I still love Christmas corn. So cool we all still do something together as a group. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Agree about doing something as a group.

It's neat that Christmas corn has become part of our Christmas tradition.

I shall plant corn on the morning of the 26th.

Also, if you want Christmas Corn...don't forget to also send Brandine on her 90d task to birth another Spuckler.

So, you can have both Christmas Corn, and a Christmas (C)id.

I will do this as well. I have one Spuckler left to go. Christmas corn and Christmas born.

Slightly off topic but since we're talking about Brandine here I figured I'd ask the question I've been wondering about since I got her, does her "birth another Spuckler" task qualify to be rushed for free when it's over 90% complete (i.e. with 9 days remaining)?

No it doesn't. Two hours is the max rush time no matter how long the task is.

And beware of accidentally sending witch Marge to speed up your crops.

Good advice.

Good luck to anyone who plants Christmas corn and then gets Witch Marge during the upcoming THOH.

So is there something special about "Christmas Corn" or is it just something fun to do? I always forget to pay attention and harvest my corn without noticing for a few days.

It's just a group activity that forum members enjoy and it helps countdown to Christmas.

So anyone care to tell the story of Christmas corn. Why not halloween corn. That would make more sense. Corn stalks are used for halloween decorations.

It's called Christmas corn because that's when it's ready to tap, on Christmas day.
Does anyone remember who started this tradition?

Oh I see what you are saying now. Why don't we plant 90 days before Halloween? Yeah that does make more sense. Maybe next year we can do both. Id course we have to rush with donuts to get the Christmas corn then. I like the Christmas corn because I love Christmas till new years. It's my favorite time of the year.

It might have been @NeoSEC28 back in 2013.

why don't we plant corn in may like real farmers we could still get Christmas corn in as well. I haven't grown anything at Cletus farm in a very long time . Wasn't this game supposed to be like Farmville back in the day? I've hear stories of some original players who have 2 Cletus farms. Can you confirm @KrustyBrand

Yes, it was a glitch (iirc) dating back to the early days of the game.
