Race for the Bells!  An ALL NEW Xmas Expo Contest!!
Starting at the Xmas Expo, racers must find hidden Silver Bells in 25 locations across the grid!
This is a TIMED RACE. Once the 100L entry fee has been paid, the
time has started! A leaderboard at the Xmas Expo Sim will display the names of those with the fastest times.  The race will run throughout the ENTIRE TWO WEEKS of the Expo, with 10,000L on the line for first place!

Breedables One-Of-A-Kind Auction - One of a kind breedables, generously donated by participating breedable companies, will be auctioned off by The Breeders' Borough's own Cortez Brandriss on December 15th!

Christmas Expo 2012's design is generously provided by Harlequin Fhang. Harley's talent, long appreciated by and featured prominently at the Breeders' Borough, has also earned her resounding praise for the unique, spooky build at the 2012 Fright Night Expo.  We are grateful now as she brings that original, creative style to Christmas Expo. Harley's holiday builds will provide phenomenal photo ops for those memory-making photos!
