Twas The Night Before Christmas Cottage



‘Tis the Night Before Christmas, so come to the house,
You’ll find more that is stirring here than simply a mouse.

On the main floor you will dine in a cozy cafe,
You’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll just have to stay.

But don’t fret because there are more rooms to explore,
For Santa’s Workshop is just down one more floor.

Building toys all year long with each little elf,
If you stay long enough, you might see him yourself.

And while all the little ones have all drifted to sleep,
You can sneak downstairs, but don’t make a peep!

Grab yourself a seat in the Snowflake Lounge,
Gather with friends and buy them a round!

At the end of the night... heading out into the snow...
You look to see Santa... Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!

    What an adorable and festive cafe. :D Looks like a great place to hang out with the kids upstairs, and hang out with the adults downstairs at the Snowflake Lounge. Rec'd.

    I love the roof in this build - it makes me think of a sleigh! The green and white/gray stone make it feel like a snowy forest without there being snow on the ground.

    Excellent pictures, as well - especially the kid showing Santa his Teddy Bear :)

    Oh yay! My thread came back up to the first page!!! :D:D:D

    Thank you so much everyone! I spent a lot of time over the course of several weeks getting it done. I am really happy with how it turned out and I'm so glad everyone is enjoying it!

    I wanted to add snow to the outside, but I don't use any CC and didn't know if there was another way to do it (I don't have CAW since I use a mac).

    Seeing my thread come back up and people say that they like my house makes me so happy! Thank you!!! :D

    And thank you TnT_Terry for adding me to the forum list when you get the chance! I haven't spent too much time so far in the Creative Corner, but have been having so much fun building lots. I have a very special one that I am working on now that I hopefully can get up by the end of the year!

    Jurik, this is a wonderful place! I can tell you worked long and hard on this and the storyline was just adorable and made it all that much more fun to walk through.

    Your roof line is simply exquisite! Your characters are adorable.

    I'm recommending all because you did a really nice job on everything! :mrgreen:

    Now, I must go and look for that beanie I'm sure I don't have...

    Thank you Reachsims! Do you mean the beanie that Santa was wearing? I can see where I got it if you like. I thought it was just base game.

    I'm sorry you couldn't download gembrett101.. :( I am making a house that won't require Late Night and hope to have it done in the next few weeks. I am really liking how it has turned out so far.

    Lately, I have been only creating with my game. I haven't actually done much gameplay lately except for testing the lots to make sure they work well. I just get so sucked into building!

    Thank you so much! I was so excited to see that I got featured. Just last night I was telling my boyfriend how excited I would be if I was ever featured and today I was! What a great day!

    If you are talking about the beanie that Santa is wearing (not sure though), you should have it. It should be a base game hair I believe. I can check for you when I get into my game.
