Feedback Waiting for Santa

OMG what wasn't to love about this event. A nice relaxing event for Christmas when everyone is so busy with RL and all the prizes were excellent in my opinion. So many piccolo boxes to be had, some lovely deco items with great EP (and extra goodies) and three pets, you made me so happy. I will admit I was a bit overwhelmed with all the different components at first but thanks to the strategy thread (thanks Northy) it turned out not to be that hard. And I was bit impatient waiting to get going on the jigsaw so I could get the ornament giver but then I decided it was just like waiting for Christmas to arrive so I could open presents and I settled down a bit, LOL. So here's my take on each component -

Christmas Tree was so beautiful once finished I just wanted to keep looking at it. The 8hr crop was good, could get three harvests in each day without feeling like I was chained to the game. Drop rate was also good but was nice to know if I didn't get enough I could do some breeding to boost my numbers (I didn't need to).
Jigsaw was very easy (once you got enough pieces to play). I always enjoy this game and love that it doesn't have a timer as that allows me to really enjoy working each puzzle out. I loved the pictures, they had so much detail in them it was amazing.
Stocking Stuffing requirements were probably a little high for some of the newer players to fully complete but I thought us old time players were rewarded nicely for all our years of hard work (and hoarding). I loved the graphics here too.
Yule Yarn game I always find a little stressful due to the timer. I'm usually fairly good at it but just panic a lot worrying if I'll finish in the required time. The drop rate for the Festive Fir was pretty low but I still managed to get quite a few and didn't really need them anyway. I also made use of miekje9's charts (thank you) but more just to get an early look at the puzzle so I could still try to solve it myself. I really appreciated the Colour Chaos giver so I could earn extra ornaments to fail quite a few games so I could get extra star coins (so many lovely things in the shop to buy).
And I also really loved the music that played in each area. Stocking Stuffing had a different one to the other three so maybe work on each game having it's own for next year (hint, hint to the techs)

Overall I thought it was a perfect event to finish the year. There was something for all players no matter their level so everyone could get a share of the rewards, I personally feel very spoilt.

Well done BP, Mods and other players, you all made this a fabulous event.

I must add that it was a nice twist that if we missed prizes because we ran out of time, we could go back and have another go - excellent! Kudos to the programmers.
