Ok I give.....I can't find it I've looked 5 times and still can't find it. Ok even after just looking on pg 1, I only find the regular pictures, so I'm lost.
Your Holiday: (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Other) This is actually a story... So, as a child, we celebrated Christmas. I still remember when I was about 4 or 5, pretending to be asleep until my mother and step father had gone to bed, and then sneaking out to see the presents ahead of time. When I was 7 years old, I basically informed my parents that I wasn't going to celebrate Christmas anymore (why is an even longer story, so I'll leave that out for now..). This continued until I was 30, when various friends had decided that since I wouldn't accept Christmas gifts, they'd just get me gifts anyways, not call them Christmas Gifts, and not give them to me -on- Christmas.
At this point, I didn't have any family to celebrate the holiday with (at least not any who were willing to celebrate it). I finally really celebrated my first Christmas about three years ago, with someone I was dating at the time. I went to visit their family with them, and it was really nice. I was excited about maybe starting a new tradition. Then, that guy I was dating broke up with me about four months later, because an injury I had was causing me a lot of depression and he couldn't handle me being depressed so much. So, since then, I've kind of gone back to not bothering, and just gifting people whenever, especially since I haven't had an income for the last 3 years.
This year though, I will finally have a little bit of $$ for the holidays, so I really want to try to at least get gifts for my close friends. (And maybe a few family members, without telling them it's for Christmas.) In that spirit, I want to help celebrate here as well.
Content owned: All EP's, except Ambitions (for now... I will get it eventually!) For SP's only Master Suite and High End Loft Stuff (though I may be getting more as gifts from friends in the holiday season). I own most of the store. I do not have Roaring Heights or Barnacle Bay yet, or the Last Venue of Amore. The rest are all individual items that are in my wishlist.
What you like: Everything. LOL Mainly I like variety. I'm especially fond of some of the victorian style clothing. I really -really- wish EA had made some more accessories and such for pets! Ah, and it's possible I'm a little bit obsessed with the color blue. Also dragons. Once I realized Dragon Valley existed, I HAD to have it. I'm also a pattern addict... but I'm not sure that applies. Let's see, what else do I like... the atypical, the elegant, butterflies, flower patterns, gardens, running around tombs in world adventures, and collecting things.
What you don't: Not especially fond of the fashions that come with Into the Future. That's a wonky future, EA. I can be picky about my colors and patterns. Bright colors need to blend well, or they look like they clash to me. Too much white makes me wince because I'm a bit light-sensitive. (Speaking of which... turns down the brightness on her screen... forum white background, ugh!) I prefer understated and elegant rather than bold or gaudy. Can't think of anything else really. I'm enjoying most things so far.
Anything you want to add: I'm planning to spend all points I earn from now through the end of December on gifting or sponsoring prizes. Because I can. I'm looking forward to it. ^-^ Let the fun begin! Happy Holidays to all!
Edited later: I thought I'd add a little bit more about likes and dislikes, to be helpful. Colors I like: Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Brown, Black, Grey. Colors I'm not fond of, but appreciate when used well as accent colors: Pink, Yellow. I love fall colors, and winter colors. Spring colors... ehhh... Summer colors are okay, but sometimes feel too bright for me. I'm not huge on loving contrast, lol.
I also love wood, of all shades and colors. Most of my RL furniture is wood also.
Oh, and something I realized recently... looking at the houses that I've built... apparently I'm bad at building walls. LOL. All my houses have very few actual 'rooms' and more just big open spaces divided by furniture. I'm not sure I prefer it this way. I think I'm just not very good at planning where walls should go.
I would like to enter on the Advent Calendar for package number 14, 9, 15, 12 and 21.
I nominate @DominicLaurence for always posting awefunny things in my wall from our country. I don't know if he plays Sims 3, if he don't I'll choose someone else.
Hey @HausOfSuper, thanks for remembering me!! (Sorry about all that time, I was almost on a parallel dimension during my trip lol) Unfortunately I uninstalled The Sims 3 recently when I upgraded my pc
Your Holiday: Christmas! For a long time, Christmas was a sad time for me, my parents told my brother and me that they were divorcing, the day after Christmas, 1982. For years it was a miserable time, then my husband and I started dating (1991), and he LOVED Christmas. Now, with our three boys, we have a lot of traditions built up, and we love this time of year!
Content owned: I own all the worlds, most of the EP's, with the exception of Showtime and High End Loft.
What you like: I like old fashioned, most of my builds are from the 50's or older.
What you don't: Probably my least favorite are the future things.
Anything you want to add: I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!!!
@LadyEmillye Sorry for taking so long to respond. Been pretty busy lately trying to get things in order at home. Well it seems I was able to get the armchair, so if you don't mind I'm going to change the item. It will be the 'Le Cirque Esprit- Muscles Mascardo and his Band of Misfits Wall Poster' and costs 50sp.
Great collective going on here. I dropped in because Terry told me about your contest and asked if I would help.
Silly goose. Of course I will help. I still have points left from before TS4 was released. Let's get it on.
This will be Sweet Tee's last ride through the forum.
Oh I love seeing all your Sims having fun in the snow! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get one in for this week, but especially @ApparentlyAwesome her Scooby enjoying the snow made me want to
You just have them build enough snowmen to unlock the grim one. There all sorts of interesting ones.
Welcome @ErnesaT! We've missed you. I hope life has been keeping you happily busy. A bazooka! Oh my. We are surely going to see some awesome crazy gifting going on in here.
I just want to see some sims, families, and community lots start popping up. And then, of course the gift sharing and the letters to Santa and the advent calendar! We are going to be crazy busy in here.
Yay for more letters and pictures. I am loving all the snow fun and getting to know you all a bit better.
I am heading off to bed here shortly and got a big week ahead of me at work, so the new week for All I Want for Christmas is up and it is the Deck the Halls! Picture

I was wondering the exact same thing. I've never seen that before! Maybe because she built it in the graveyard?
