Grey Day Celebrations


by werelupe_king23

--------

It’s that day again, a day that Neopians have come to know as Grey Day; the one day of the year when all of the most miserable, unfortunate and Grey Neopets look to each other to celebrate their existence. It’s a day that people come from all over Neopia to celebrate, and a day that is filled with a variety of things to do. If you’ve never heard of it before, or even if you have, this guide will help you plan the best Grey Day ever! Grey Day is always on the 14th of April and while it may seem like a strange thing to celebrate, it’s actually a lot of fun. The festivities start early in the morning and go well into the night, so there’s plenty of time to fit in everything that you want to do.

      So, what can you do to celebrate Grey Day? First of all, Grey Day is all about showing your appreciation for all of the Grey Neopets out there, and that means giving them a little bit of extra love. If you have a Grey Neopet, then you’ll want to start the day by spending some one on one time with them. Take your Neopet to the park to play, or head to the beach to build sandcastles. Of course, the Grey Neopets don’t seem like the kind of Pets that would be into that kind of thing, but trust me, they really do appreciate it.

     If you don’t have a Grey Neopet, then you can still get in on the action. Grey Day is all about celebrating and that means that everyone is welcome to join in. Head to the Rainbow Pool and paint your Neopet Grey, or if you don’t have a Grey Paint Brush, then why not dress your Pet up in some grey clothes? There are plenty of items that you can buy for your Neopet to make them look like they have grey fur, and that’s exactly what you should be doing on Grey Day. Once you’ve shown your appreciation for the Grey Neopets in Neopia, it’s time to start showing your appreciation for the other Neopians.

      Grey Day is a great day for random acts of kindness, and it’s something that you should definitely be taking part in. Why not send your Neofriends a Grey Day card, or why not surprise them with a Grey Day gift? There are some fantastic Grey Day items that you can buy in the shops, and they make for the perfect gift. You could also surprise random people in Neopia by sending them a Grey Day gift as well. You never know, you might just make someone’s day!

      So, you’ve played with your Grey Neopet, you’ve painted them grey or dressed them in grey clothes and you’ve sent your Neofriends a Grey Day gift, what’s next? Well, now it’s time to get out and about and explore all of the wonderful things that Neopia has to offer. Grey Day is the perfect day to go out and explore, and there are plenty of places that you can go. The first stop on your Grey Day adventure should be the Haunted Woods. There’s no better place to go on a day that’s all about grey-ness and misery than the Haunted Woods, and there are plenty of things to do there as well.

      You can visit the Brain Tree for a brainy quest, or you can check out the Esophagor if you’re feeling a bit peckish. You can also head to the Spooky Food shop, which is always a great place to grab some food on a budget, and there are plenty of other spooky shops there as well. Once you’ve finished in the Haunted Woods, then it’s time to head to the Deserted Fairground. This is another spooky place where the Grey Neopets will feel right at home, and there are plenty of things to do here. You can play some games to win some prizes, or if you’re feeling brave, then you can visit the Deserted Tomb.

      There’s plenty to do here, and it’s a great place to keep the celebrations going. If you’re not up for the spookiness of the Haunted Woods or the Deserted Fairground, then you could always head to Krawk Island. While this island is usually known for its pirates, it’s also a great place to come on Grey Day. You can visit the Golden Dubloon for some grub, or you could take part in the Krawk Island treasure hunt. You could even grab a map piece from the Smuggler’s Cove and start your journey to find the legendary treasure of Krawk Island.

      If you’re not in the mood for an adventure, then you could always head to the Island Mystic and see what he has to say. Once you’ve visited the spookiest places in Neopia and had your fill of adventures, it’s time to head home and start getting ready for the Grey Day celebrations. There are plenty of things that you can do to celebrate Grey Day at home, and some of the best ways to do that is by throwing a party. You can invite your Neofriends over to join in the celebrations, and you can have a great time with them. You could have a Grey Day dinner party, where you only serve grey food, or you could have a games night and play some spooky games, or you could just have a movie night and watch some of the spookiest movies that Neopia has to offer.

     The fun doesn’t have to stop when the Grey Day celebrations end, you can keep the fun going all year long. You can do this by setting up a Grey Day club where you and your Neofriends can meet up every month to celebrate. You can also set up a Grey Day Neopets group where you can keep in touch with other Grey Neopets all year long. There are plenty of things that you can do to celebrate Grey Day and if you use these tips, then you’re sure to have the best Grey Day ever!
