Boreal Wishes is all about giving gifts!

Make a gift for someone else! That's all :3

No matter what kind, eveyone loves cookies of some sort!

All across Chrysalopolis, cookies are a staple in Boreal Wishes celebrations, and often handed out with gifts, sold at events, and just simply enjoyed in one's own home. Depict your pacapillar or snekket baking or enjoying cookies. Alternatively, you can turn your pacapillar or snekket into a cookie too!

Brr it's cold out... Time to show off your holiday style!

Even though the weather is cold, luckily Boreal Wishes fashion is designed to both keep pacas warm and looking good. How does your pacpaillar or snekket dress up for the holiday season? Do they have a sweater that fits them perfectly that their best friend made for them, or maybe they got an ugly scarf from a thrift store that is the warmest scarf they've ever had?

There's glitter everywhere...

Decorating is a big part of any holiday, but there's so much glitter that sticks to everything... Luckily not every part of Boreal Wishes involves glitter... Somehow... How is your pacapillar or snekket preparing for the holiday season? Are they making handmade gifts for their friends and family, maybe they're dressing up snowpacas in the back yard, or perhaps they got stuck in an isle at the store with all the glittery decorations?

The snow won't stop!

As pretty as the snow is, it becomes a real problem when it traps you indoors for days on end... Did your paca plan ahead and buy supplies in advance, or are they just watching the snow continue to pile up wondering if they have enough snacks?

Snow is piling up quickly, but luckily there's a winter lodge nearby...

On the Western side of Chrysalopolis, there is an island with its own Crystal Anchor, however despite being completely separated from the main land of the floating city, it is a popular space in the winter. Having a higher altitude than other areas of Chrysalopolis, the moment the weather turns cold, snow starts to pile up to be deeper than the height of your average Pacapillar fairly quickly. Due to the massive area covered in a perfect blanket of snow, it is a popular location for winter sports such as sledding and skiing!

On the Northern side of the island sits a fairly large winter lodge, overlooking the mysterious Gilled Domain and that riegon's Crystal Anchor. By standing in this location alone, you can see almost all of Chrysalopolis, and though the grand Tree of Souls is on the completely opposite Eastern side of Chrysalopolis, you still strugle to fit it entirely into your field of view, showing just how enormous the tree is in reality. If you were to move to higher ground, such as the peak of one of the ski hills, you would be able to see even more of the great floating city.

During Boreal Wishes, this island rests at the same level the Aroura Borealis emitting from the Tree of Souls, dancing across the winter night sky, painting the stars with glorious colors.

Upon visiting this island, you find the infamous cabin overlooking the sea. How does your Pacapillar enjoy their visit to this area of beauty? Are they fast asleep next to one of the many fireplaces in the winter lodge? Maybe they're just getting back from a sledding trip and eager to try some of the hot cocoa offered by workers in the cabin? Perhaps they're sitting outside in the bitter cold weather just to soak in the views all around them?

Frost is creeping in quick! More quickly than some plants are prepared for...

Winter arrived in Chrysalopolis pretty quickly this year, and plants struggled to adapt to the near sudden change. Gardens, greenhouses, and even tiny house plants in some areas have been frozen before they could even turn brown, often being coated in a thick layer of frost. Though this will harm many plants in the Spring, for the time being, it is a fairly beautiful sight, all plants taking a blueish grey tint in color, and sparkling with every beam of light that strikes. How does your pacapillar or snekket experience this spectacle? Are they snapping as many photographs as their little nubs can manage? Maybe they're taking a stroll through their local public gardens to simply enjoy the atmosphere? Perhaps they're panicking over the effect this will have in the Spring, trying to save as many of their plants as they can?

For Boreal Wishes you decide to meet up with THyme again as much as she tried to protest, only you come to learn she has no other friends besides you...

Making friends isn't always easy, especially for a Monster Pacapillar who means well, only for others to run from them in fear before they can even properly introduce themselves... That's, unfortunately, the case for your new friend, Thyme. Upon learning this information, you decide to drag Thyme into one of the main villages despite her continuous protests. You know exactly the Pacapillar to introduce her to, leading her to a little shop called "Sachet's Pillow Fort".

Thyme is awkward and uncertain, but Sachet quickly reassures her, and the two start talking more openly without need for your help. You leave them alone to talk further, but a few days later, you find a mysterious gift in your mailbox. Inside, there is a very colorful patchwork Pacapillar plush covered in fresh flowers, alongside a note from both Thyme and Sachet, thanking you for helping them find a new friend.

Depict your Pacapillar or Snekket helping Thyme make new friends. Are they a little too eager, making Thyme uncertain of the situation? Perhaps they're helping to keep her calm about the whole ordeal? Maybe they're a little too nosey over what Sachet and her are discussing, hiding in the clothing racks of Sachet's shop to listen in?
