An Awesome Day Of Giving
by indulgences

I must admit, it took some time
To land upon a gift
To give my dearest Neofriend --
Her nearest, dearest wish.

I thought about some items for
Her growing gallery.
I thought to give her books and toys
That might fill her with glee.

I thought about some wearables
She'd don upon her pets.
She's quite a fan of species clothes.
She buys them in full sets.

I wondered if some stamps would serve.
She's starting to collect
The stamps that garner avatars.
Her album is bedecked.

And then, I hit upon a plan!
I have some extra pets.
They're languishing on my accounts.
They fill me with regret.

I never, ever play with them.
I never dress them up.
Their moods are quite dejected, and
That really, truly sucks.

Perhaps my Neofriend would love
To own a costly pet.
I have so many Royal ones,
Whose names I do forget.

I have a plethora of pets
That I can give away!
I dance and cheer, my mind is set.
I'll give away my strays!

So merry, merry Giving Day,
My cool and awesome peers!
I hope you gift your oldest friends --
Our Neofriends are dear!

The Month of Giving
by doorknob39

'Twas the Month of Giving
When all through the land
Neopians' hearts were merry,
Willing to give a hand.

The snow began falling,
The lights strung with care.
Wreaths sat on doors -
A sight oh-so fair.

Many were gathering
By fires so warm. 
Breaking out chestnuts, 
Hunkering down in the snowstorm.

Presents sat ready
For young ones to receive. 
Greens, blues, and reds - 
Their eyes couldn't believe!

But some Neopians aren't 
As lucky as this. 
Some poor fellows
Don't live in this bliss.

So, this season of giving,
Remember one another. 
Treat every last stranger
Just like a brother!

Give a hand to those 
In dire need,
And you might just find
They return the good deed!

Day of Giving
by boombaby13

All across the lands of Neopia where pets are living, they begin the ritual known as giving.
Shiny packages with ribbons and bows are stacked in many many rows.

Neopets of all shapes and sizes line the hall where gifts will be given to one and all.
First all the neopets are given their socks in which they may find puzzles, games or even blocks.

Time passes as presents are handed out to everyone as they all partake in the fun. 
Each parcel is ripped open with gleeful abandon, even the one belonging to Brandon. 

The gifts are always great we know, but the giving is what sets most aglow.
The spirit of making someone's day be merry and bright is always such a wonderful sight.

Dream Neopet Giveaway
by trubiekatie

It’s the Day of Giving, still early morn,
The tree, lit in lights, is colourfully adorn.
The stockings are full to the brim,
Nearby the tree, with a perfect trim.

There’s with a mountain of presents,
I have no idea of all the contents.
There’s one gift I want even more –
And it’s not something bought at a store.

I’ve entered the Dream Giveaway,
The winners will be announced today!
I wished that my ‘pet be transformed,
And hopefully not totally deformed!

I wished for my Kacheek to become Baby,
This year I might be lucky, just maybe.
I could have wished for much more too –
Only one entry, what was I to do?

But alas, I do not have such good luck,
And I leave the giveaway a totally schmuck.
Once again, I will enter next year,
Because it’s free and there’s nothing to fear.

The Neopians' Day of Giving
by nymria

The cold wind blows
And the sky turns dark,
As the land is covered in snow.

Two small Aishas huddle around a fire,
But the wind is harsh and the flames are weak,
And so they continue to tire.
With nowhere to go
And thin raggedy clothes,
Their teardrops fall on the snow.

But a faint light glows in the distance.
A vague winged figure draws near.
A worried Soup faerie makes her entrance!

She gently wraps them in her large fluffy coat
And asks what kind of soup they would like.
Suddenly, for the first time, they felt hope.
They shyly, but earnestly reply.

This is only the beginning
Of their Day of Giving.

A lone Lupe sits by candlelight.
With a cup of cocoa on his left
And a well-read book on his right,
He lets out a despondent sigh.

He studies the photos across his wall,
the collected memories of beloved family,
And some memories he struggles to recall.

He pulls out a wrinkled letter
And reads it once again.
He chuckles at his sons’ heartfelt apologies
And takes out a large quill pen.

For the best he could do is write a reply
And hope they visit next time.

Sometimes you can’t have everything
But you can still find solace
On the Day of Giving.

Neopians from lands far and wide
Gather ‘round in celebration
For a long-awaited reunion
After months of preparation.

As they exchange their gifts
And laugh and eat cake,
These are bonds
That will never break.

From Moltara to Terror Mountain,
No matter where you’re living,
You’re family no matter what.
Have a happy Day of Giving.

A Flight Around Neopia, Day of Giving Y22
by cookiez101

Not yet dawn, but already awake.
Rolling over, not reaching for patched comforter
always sloughed to side-sprawled precipice.

Instead, clasped in chest, coffee jitters
shaky feeling of both displaced nervousness and happiness.

White Draik wings unfurl, leather crinkling
quickly dressing, then off – away.

Neopia Central and a cup of steamy
salty-sweet-bitter-savory Borovan.
Confusing-festive.

To Brightvale for a
blind book exchange:
brown paper-wrapped parcels
containing multitudes of universes,
or a guide to baking desserts.

The Haunted Woods for a
bitter fruit cake, made of damp apples and eyeballs.

Then Altador
for a feast laden with olives, fragrant cheeses.

A stop at Krawk Island:
their parade at the Wharf, dubloons showering
sparkling in the sun with a crash on either stone or skull.
All masks of piracy and swashbuckling tucked away. Finally

to Happy Valley, the barycenter.
Emerald, scarlet, ivory lights blinking into eyelids shut
gold confetti, outlines of stars dropped.

Cakes: vanilla, chocolate,
with icings saccharine and sparkling,
sprinkles and glossy fruits.

The square sways
a wood-and-rope bridge of
merriment, dizzying
swirling, pulling you into
the tide of the holiday.

Day of Giving
by l0000000l

Festive cheer is near and dear,
Yes, the holidays, are finally here,
Melt away those frozen tears.

Jubilant smiles from ear to ear,
Neopets carol without any fear,
Pain and worries briefly disappear.

When times are hard you must persevere,
Never lose faith in this holiday premiere,
Gather around with spirits and revere.

Warmth emits from the natural veneer, 
Not a single soul remains unclear
that the clacking above is of reindeer.

Wrapped in blankets made of cashmere,
Baking goods in hopes for Santa to appear,
Only families liven up this cosy atmosphere.

Honouring Santa Claus as the true pioneer
of making your heart be the utmost sincere,
Encourage others to help and volunteer.

After all, the day of giving is the most wonderful time of the year.

Gather Around, it's the Day of Giving
by jitskeskywalker

Gather around, gather around,
hear the bells - that lovely sound,
it's the happiest time of the year,
the Day of Giving is now here!

Pets ranging from Ghost to Blue;
Chias, Lupes and Korbats too
are all together for the fun:
the magic moments have begun. 

Giving gifts and sharing meals,
to make sure ev'ry Neopet feels
appreciated and full of joy:
"Come, I got you a new toy!"

Others like to donate more,
to make sure there is enough for
Pets with a little less NP:
"Let's go to the Money Tree!"

Finally, the day is spent,
by catching up with an old friend:
laughter fills ev'ry room and hall,
it truly is the best day of all. 

Gather around, gather around, 
snow is falling on the ground,
memories are made today, 
that are forever here to stay.

Wheel of Extravagance
by dragonsfriend1021

Step right up, and take a spin!
You might lose or you might win.
Invite into your life some randomness,
And try out the Wheel of Extravagance.

Give it a chance and you may see
Growth in your pockets, or your inventory.
Exclusive winnings like a stamp, avatar, or background
Could be what you get when the wheel comes around.

Though beware, the cost to spin is steep!
And there's a possibility you might weep.
You could win a pile of Neopoints that's small,
And some spinners even win nothing at all.

Unfortunately, I don't get to choose.
I'm only the host; I don't know if you'll win or lose.
A humble Tonu whose job is to entice,
Collect the fee and hope you win something nice.

Don't blame me if the prize isn't great,
But if you win, together we can celebrate.
I love seeing 'pets spin, with wonder in their eyes,
And then seeing the joy when they win a prize.

So come try your luck! Step up to the wheel!
It's all up to chance, I can't say how you'll feel.
Though 100,000 Neopoints might seem too high,
The only way to know is to try!

The Great Blurendo's Magic
by jacobhulsebus

Welcome, young and old
to a magic show to behold.
Today I will perform for you
magic that is good and true.

Gaze upon this empty box.
Look again and see a Doglefox.
Er, since when were Doglefoxes like jelly?
Oh dear!  Why are you a Felly?

Never mind, never mind.
That trick was not yet refined.
I know another one to pick.
It truly is quite the trick.

Pick a card, any suit.
Whichever you pick, the point is moot.
Remember the one you took
without giving me a single look.

With a shuffle and a cut,
I have a feeling in my gut.
And without any other kind of aids,
I know your card was the Ace of Spades.

It wasn't?  How strange.
That is usually within my magical range.
No matter.  I have one more trick up my sleeve.
It's something you have to see to believe.

Before you is a spooky Ghostkerfish.
Don't blink; it will soon vanish.
This magic cloth will whisk it away—
or so I pray.

One, two, three—why are you still here?
I asked for you to disappear!
We don't have time for your tricks.
Once more!  Four, five, six!

The Doglefox?  How did you get under there?
Do not give me that blank stare.
I needed you before.
Is being on time really a chore?

Ah, I see now in the crowd
something of which I am quite proud.
Despite the disaster,
I still caused laughter.

They forgot about their cares
and worries of bad affairs.
This is the magic I weave
and all I ever hoped to achieve.
