Molly’s Family Fun Time
        The day has come. My family is here. All twenty-three of them. My aunt and her new baby are coming in a few days (they’re smart. If it was me, I’d show up on Christmas Eve and leave on Boxing Day). Then it will be twenty-five. Twenty-five relatives. In my house. Non-stop. As I suspected, Robby and Bobby (my twin cousins who are total pains) arrived with plans to make my life miserable. They hadn’t been there for more than ten minutes when they started sticking paper moustaches all over every single picture of me in the house. My little cousin threw up all over my mom’s rug. My aunt said he was still a bit carsick. My grandpa ate the chocolate bar I’d been saving. My grandma told me I’m slouching. My great-aunt pinched my cheek so hard it still hurts. Millie seems to be holding up better than I am. A lot of our relatives brought her little gifts. Did they bring me anything? No, because I’m the oldest. I have to be mature and set the example for everyone else. Sometimes I think it would be amazing to be … Read more
A Present for Uncle Arte
 Hey, it’s Sparky. I got some good news and some bad news today, sorta. The good news is, I finally figured out what I am going to get my Uncle Arte for Christmas. Which is a huge relief, because I’ve really been struggling with it. I mean, what do you get a guy who has traveled the world, had exciting adventures and runs his own shop that sells some of the coolest stuff in Kinzville? Booger suggested a video game, but that’s not really Uncle Arte’s speed. And then Roberta said maybe I should make something, which wasn’t a bad idea, but I wasn’t really sure what I could make that he would want. I guess he must have noticed that I was feeling a bit stressed because he sat me down when I came into the Curio Shop the other day and asked what was bothering me. I know you shouldn’t talk about what gift you’re going to give someone, but I’ve never been able to lie to Uncle Arte so I just came out and told him the truth, that I really wanted to give him the perfect present but I didn’t know what that would be. … Read more
Roberta’s Handmade Holidays: Keychain
        My dad is always losing his keys, so I figured I’d make him a keychain. His favorite colors are red, black and gray (or silver). So this is what I came up with!  What You need: Keychain circle, yarn or string, needle big enough for yarn or string, beads in your recipient’s favorite color, scissors  What you do: Tie a knot at one end of the string. String on several beads. Make an interesting pattern! Tie the other end of the string to the keychain. Make sure it’s securely attached! Snip off any extra string. I made two key chains – one for my dad’s car keys, and one for his house keys!

Golden Gobbler Contest Winners
Congratulations to Riley, Michaela, Kelly, Adriana, and Kristin! They’ve each been sent a Secret Code for an eStore exclusive Golden Gobbler Turkey. We wanted to know how the Golden Gobbler celebrated Thanksgiving this year. Read the winning entries below! On Thanksgiving morning, an excited Gobbles woke up, ready to celebrate the big day the way any Golden Turkey would. First, Gobbles went to the W Shop to buy some salad, potatoes, and of course his favorite cranberry gobbler. He whipped up some sloppy Joes and delectable vegetable soup for when his friends Marcy the groundhog and Fluffles the Blufadoodle came over for dinner. After all, who better to hang out with on Thanksgiving than a Golden Turkey? Soon, Gobbles was setting the table with his nicest Autumn china. They were decorated with delicate golden filigree and orange leaves carved into the middle of the crisp, cream colored plates. Fancy crystal cups were filled with yummy apple cider and silverware was laid out beside each plate. Then Gobbles lit a fire in his fireplace to warm the little dining room. Before he knew it, Marcy and Fluffles were there for dinner! And that’s how every Golden Turkey celebrates Thanksgiving; with friends. … Read more

Salley’s Good News
       Well, if you hadn’t heard yet, let me be the first to tell you: Stoogles and I are BFFs again! He wrote me this really sweet apology letter, and I totally forgave him! We talked for a really long time and decided that after I get back from my dad’s, he and I will have a special pretend-Christmas. We’ll go sledding and decorate a gingerbread house – it’ll be amazing! I’m getting really excited to go and visit my dad. It’s going to be such a good time. I’m going to get to see my aunts and uncles and cousins on that side of the family – and my grandma, too! It’ll be a holiday to remember. And now that Stoogles and I are friends again, nothing will stand in the way of me having a merry Christmas!
Roberta is TIRED!
      This just in: making Christmas presents is exhausting! I’m so tired, friends! What was I thinking? I’ve still got to make gifts for my neighbors, my teacher, Ms. Cowoline and my two boy cousins. What do you make for boy cousins!? I’ve only got 11 days left – 10, really, since I don’t want to be MAKING the gifts on Christmas day! And I still have to wrap everything…which I’ll probably do on Christmas Eve…so that’s, like, 9 days! I can’t believe I did this! Why didn’t I just ask for a loan and buy the gifts like everyone else does!!?
Fluffington’s Bathroom Makeover
         Hi, it’s Elwin. Hailey and I have just finished working on Fluffington’s bathroom and he was not exaggerating when he said he liked gold. I think it’s pretty obvious from his bathroom that color really appeals to him. We realized that it’s important to Fluffington to maintain the grandeur of his rooms so we stuck with the blue and gold combo and just accented it with some new pieces. It is a bathroom after all so we didn’t want to go too wild with the decorations.         We ended up using blue and silver decorations to set off what was already here. The Blue Frost Tree seemed perfect in the corner and the Festive Holiday Wreath uses the same color scheme. The Plush Rug carries the blue accents onto the floor and we replaced the furniture items with some pieces from the Wizard Theme. It’s a subtle transformation but something tells me Fluffington is going to like it.
