Happy Thanksgiving!
If you are celebrating this holiday, I hope you're taking some time to spend the day with your family and reflect on what you're grateful for. No matter where you live, I think appreciation is a universal sentiment.
Come share with us what you're thankful for!
And, of course, we have some small goodies to share with you.
Be sure to swing by the Advent Calendar some time today to take home your very own Thanksgiving Dinner! (I hope you have enough food for all those pets in your lair.)
In honor of the holiday, we are introducing 7 new gourmet food items for you to whip up!
From Blueberry Cobbler to Coq au Vin, we've got a variety of food to suit your tastes!
If you prefer pets to food, however, you might enjoy our 10 latest colorations.
You will find all of the new pets either in the Annoying Item Bazaar, Little Pet Shop of Horrors, or Trash for Treasure.
Make sure to grab these pets by Sunday November 25th at 11:59 p.m.!
In the spirit of being thankful and generous, it's time to announce sign-ups for our Secret Santa event!
Here's how our community-wide Secret Santa will work!
To sign up, simply create a wishlist with things you would be tickled to receive this holiday season. In order to participate, you must have a wishlist created by December 1st--at which point we will be randomly (and secretly!) pairing off users. Once you are signed up, you may edit and update your wishlist as many times as you want, even after December 1st.
After all participants are paired up, you will be able to see your partner's wishlist, but you won't know who your Secret Santa is until Christmas!
For added fun, we have provided a tab that generates 10 random wishlists in case you want to do some random gifting outside of your assigned partner. :)
We might be making some tweaks to this since this is a debuting feature, but we'll see how it goes! :D
(This idea is Slash's doing, so give him some thanks!)

Shelter Hearts
Items
My local shelter (where I got my cat, Patches) called the other day looking for a donation, since the holiday season is always very tough for them! So let's see what we can do for them.
Shelter Hearts (a custom making item for the above pet base) is going to be available for purchase for three days (November 19), and I'll even let you use the item to make one of these retired Valentines Day Reves as a thank you for supporting the place I got Patches. They are $10 each.
Because that's loving!
Shelter Hearts are sold out!
All the Shelter Hearts proceeds will go to the shelter.
You can use the item to make either base with up to 30% edits.
Cheers!
