Have you been good this year? According to the German tradition of Belsnickel, if you've been good all year -- meaning, you'll get presents -- Belsnickel will put a bell on your headboard while you're sleeping one week before Christmas.
December 18th is one week before Christmas... visit the Belsnickel page every two hours on the 18th to collect bells.
If you collect all seven, you can turn them in on Christmas into the Collections feature for a prize. (:

I keep getting the same ones and now I have to sleep. There is no way I can get 7 by the end of today. ;(

For all the people who got multiples of a bell color, just try to find someone to trade with. There is a thread floating around. :) Thank you for extending it as well! <3

Fun- though I doubt I'll be able to collect the bells (entertaining out-of-country visitors.) I think Belsnickel sounds like a slightly nicer fellow than his predecessor, Krampus!

Pfft, this is actually really fun. x'D Trading bells 'n' such. @u@ Though the holly red, red ribbon green and red ribbon white seem to be the most common by far though all bells are AD. -Wispy

Maybe they will run the bell collection like they are the pumpkin collection. Are, as in it is still there for people to complete. Pumpkins are still being given out as winnings on the games page. People who get them and don't need them often sell them.
