7 days of Christmas!
Santa Paws his holding daily drawings for special items up until Christmas! These drawings will be posted each day both here in Mini Updates/Admin Updates. There is one prize per drawing and it's completely up to chance (haha, no, NOT the companion!) to choose the winner. The rules are simple and they are straightforward, but they are not to be trifled with.
Read the Rules!:
1.) Post ONCE in this thread before Midnight Ala time, on the day the thread is posted in order to be entered into the drawing. (If you post more than once, you may be disqualified from the running)
2.) You may post once per account.
3.) Players found creating more than the 2 allowed accounts to enter these contests will be BANNED from Alacrity; no exceptions. Don't do it -- we hate banning people.
4.) All Alacrity standard rules still apply! If you're not familiar with them, please take some time to do so -- you can find the link at the bottom of every page!
5.) We don't care what your post says, provided you follow the above rules (and it seems that perhaps the post containing the most interesting fact about Christmas may be worth something, too.)
This drawing will be for: A Three Month Upgrade!
The winner will receive a three month upgrade, have three months added to their existing upgrade, or, if they are forever upgraded, will receive an item of comperable value :D

•Forego throwing out your Christmas tree and make it lunch. The Evergreen is actually edible, well most parts of it anyway. In addition, it is nutrient enriched, so if you take the advice stated previously you'd be getting a good source of Vitamin C and roughage. Don't mind that you will be eating a tree; it's just one step away from any other vegetable.<br /> <br />

Lights- The many bright lights found hanging on trees and homes around Christmas time means something different for each person who hangs them. For one individual they are simply colorful and joyful -- something to brighten up the norm of everyday life in a season of festivities and togetherness. To another, the lights carry spiritual meaning. One such spiritual meaning -- purity surrounds the many white lights found on most Christian homes and buildings. The white light stands for the purity of Christ and the heart that lives for Him. (All credits to http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/christmas-facts.htm)

I was waiting to preform at a concert for charity when the jazz band before us gave some history. <br /> <br /> So he "fa-la-la" refrains from Deck the Halls were probably originally played on the harp. <br /> <br /> I don't know how true he was, ^^

I don't know if anyone posted about it yet, but I always liked that "mistletoe" in it's original form means "poop on a stick". Have fun kissing under it :)

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house<br /> The only creature stirring, was a dog named clouse.<br /> The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<br /> Until my dog noticed, and made his way there.<br /> <br /> The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br /> Completly oblivious as to what went through clouse's head.<br /> He crept closer his tail starting to tap,<br /> While I just settled down for a long winter’s nap.<br /> <br /> When there was a loud thump and things started to shatter,<br /> I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br /> Away to the stairs I flew like a flash,<br /> I stopped at the top to hear one more crash.<br /> <br /> The moon from the window illuminating the show,<br /> Of my dog clouse tangled in a bow.<br /> When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br /> Decorations and glass, strewn far and near.<br /> <br /> With one little last tug, so lively and quick,<br /> The last statue to fall, was old St Nick.<br /> More rapid than eagles did glass start to rain,<br /> Did I yell out, and call him by name!<br /> <br /> The poem was too long, so this is just going to be the first half :P

Some fun Dog quotes "I wonder if other dogs think poodles<br /> are members of a weird religious cult."<br /> -- Rita Rudner. "There is no psychiatrist in the world<br /> like a puppy licking your face."<br /> -- Ben Williams "The great thing about a dog is that you can make a fool of yourself in front of him and not only will he not scold you, but he will frequently make a fool of himself, too." - Unknown "A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance,<br /> and to turn around three times before lying down."<br /> -- Robert Benchley

Electric Christmas lights were first used in 1854. (Which the fire department was very happy about.)
