Advent calendar
Some of you have asked, and I'm happy to confirm that the Advent Calendar is making its return, starting now until Christmas! Twixxi has prepared a new rotation of daily gifts plus new bonus rewards for you to gather.
For those not familiar with it, the concept is simple: go there, get a gift, and you can do so every day starting today up until (and including) Christmas! The rotation happens every day at around midnight, Eastern time.
The Loyalty Baubles from last year also make their return! Every day that you visit the calendar, you'll get your gift alongside a token. You can then trade these at the hut nearby. Two new items have been added to the collection for a wider variety of rewards. Will you go for duplicates of last year's items, the new goodies, or a mix between the two? That's up to you!
If you had any Loyalty Baubles left from last year, they are still accepted.
If you miss out on some items, every week, the Grinch will be there to cover you - for a price. However, the Grinch pledges loyalty to no one, and there will be no catching up on the extra rewards!
This is located in Central's Seasonal Park. From Grand Central Station, in the basement, use the Residential Line until you're next to the snowy park. Alternatively, walk West from the station, passing in front of the Community Centre then following that path to the North.

Christmas cards
You like them, they're back!
Visit the giant mailbox right next to the advent calendar, submit your mail address, and get a signed Christmas card in the mail from me, later this month! I'm sending these worldwide. There is a limited quantity available, and it's first come, first serve, so don't forget to do this early to secure yours!
If you can't get in-game, you can also use this special page on the forums to submit your address.

New challenge: ANARCHY!
Anarchy is the name of the game this month in Kenorland! Survival against others is key, build defenses, trust no one! PvP and raiding are enabled and allowed.
Looking for specific targets to reach?
- Kill a player: They're out to get you, better take the initiative!
- Reach level 30: Make sure you survive against the elements and others.
- Place a bucket of lava: Either as a defensive measure, or against someone else...
- Craft an enderchest: Can your valuables be truly safe anywhere else?
Each goal successfully completed will net you 5 Merit Points at the end of the month, for a potential of 20 points.
Unlike UHC, you won't get kicked off if you die, so you can resume your operations right away.
The four directional railways are protected, the rest is the lawless land you must fight in. Good luck!
Science
At the Hunter's Lodge: Ho Ho Ho! Sandy Claws is back with Krampus and the E.L.F.s! Who summoned them here you may ask? None other than the God of Syrup! Head on over and help save Christmas!
New Horsemen Quests have also been posted, so get gathering on items if you're looking for Horsemen Points.
Reminder: If you're interested in becoming a Horsemen Acolyte, you need to submit an application every month to gather your tokens! To do so, visit the Horsemen island at the Creeper Citadel.
Guilds
Now updated with new goals in all four main survival worlds!
As a reminder, suggestion boxes have been added to each guild room for Masters, in Gondwana. Place your own suggestions for future targets using an item, block or named piece of paper with your proposal. Maybe this would help you in an ongoing project, but there are no guarantees your wish will be granted, or in which world it will apply!
One special note: when a task requires you, say, to mine iron ore, you must specifically mine that - deepslate iron ore will not do!
If you need details on the new rotation, the wiki page about the Monthly Challenges is updated as soon as each of these is ready at the beginning of the month!
