what year did you start playing tapped out?

I started playing at the end of November 2014 when I got my iPad. My hubby already played the game so I decided to try it too. I have taught him so much about the game, including KEM farming :D I came to the forum looking for info about the Christmas event 2014. I was so confused about what to do and all the different time tasks! I would really love an event like that again though, instead of the usual 4H grinds.
