly lights and me and my sister decorate The Magic Christmas Tree with all kinds of colorful ornaments, tinsels and little shiny lights , it’s so fun that nobody of us is tired at the end. Until we’re going to bed, all of us come near fireplace to hear The Christmas Story and sing carols. I don’t think in our family would be any Christmas without this story, it just brings us together more and more every time !!! I don’t think that someone is too old to enjoy this story, it makes us understand what it’s Christmas about… Sharing some time and some smileys with our families once a year isn’t that hard, or you can just make someone happy giving a present from your heart. I have too on Webkinz World some special traditions. Every Christmas I sent lots of cards to my friends because they are my family too. Then I put my pets in beds waiting for tomorrow day when they’ll get their Santa Present. All about this Holiday looks so special to me and I hope all people enjoy this time of the year because it’s too beautiful to be missed.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! :)
I got NO THANKSGIVING BASKET !!! :(

Hello Podkinz, I love, love LOVE Christmas!! I love looking at all the different lights and decorations around town and I love decorating my own house inside and out. On Christmas Eve, everyone in my family gets to open one present and we leave the outside lights on all night. I always loved that especially when I was little because I knew Santa would see our house because the Christmas lights were on! I don’t really want much for Christmas but one thing that’s definitely on my list is WEBKINZ!! :)
Hey podkinz! I love listing to your podcasts! My favorite Christmas tradition is having a nice big breakfast after opening my presents and going to church and spending time with my family talking about Christmas memories and what we liked about our presents. And of course, I also like to go on WebKinz and see what awesome Christmas activities there are to do.
Oh yes, I can’t wait for the Candy Cane Collection! I just saw the items in the Kinz Newspaper on WW. =D Awesome! I love that piano, I can’t wait to see what Christmas song it plays.
Yep. Awesome. No. Pure AWESOME!
Omg i am very exited for the santakinz plush! I sure took a while for that to happen :D
I meant to make what I said above a little longer. I meant to include a little more, but I hurried up and typed it instead. Here’s what I wanted to say: ” Hey podkinz! I love listening to your podcast! One of my favorite Christmas traditions is having a big breakfast Christmas morning. We get up every Christmas, open the gifts at my house, and then go to Church. After church, we go to my grandma’s house. Before we open up the gifts there, we eat a really nice breakfast. My grandma makes all sorts of delicious things for us! I love Christmas dinner, but there’s something about eating breakfast that I like even more. We all talk with each other at the table about favorite Christmas memories and what gifts we think we might get. After breakfast is done, we open up the rest of the gifts and spend the rest of the day with my family. Of course I also go on Webkinz for a little bit, too. However, my grandma moved out of state two years ago, so now Christmas is a little different. We either visit her for Christmas or she comes to visit us for Christmas. I still wish it was like it used to be, but I’m just glad that our Christmas is still somewhat similar to what it used to be.
TaffyKitty12, I’m glad you elaborated. That is a beautiful tradition! It’s so hard to change things when people move out of state. We always have a special breakfast on holidays, too. Today it’s butter braids, which we have every Thanksgiving. On Christmas Day, we have Swedish Kringle. My great grandparents were from Sweden, and this recipe has been handed down. It’s a pastry, and very involved, lots of steps, takes lots of time to make, so we don’t have it often, but always for Christmas morning! We also recite the Christmas story from Luke 2 before we open our gifts. Our parents never told us about Santa Claus, so that doesn’t even enter into the holiday at all. In fact, all of my brothers, myself, and my little sister have all gotten in trouble before for telling kids the truth about Santa! XD
That’s so sweet, Taffy! My family all meets at my grandmother’s house for a big meal in the afternoon. We have tons of delicious food though! It is nice rot talk and chat it up with my nieces and nephews at our kids table. Haha, I’m stating to gel a bit old for the kids table though.. =P
Hi, PodKinz! One of our favorite Christmas traditions would be telling the true story of Christmas, and having a stocking hunt! We hide each other’s stockings, and then we help whoever’s looking find theirs! It’s lots of fun!! Now what I want for Christmas is the regular Arctic Fox. What are your family traditions? =)
That stocking hunt sounds so cool, FoxesRule612! We always open one present the night before, the rest of them Christmas morning (After we recite the Nativity story in Luke 2), then have our stockings Christmas night. That way, it’s spread out a little bit more. :) Then we have everyone come to our house for the big meal. I love the smells, the fun, the laughter, the family and friends, even the snow! It’s my favorite time of year!
Hi, this is strangely off topic… but I’m trying to place a suggestion on the Forum asking you all out there at the Webkinz HQ about the Lil’Kinz, and the question that I want to ask is: Is Ganz going to make any more of the Lil’Kinz? I mean you guys were making them for a while than all of a sudden they just… stopped. What happened?
I dont think they are anymore…I enjoy making lil kinz though! *Yes I make lil kinz if I have supplies

Dear podkinz, I can’t wait for Christmas! My baby brother’s birthday is on Christmas Eve. So, we have lots of fun the day before Christmas! At night my sister gather in my room and we play a game we call “Guess the Webkinz”. The youngest of us puts a blindfold on and tries to guess the Webkinz that is in her hand if she doesn’t she gets a clue. Is she doesn’t get it in the next 3 turns she loses. I Really want a Signature Fox for Christmas! Have a merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Sounds like fun! =] I have a signature fox, she is sooo cute!! =3 I hope you get one, I know you’d love it.
Thanks Emie!
Awesome! I have one too!!!! She’s my favorite Webkinz! <3
Christmas kids as they get older sometimes feel cheated having a birthday close to Christmas . As your brother gets older he can CELEBRATE HIS “Merry Happy Unbirthday ” in June on the 24th !!! My fathers birthday was Dec 26 and his parents went through a depression times so they gave him a June 26th Merry Happy Unbirthday !! Life is fun when we are little but it gets harder when we get older. A June birthday lets hin enjoy a summer birthday party outside also ;).
Really!? Right now he loves having his birthday the day before Christmas…cause when he was born he almost died.
Tails! You can’t just tell us that little bit about your brother, almost dying! I know it’s a busy day today, but please, I would love to hear more about your Christmas miracle!
Yeah sure can I tell you when I get to my grandma’s house!?
