This is my first TSTO Christmas.That being said, I want everyone to go ice skating...outdoors.A la Charlie Brown Christmas. :P

That's some funny stuff there barry! I'll be making snow angels and definitely not eating the yellow snow.

Lights and decorations will begin to fill the landscape, and holiday buildings will be brought out of inventory as others go into storage. (I store Costington's during the year, for example, as well as Christmas buildings and recently the mall) I will leave the water dripping on very cold nights in my structures that don't have insulated pipes, and open the cabinets to allow heat to enter, especially on exterior walls. I'll be worrying about characters with little clothing (Princess Kashmir, for example) and what effects the cold will have. I, myself, can dial an old style rotary phone with a single nip- ple on certain cold days, even with a sweater.http://interactiveexpedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/How-to-Use-a-Rotary-Phone.jpgThese are just some of the things I'll be doing as the snow starts to appear on local radars. What about you?Ha! Thanks.I was thinking the mages I got may end up looking like their throwing snowballs in the snow if I use my imagination....... Lights are already popping- need the snow, decor will come out out that point. Striped towers - yep!Mr plow and the plow king, Scrooge burns will join.... Anyone with appropriate outdoor activities shall play.Yep, can't wait

Putting lights on every house! It looks AMAZING! :mrgreen:

I know I'll have to spend a little time placing fences to fill the gaps that the trees hid. All the trees will lose their leave when the snow comes

I'll be lowering the brightness level on my devices. :)

When it snows, what are you going to do?

i probaly will do the same thing i always do when the grass is green, and ill take screenshots of areas i like. why do you store your cristmas decorations barryriddl474? expecialy how constagins is more of an all-year-around type building rather than xmas (even thugh relesed on xmas) i NEVER store ANY unique limited-time items, unless abulutly have to (space restictions) in fear my inv will get glitched. my inv has allready glitched before, i lost tons of crap and gained tons of other crap i diddent have.

Lol @ your winter transition Barry! Absolutely hilarious, especially since I have a rotary phone (emergency spare i guess)! Ugh... Gotta erase mental image of the dialing part... Haha
I started around the tail end of Christmas last year and it was all so new to me. I'm overly excited about blanketing the town in Christmas lights and decorations. So far I have a little Santa's village area but I think there will have to be some house demolition to add whatever jolly ol' Saint Nick's season brings.

I think my nerds may stay outside for a bit unless they start turning blue. Then it's hot cider time!

I seriously hope they bring back the Plow King and Mr. Plow skins. Mr. Plow is one of my faves! That name again is Mr. Plow!

Happy tapping all!

To me, holiday decorations should not be displayed year round, as in real life. Also, I don't play the game like many. I don't have any interest in multipliers or similar aspects of the game. You'd probably cringe to see my inventory. Many premium characters and buildings and decorations, but if it's ugly, or not the right time of the year, I store it. Plus, I'm at nearly 7000 items and my town is cumbersome on devices. It keeps it fresh seeing new things out, or things that haven't seen light in a while.
Costington's store is huge and I find myself just sending him on a 24 everyday. Same with the cracker factory. I like Luann, but the building is just too ugly and I'll bring it out when absolutely needed for a task.

I'd rather my town look nice than my star rating be high (it's 4.5 now, but I just can't house farm).

I'll be unhiding all my previous Christmas stuff, hardly anything's stored and most of it is hidden behind various buildings in my SF :lol:

Couldn't resist putting out a couple yellow ribbon lamps that looked good w/the new SuperSmorg, otherwise can't really think on it too much 'til after T-day/Happy Friday... too worried about Homer's anxiety issues, & have to get to the beach to enjoy last couple days of nice heatwave here in Hollyweird 8)

Lol I do the same. Makes certain things more special. Think storing Cosingtons and the mall is excessive however. Looking forward to getting the Christmas tree, elf houses, Santa workshop and grotto out of storage. I also have reindeer and snowmen hidden away.
