7 days of Christmas!
Santa Paws his holding daily drawings for special items up until Christmas! These drawings will be posted each day both here in Mini Updates/Admin Updates. There is one prize per drawing and it's completely up to chance (haha, no, NOT the companion!) to choose the winner. The rules are simple and they are straightforward, but they are not to be trifled with.
Read the Rules!:
1.) Post ONCE in this thread before Midnight Ala time, on the day the thread is posted in order to be entered into the drawing. (If you post more than once, you may be disqualified from the running)
2.) You may post once per account.
3.) Players found creating more than the 2 allowed accounts to enter these contests will be BANNED from Alacrity; no exceptions. Don't do it -- we hate banning people.
4.) All Alacrity standard rules still apply! If you're not familiar with them, please take some time to do so -- you can find the link at the bottom of every page!
5.) We don't care what your post says, provided you follow the above rules (and it seems that perhaps the post containing the most interesting fact about Christmas may be worth something, too.)
This drawing will be for: A Three Month Upgrade!
The winner will receive a three month upgrade, have three months added to their existing upgrade, or, if they are forever upgraded, will receive an item of comperable value :D

The first Christmas special created for television was "The Spirit of Christmas," which was aired in 1950, but it was filmed in color, despite the fact that only black and white televisions existed at that point!

In 1647, the English parliament passed a law made Christmas illegal. The Puritan leader Oliver Cromwell, who considered feasting and revelry on what was supposed to be a holy day to be immoral, banned the Christmas festivities. The ban was lifted only when Cromwell lost power in 1660.

The origin of candycanes- In a small Indiana town, there was a candymaker who wanted to spread the name of Jesus around the world. He invented the Christmas Candy Cane, incorporating symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy to symbolize the Virgin Birth. The candymaker formed the stick into a “J” to represent the name of Jesus. It can also represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd.” He thought the candy was too plain so he stained it with a red stripe to symbolize the blood shed by Christ on the cross.

Why does a dog bark when someone knocks on the door if you don't have a chimney? <br /> <br /> I dont know either! Maybe they think Santa is there bringing them presents :D<br /> <br /> Why did the sheep cross the road?<br /> <br /> I was tired of being herded!<br /> <br /> I know... not very funny at all... But oh well!
