Hi, Gaians! We've got a quick video update to share with you-- in order to keep the Gaia community in the know, we've decided to do monthly video updates (starring yours truly) that let you know exactly what we've been up to lately and what's in store for the coming month.

Of course, there's something in it for you: we'll be hosting a contest and giving away 100,000 Gold to a lucky winner.

I love the Reindeer Slippers because they keep your feet warm and great to wear on Christmas morning!

[Seinithil]

My favorite holiday themed item are the Halloween cupcakes from Buttercup Cafe. I've always been a sucker for cupcakes. heart

[HououMinamino]

My favorite holiday-themed item would be the Dev Ornaments! heart They are so unique, and remind me of all the fun ornaments on my own Christmas tree.

[demory]

It's really weird hearing a person pronounce "Gaia Online" right. My friends pronounce it like this. "WTF is Gay-uh online?"

[itty bitty north kitty]

sounds interesting ^w^

[pinkbuddy36]

My fav holiday themed item is the 2k10 scarf, because I love the colors and it's just really pretty smile

[Chromefox]

I think my favourite holiday item is the zombie labcoat. I don't have one anymore, because I gave all of the ones I earned to other people who wanted them more than I at the time, but I remember being so proud of that thing, just because the event was such a struggle to complete.

[siriustoast]

DJ Helsing, I'm strangely into you. Haaay.

[Maelstream]

REally really like the new peppermint hairclip~
I love the new design, and it's doesn't stick out too much~
I also feel like I can really eat it!

[Solypsis]

I think my favorite winter themed item would be the Hoarded Snack Cakes because they reminded both me and my brother of one of our favorite movies- Zombieland.

LET IT SNOW



The Xmas 2k12 Festive Poinsettia Coat has been my favorite so far because it reminds me of Christmas at home. The red and green plant we have all over my house every year is called a Pascua here (Poinsettia in English), and my mother loves it.
