The Tale of Modmas
By: Sin Fang

Soft snowflakes fell onto the cozy homes of Gaia even on the laughing and cheering Gaians. December has come, the time of joy and happiness. Many set up forums, threads, and gifts for this month. Others decorated their homes, profiles, and even their avis to celebrate sharing the joy as they went.

The shop owners fixed themselves up along with their new stores even some getting hopes up for the future like Devin getting up his nerve to get close to Lance. Yet other owners getting the snowy weather items out for the masses like Liam and Flynn. Still there are others that Gaians wish to know more about, hear their tale so to say like Louie. While Ruby and her son Peyo go to the zoo enjoying themselves with many other gaians win a trip to the zoo that they wish they could explore in the towns and a few wondering what festive winter items or souvenirs they will bring back when they come back to the shop.

Saving up their gold by twos and by threes Gaians counted every last friend as they shop for the right gift for the Holidays yet to come. Some even going out and helping those with Quest Threads of little list or massive lists and even still more grow with guilds that help for this month. Yes, for the month of giving; of joy. So much joy that even Gaia itself could feel it every year with giving gifts as they do the Christmas Event. Though change the items just a bit each item giving the spark to the thrill of guessing what these items may be. Could they be little reindeers? Or maybe a little Santa doll? Maybe perhaps this year they will give out something really special, something unique, and something unexpected… Who is to say?

The Gaians held tightly onto their Kikis, Cocos, and even Gwees as they waited for the day of the Christmas Event full of gifts, marking the days as they go by. They did not know what was to come. No one did, not even a mouse. As they went to bed they spent like any normal day counting on their pinkies and toes to till the day of their respective Holiday. Awakening to the sunlight of December 3rd.

Suddenly announcement arose on December third alerting all to the thread that had started on November 30th: Modmas. In droves they came! By 100s, by 1000s, flooding the pages as they desperately tried to get even the smallest of prizes while a few tried actually tried to make conversion within this madness.

Days passed and the craze of prizes slipped from sight leaving those who truly know what Modmas is really about…

It is note the prize or the hype of a thread. It is the kindness of the mods and the joy of speaking with them. Though the contests and the delight of playing them is always a happy bonus.

MARRY MODMAS EVERYONE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
