Christmas 2009

On November 30, 2009 at 2:25pm, the very first Aywas Christmas event began!

Advent Calendar
Every day during December, you could visit the Advent Calendar to pick up a different item daily.

Candy Canes
Like the Halloween Pumpkin event held during Halloween 2009, every 15 minutes a Candy Cane appeared every 15 minutes at the top of the screen. Only the first person (out of all clicking players) to click the item received it.

The Candy Cane items collected could later be used to make purchases in the Seasonal Shop.

Other item releases
Also released at this time were:

- Bag of Goodies item (found in the Advent Calendar or "floating around site"). - Santas Bag item. - Small Present item (could be found in the Advent Calendar).

These items were unusable until activated on December 25th.

Stockings
On November 30, 2009 at 5:54pm a "Stocking" feature was released where users could visit their friend's stocking, and leave letters, along with items as gifts if they wished to. Users could not look into their own stockings until Christmas. This feature was replaced in later years by the Holiday Tree, which served an identical purpose.
