Day of Giving Special

Christmas in the Haunted Woods, Sung by Sophie (Alto) And Bruno (Countertenor)
by rielcz

Sophie:
Let both of us regale
This whole world with a tale
How the Haunted Woods doth prepare

Bruno:
For each bone-chilling scare
And frost stirred in the air
Just what will this Christmas entail? 

I see the Brain Tree cover'd in lights
Ghosts are exchanging presents beneath

Sophie:
I see Thade's mansion shining so bright
In insanity, ribbons, and wreaths!

Fairness at the Deserted Fairground
And merriment at playing dead games

Bruno:
Nox and MAGAX carol merry sounds
And all Spooky Petpets become tame

Bruno and Sophie:
Esophagor shares his spare food with the poor
And all the witches get along!
That Fetch! even gets the day off to restore
And wanderers dance to fun songs!

Sophie:
And in Neovia
We've many ideas
How Christmas will come there to be

From bobbing for Bart's gifts
To crumpets in snowdrifts

Bruno:
My cave as the nativity! 

Bruno and Sophie:
So then hope and trust us
When we say that Christmas
Is celebrated in the Woods

For even the creatures
With scariest features
Need a day to rest and be good!

Christmas Past
by applefaerie99

Christmas has come and gone
Advent Callendar gifts have all been claimed

I miss the smell of holiday baking
fresh gingerbread cookies all decorated

As I look outside the lights are still twinkling
the snowman with its carrot nose and button eyes
still stares at me

The garbage can is packed to the rim with 
used up wrapping paper

Ornaments and ribbons on the tree need to be taken down
packed until next year

I love the Christmas spirit all year long and so
I leave the Merry Christmas Quiguki on the mantle

The Christmas Paint Brush, Oh So Jolly
by _brainchild_

I'm bored with blue---it's so mundane!
I need a different shade.
I wish to bear no hues of rain---
This gloominess should fade.

A Christmas Brush, affordable,
Is festive, which I love!
The red and green are never dull---
They complement sweet doves.

Poinsettia colours contrast with
The bliss of evergreen.
The beauty, more than just a myth,
Bears hues so crisp and clean!

Oh, yes, I'm going to buy the brush---
Its colours shall delight!
Divine excitement, sure to rush,
Brings happiness to sight.

Have a Tree-mendous Christmas!
by starishblue

Pass the cup of Borovan
Come gather round the tree
Hum carols in great unison
And laugh and cheer with glee

Grab an Extreme Holiday Potato
And some divine Turkey
But don't forget to save some room
For a Fun Holiday Cookie

Bask in warmth from the fireplace
And great camaraderie
A festive joy that supersedes
Winning the Neopian lottery!

Dear Santa, I've been good all year
I'm grateful as can be
But please, no Ugly Christmas Sweaters
They're simply not for me!

The Day of Giving Across Neopia
by crazyboutcute

The Day of Giving only comes
just one day of the year.
With candy canes and sugarplums,
we spread holiday cheer.

Warm gingerbread and snowball fights
then hot cocoa with mint.
Around the old hearth’s firelight
our Eve of Giving’s spent.

I wonder about other lands.
How do they celebrate?
Where there’s no cold, no chilly hands,
how do they pass this fete?

The Islanders go to the shore
and dress up all the palms.
They don’t miss snow, no, they adore
warm waves and sand of bronze.

The Haunted Woods have no green trees
and so they decorate
the Brain Tree after they appease
his need to know death dates.

In Lost Desert, where there’s no snow,
how do the children play?
They gather balls of sand to throw
and ride down dunes in sleighs!

In Maraqua, deep in the sea,
where all is murky black,
they line up pearls on bright algae—
like festive lights, in fact!

On Virtupets, they simulate
the weather down below.
On holographic ice, they skate
beneath virtual snow.

And Kreludor has zero G,
so nothing stays in place.
Their lights and baubles all fly free—
a spectacle in space!

So many ways to celebrate
this joyous holiday!
I close my eyes, I just can’t wait
for gift-giving, hooray!

Hoping for the Holidays
by itsbun

Two wishes, both alike in hope,
In fair Faerieland, where we lay our scene,
From basic yellow break to new colours,
Where a Rainbow Fountain does more than just clean.

From forth the magical waters of this fountain,
A pair of neopets fulfill their dreams,
Whose yellow fur and pinkish spots,
Transform to better fit their themes.

The fear they harboured now melted away,
Replaced by happy thoughts and pure joy,
For now the Cybunny was a beautiful oak,
And the Kacheek would forever be a plush toy,
Two Rainbow Fountain dips may be rare,
But anything can happen on the Day of Giving, I hear!

This year I will be eating the cookies,
Though these are of the fortune kind,
They taste of magic and faerie dust,
And come with a quest item to find.

Each day I wake up wondering if it is today,
That I will finally get a Fountain Faerie quest,
If not, though, at least my neopet gets stat boosts,
And in the battledome he can do his very best.

Here's to hoping your wish will come true,
Your bank account will stay full and your pets not blue,
I hope winter brings happy things for you,
And remember to give back to others, too!

Festive season is here and Happy Holidays!
by thebellmaker

Jingle all the way she thought,
Dragging a sled through the snow,
The Christmas Elephante struggled and fought,
Not today snow, I will win as I plough!

Hurry I must go to the Winter Celebration,
But maybe I should try and go to the bus station,
The snow is beautiful and a lot like cotton candy,
Ah, it doesn’t matter as I’m fine and dandy!

Up ahead is the great festive fir tree,
Oh what a sight to see,
Colourful lights and candy canes and a cup of borovan,
The Christmas Elephante arrived like a screaming fan!

Gifts galore were all around to give out,
Neopians all over were in route,
It is a happy time not far away,
Festive season is here and Happy Holidays!

The Day of Giving
by obsidiankarasu

The Day of Giving is more than just a day in December,
It's all of those things we love to remember.
It's a day to celebrate generosity and kindness,
The friends and family who share Neopia and who stand beside us.

There's Neopets singing carols in the distance, and laughter everywhere,
While the fragrant smells of Christmas, hang heavily in the air.
Candy canes and cookies, angels top the trees,
Streamers of tinsel wrapped round and round, while delicate snowflakes float on the wintery breeze.

Decorated stockings adorn the mantelpiece and hang in a row,
Over the fireplace and bathed in a warm, orange glow.
Gift wrapped boxes will be opened by eager Neopian girls and boys,
Books and puzzles, sweaters and toys.

Golden stars in the midnight sky shine down with a cheerful Christmas glow,
And twinkle a festive message to the many Neopians below;
They tell of the peace and goodwill that the Day of Giving brings,
Of the spirit of sweet friendship that brightens everything.

Neopian windows filled with Christmas candles all alight,
Sending greetings of the season into the night.
The Day of Giving is more than a day in December,
It's the magic and the love that we'll always remember.

All I want for Christmas
by jaymay_o

Green, Blue, Speckled, Checkered, Transparent;
All of these Paint Brushes have beautiful merit.

There is just one brush that I would like to see;
This one has a very special spot under the tree.

The Christmas Paint Brush may not be sought after;
However, during this time it's the one I want to paint all the rafters.

Purple, Striped, Biscuit and Snow;
I want them all so on my list they shall go.

And with that list and a smile on my face;
I will tell Santa that if you bring me a Christmas Paint Brush I will surely embrace.

Merry Christmas!
