For those of you who are only now being introduced to the Santas Bag, it's a very, very rare December holiday present item that came about last year. It's the glittering rock of items - you can pull any item you want out of the bag, one use.

December Xaoc Contests!
Contests
It's that time again!
This is the gorgeous Xaoc custom Winter (#5874) won from our September contest (made by Balu #484).
Want a chance at one of your own? Continuing with our trend of giving this month, you have not one, but two opportunities to win a Xaoc and other goodies because we are running two contests instead of one!
Not artistically inclined? Worn out from NaNo or not interested in writing a story? Then you might be intrigued by our fun Holiday Wishlist Contest. Tell us 25 things your Xaoc would want and it could be joining you in your lair!
As a bonus, we are also running a Holiday Spirit Art Contest. This is your more standard pet contest revolving around a theme, so I encourage you to give it some thought and wow us!
You may enter both contests but can only place in one, so you have lots of opportunities for prizes. I hope you guys have fun with this and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Enjoy!

Spay/Neuter Vouchers
Site Update
Obviously, we love pets! I was thinking about something we could sponsor for this holiday season and came across the Friends of Animals Spay/Neuter Program. That's where you can find vets in your area that accept their spay/neuter vouchers, and someone online buys the voucher for you so you don't have to pay for the operation.
Vets these days are expensive, and spay/neuter is no exception. If you have a pet that needs spay/neutering but you're not sure if you can afford it, check out the Friends of Animals site and put your zip code in. Follow the instructions (contact the veterinarian to confirm the veterinarian's participation and ask about any additional charges) then write down the vet's information.
Send me an email ([email protected]) with the vet's information, some information about your pet, and a photo of the pet with "Aywas" somewhere nearby (for example, on a piece of paper next to the pet). I may select you for a free voucher :)
I'm going to pay for about 10-12 free vouchers depending on turn out.
Your purchase of GP goes toward events like this ♥
Keep making people (and pets) smile!

The Aywas staff team has some new members! I want to thank everyone for applying because we had a huge turnout this time around and it means a lot that so many people are interested in helping out the site.

Welcome to December - Part 2
Site Update
I swapped around the entries from the GP and BP threads. You get the highest prize possible (EG: If you submitted for GP and got into the BP Shop, or if you submitted for BP and got into the GP Shop).
I have a couple pets saved from the thread also that I want to use in the forest, so a couple others are in limbo until then. :)
GP Shop Pets!
BP Shop Pets!
Monthly Potion and Premium Item!
The December 2010 potion is hanging out in the BP Shop for 400k, and the monthly premium item is a Basic Stocking. :)
Other Stuff
Trophies have been awarded, after a bit of a chaotic experience last night. XD I don't have much else to say, except what do you think of Yasu's new Nav idea?
Would you prefer a nav like this? If you've noticed we're slowly running out of room in some of our sections (Archives and Shopping for example) so this would fix that problem :)

Welcome to December - Part 1
Site Update
December, December, December!
There's a lot to get through, so the second part for December 1st will happen later today.
Holiday Forest
The Holiday Forest is up and ready for you to discover the tons of new pets available throughout the month!
etc, etc
Here are the items you'll want to collect as trade-in currency after Dec 25.
Christmas Tree!
Give lots and lots of gifts that your friends can't open until the 25th! =D Leave cute notes with them too.
Your friends (and lovely stalkers) can't read your mind so be sure to put some sort of wish list on your profile so they know what you want!
SALES!
Yes, plenty of delicious sales! <33
Get 10% More GP when you make a purchase between now and January 1st!
Perfect to help you buy some more awesome gifts.
Custom Crystal Sale!
Buy 2, Get 1 Free! If you buy two crystals, you can get a third one of equal or lesser value to your lowest priced crystal for free. This also ends on the 1st of January =D
If you want to do this sale, contact me (user #1) with what crystals you're buying and send the GP to me.
Example:
Gold + Gold -- Free Gold
Gold + Blue -- Free Blue
Coal + Gold -- Free Blue
YAAAAAY SALES!
Advent Calender!
Be sure to check the calender every day to get your prize =D
SNOWBALLS!
I sent you one but it's up to you to find more in the Holiday Forest! If you throw one at a friend, it'll tell them they got smacked in the face with a snowball. 8'D
So start a snowball war!
Special Items!
There are a lot of new items in the GP Shop, so let me explain them all to you:
The stocking items rise in price depending on how rare the prize inside is. They cannot be opened until the 25th. The prize is at least equal to the price of the stocking (for example, the Basic Stocking is 5 GP, and the worst you can get is a Delicious Eggnog, also worth 5 GP). The Elaborate Stocking is the only stocking item that might contain a Holiday Breeding Pendant.
These are new breeding items that allow you to breed two different species pets. They do not produce hybrids. For example if you breed a chiro to a meep, you'll get offspring either chiro or meep that are colored like the parents (like a BC baby). You can breed SCCs with these.
This is a special custom creating item that allows you to make the uncommon species, 30% edits, in a Holiday-style theme.
When your pet eats this, it has a 5% chance to find a random custom-creating crystal (no unbreedable and no dawn crystals out of this).
This you can't open until the 25th. It will produce one of a couple Holiday different rare species pets - eg, Lunaris, Vion, hybrids, etc. Collect a bunch to try your hand at the whole set of rares. :) There will be around 5-10 depending on where I put the rares for the currency shop.
Yasu's still working on this one, but it gives you a 10% chance of a random breeding with another pet who uses this item and succeeds also.
This item can only be opened on the 25th. Pretty self explanatory, it opens into a random breeding item. It can produce either BC, Holiday BC, Metal BC, Half LBC, Lesser BC, Evil BC, or Radioactive BC.
This item contains one of each of the December presents: one of each stocking, a Holiday BC, Holiday Coal, one Flame Pudding, one Holiday Aywa Gift, one Eggnog, and one Random BC package. Pretty nice value if you want to get all the items.
A couple of items (Fertility Potion, Raw Gold and Blue crystals) were moved to the BP shop to spend sometime there.
Okay, that's all I got for you tonight. In the afternoon I'll come back with GP and BP shop pets, high scores, premium item, and so forth.
