The winter season is with us now and there are a myriad of activities at
some marvelous places for us to enjoy. I have been exploring some of them and
will be letting you know about the fun you can have. One of my very favorites
is Christmas Winter Holiday Village.We spent many hours there last year taking
rides in the horse carriage, the hot air balloon and most of all skating. Everything is in place this year and more.
Air Santa is a special feather ride
that takes you for a tour of the whole sim. Up on the mountain by the air
ride there are also free skis or a sled to ride back down to the village
There are some lovely ice skating places in SL, many of which I have visited
but this site has an extensive pond that is interesting and delightful all the
way around, passing under bridges, through caves and taking turns through the
region. The trees surrounding the pond are lovely as you pass waterfalls not
yet frozen. You will find polar bears as you pass and a penguin island.
Pick up the free skates that are available. Sit and just enjoy the view or roam
the country side on foot.
Santa is at the North Pole and Mrs Santa has a
retreat all her own. Santa also has a Christmas Tree Farm with any type of
Christmas tree you would like, small or large. He also has a reindeer barn full
of reindeer for you. I remember he and Mrs. Claus made appearances all around
the whole village last year so you may run into them when you visit.I did have a
Mrs. Santa sighting. The children’s house is sweet, with children building a
snowman outside.
There are sweet shops that hold all kinds of holiday
goodies from outfits to furniture. If you are looking for Christmas
decorations or outfits for skating and more stop into the Magic of Christmas
shop where you will find anything you want. You will find Karra’s jukebox inside
on the wall as a gift. There is also a petites winter mall nearby.
Mairead Fitzgerald, the owner, told me she and her helpers started
preparing in June. It is a complete winter setting that you will want to
visit over and over again so keep the landmark when you get it. You can pick up
a guide book from any of the gnomes you see holding a sign. In it you will find
landmarks for many of the delightful venues around the region and directions to
help you enjoy the whole experience. I may run into you as you skate or
ski, or shop LOL. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Holiday%20Village/113/158/21
