Cartoon of the Day: Why Doesn't Santa Use a GPS?

 

 

 For who-knows how long, Santa's magical way of getting around the world on Christmas has seemingly unchanged. But one can think of one other reason he would rely on magic instead of modern technology.

Cynthia Farshore's Santa Sleigh Ride

 

As the days to Christmas wind down, it's time for the Newser to take a look at what's been going on in the community where the main office makes it's home: The Sunweavers. Cynthia Farshore set up a Santa's sleigh ride that takes one around the many sims of the estates. There was a lot of ground to cover.

Announcement: New Ride at Santa's North Pole on Down's

 

 

The Duchy of Downs is happy to announce the opening of the new Santa Sleigh Ride. This is a wonderful ride that travels through every region across all of Caledon! You travel high and low seeing many sights of our wonderful state. The ride is located at Santa’s workshop floating above the Goblin Cave. To get there you can use the attached landmark to the train station. There you will take the special Christmas train #25 on a ride up to Santa’s home and workshops. There is much to see around Santa’s estate so look all around. To get a sleigh ride head over to the elves workshop where a sleigh being loaded is parked and then touch the sleigh Santa will appear with his eight reindeer. The rider will carry two and you have 30 seconds to board by right click and select “sit”. Should something hold you up and he takes off simply touch the sleigh for another. In closing I do apologize for the late start of this as it became a much more involved construction due to many land restrictions and my own real life matters.

Reader Submitted : World of Warcraft Winterveil Sleigh Ride

From Jasmine Dawn. In World of Warcraft, it's the "Feast of Winter Veil." This year, there's a new activity in the cities Ironforge and Orgrimar: a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer that players can hop on.

And Jazzy's Worgen character decided to ride it for a bit, before she was "off for a little Winter Slaying."

Calas at Winter

Gemma's exploration of Christmas and winter-themed places took her to an old favorite, Calas Galadhon. Created by Ty Tenk and Truck Meredith, the region changes it's look every season and has something new to see and walk through. This winter, there are two new sims for the winter, and plenty of new sights all over.
