Thursday Happy: SLelebrating Holidays

Hmmmm, this holiday activity is way too close to doing
actual cooking. I'd better to lie down for a while first.

I seem to be falling into a pattern of doing an every-other-week Thursday "Happy" post. We'll just pretend that my Happies (OMG...that is so not a word.) have two-week staying power: Tym's Thursday Happies - Now with 2X more joy! Absorbs tears like a sponge! Specially formulated to remove emo sadness without dulling colors! Testimonial: "WOW! It's been 12 days since I thought of this Happy and....snifffffff!!!!!....it still makes me smile!"

Anyhoo, this week's Happy is....Celebrating Holidays in SL!

I adore holidays in RL, so with SL I get to celebrate them twice. Also, it is significantly easier to hang and store decorations in SL. And I take a perverse pleasure in finding holiday items in SL. See below:

This is the coffee table at Starting Point with some of my Easter discoveries on it. I almost wet myself when I found that box of Peeps. In RL? Eating one of those dyed eggs (which have been sitting out for over 3 weeks now) would put you into the hospital. In SL? Munch away- they are as fresh as the day the prim chicken laid them. (OMG - I have to put out a salt shaker! /me dashes to my inventory folder to get one.)

But it isn't just the decorations that make me giddy. I love holiday activities in SL, too. I enjoy shopping for prim food, decor and gifts. I adore that holidays are ready made excuses for parties, prize hunts & contests. And I treasure the opportunities to dress up - like wearing antlers all December long or covering myself in butter for National Popcorn Day (January 19th).

I did refrain from putting on any bunny attire this Easter, except for one hour spent with ears and a tail. I added those accessories when I went with Jerremy to an info hub to spread the word about Starting Point. He dressed as a bear. (It is difficult to keep him out of costumes, really.)

Now if you will excuse me, I have to start making plans for National Sea Monkey Day. It falls on a Saturday this year (May 16), so I need to do something special.
