New Blog, new updates. There are more updates that are included in the game including a map view of smallworlds, in game alerts, and featured loyalty missions where you get tokens for finishing a featured mission 4 days in a row. Seems like there are plenty of changes. I noticed the helpers and moderators also have changes. The helpers have a first aid cross above their head and the mods have a M above their heads. The Christmas decorations look neat, and this time you can buy the lights.
Heres the blog and a link to the actual entry

Its Christmas at SmallWorlds!
December 15th, 2008 - Hilary Jackson
Weve kept you all waiting
and were sorry its all a little later than we had planned. Suffice to say that it has been an extra busy time for us here at SW HQ with the 1.0 Release and all that this has entailed for us - phew!
Next year we promise well be more organised, and well have those Christmas decorations out to you in October, just like in the shops
So, come now and join with your SmallWorlds friends for some yummy Christmas feasting, and spend time together around the yuletide tree!
Wrapped Gifts!
Weve introducing the ability to send wrapped gifts to your friends - and
you can even choose the date upon which the gift can be opened. When the recipient clicks the wrapped gift, it will simply say who it is from, and when they can open it! Any item from your inventory can be gifted (you will be asked at time of gifting if you would like it to be wrapped). This will be a standard SmallWorlds feature from now on, but we felt that Christmas was the perfect time to introduce it!
Wouldnt life be worth the living, wouldnt dreams be coming true
If we kept the Christmas spirit, All the whole year through?

Its snowing in Woodlands Park time for a snowball fight!
Snowball fight anyone? Check out the Snowball Shooter - available now in the Happy Xmas store! Grab one and give your friends a truly cool surprise! Pictured below are a few SW players we found having fun in gorgeous snow-covered Woodlands Park. A great place to run around in a Snow Fox suit!
Love is whats in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. ~Bobby (7 yrs old)

From all of us here at SmallWorlds, wed like to take this opportunity to wish you, your family and all of your loved ones a very happy Christmas.

The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
