It's that time of year again, Alacrites! There's a chill in the air, lights strewn on trees, stores decorated from ceiling to floor in Christmasy galore!

But the spirit of this swiftly approaching holiday is all about giving. Whether it's a warm hug to someone who really needs it, that special gift your best friend or loved one has been pining for all year, or just a kind word to a passing stranger, take the opportunity this year just to give to others.
Of course, we'll make sure you can do so here, too! Gift Giving is up and running, with some of our favorite holiday items from the past. But don't worry, there will be new items to find as well, as soon as the Backyard Dig game and point shop are ready. So keep an eye out for those, and in the meantime spread some holiday cheer! You can give 5 gifts and open 1 per day! After the 25th, you can open them all!



As you all know, the art team has been working hard to get things ready for the Great Dane, so there won't be a bundle item this month. No matter what, Great Danes will get a holiday release, but our goal is to have everything updated for them before that date. There are tons of items on Alacrity, and all must be updated for new breeds, so it's a huge undertaking for us all. But even if we don't quite get it all in time, we very soon will after Great Danes join the ranks of our other fabulous breeds!

Thank you all so much for continuing to support Alacrity, and we hope you have a wonderful holiday! And don't forget to warm your bones with a nice hot cocoa!

Hi All!
We've been a little behind due to the holidays, but we will be holding the trivia night in an hour at 4pm Alacrity time today.
The theme will be Famous Dogs and it will be hosted by our Site Artists in Chat B. All are welcome to join in on this fun party, even if you're not great on guessing, everyone can get at least one prize and we spend a lot of time chatting!

Happy Thanksgiving Alacrity!

Today is a day of generosity and being grateful for the things we have, spreading a spirit of positivity, love, and family.
So, I'd like to take a moment to express how thankful we are for all of you, both those who have been with us since the beginning, and for our new arrivals just coming in to the Alacrity family. It hasn't been an easy road, and there's still so much work to be done. But you've hung in there with us, through thick and thin, and continued to support us in our endeavors. Without your support, and the generosity of our site owner who pays out of pocket to keep us going, there would be no Alacrity.
A free item will be added to the news page later tonight or early tomorrow, a gift from us to you! And for our upgraded users, keep an eye out for the upgrade item that will finally be implemented asap!
Reply with what YOU are thankful for today! Family, friends, anything!
Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. Great Danes are nearly done! The art team is working hard to get all the site's items updated for the new breed, and we're looking at a December holiday release date! :D For your viewing pleasure, a sneak peek!

I LOVE how the Great Danes look! I will definitely be adopting at least 2 breeding pairs. Great job!!!

I believe there will be a crop ear option so you may choose that or have a dane with natural ears =)
