    Hmmmm, enjoying,

    Bamboozled & perplexed.

    Carousel ride, first time I joined another rider, didn't realise that's what I chose.

    Then later I ride the caousel, somebody asks to join but I miss the request!!!! The request doesn't stay on the screen forvery long.

    This I have found with most messages/join requests within acorn park, messages don't display for long enough, people think you are ignoring them! It's frustrating.

    I did the skating task, skates are 250 acorns, to buy, it works like the skateboard park. At least I look good in the skates hehe.

    But the first skate task, ok, but boring, the skates don't seem to give a speed boost.

    Second skate task, I'm heading around, then the next checkpoint is outside the lake!!! hat, no wait, not fair, rather awkward to get out of thelake... via the "gate", I didn't like that, it's rather like "moving the goal posts"

    Giving 5 chestnut/hot chocolate gifts gets you a visit to santa who gives you the reindeer avatar/costume.

    I have the coal & the reindeer avatar.

    I gifted a bit and felt good :) I let 1 person join me on carousel, I'd happily allow more, butjust bear in mind the alerts don't stay on the screen for very long!

      Oh yeah, snow balling is fun... my son loves it! :)

      There is also a challenge to get hit by snowballs 10 times for xp points.

      Also gift 25 concessions (unkown what it means.... like giving chestnuts?), in challengessays you get a gift & xp points ( I really hope its not another gifting lmo thing)

      & 30 mins skating on the lake (maybe just skating?), will give reward & xp

      Giving concessions (hot chocolate/roast chestnuts) also automatically gives you the following LMO holiday items:
      • 5 concessions:
      "Acorn Meadow Gifter – The Modest Gift of the Altruistic"
      (you carry a large present + 5.00 m/s speed boost)

      • 10 concessions:
      "Acorn Meadow Gifter – The Modest Gift of the Altruistic"
      (you carry a teetering tower of presents + the 5.00 m/s speed boost)

      Cheers!!

      If you haven't gifted anyone at all during the entire months, Santa will give you an exclusive coal LMO for being bad. lol

      You can still redeem yourself by gifting people 5 times and Santa will have a change of heart and you'll get the Rudolph animal avatar. ;)

      Other limited season objectives:

      Drink 5, 10 (reward - snow globe), 25 hot cocoas
      Eat 5, 10 (reward - ice clock), 25 chestnuts
      Ride the carousel 5 times
      Spend 30 minutes in the skating rink (reward - carrying santa sack LMO)
      Get hit 10 times with snowballs (must be playing it)
      Hit 10 people hit a fastball snowball (must hit other people playing)
      Hit 10 people with a lob throw snowball (must hit other people playing)

      Also, the bike kiosk has colored snowmobiles LMOs too. The Xmas kiosk has better rewards and snowboard LMOs. Way better than the last two event spaces IMHO, though the Thanksgiving one was slightly better than Halloween's. ^^

        Well.... if I'd have known what the rewards are I might not have bothered:p, but I enjoyed gifting :)

        Snowballing is free so that's. Real good to have there.

            look up there, is it a bird? Is it a plane? ( why a bird or a plane in the sky would be that surprising I'm not sure lol)

              well, seems like as good a place as any for these:

              Acorn Snow Park, Dec 4, 2013, 9:29 PM, YourPSHome.net, 9204Acorn Snow Park, Dec 4, 2013, 9:29 PM, YourPSHome.net, 9204

              Though these pics aren't exactly of the Winterized version of Acorn Meadow, I have experienced this exact same memory corruption issue in both spaces, in both NA & UK (the HK park appears to be the only one as yet unaffected by this malady).

              The first thing that pops up is that small semi-transparent PiP window at the upper-left. Then suddenly massive slowdown occurs (Drops to ~10fps or so) and all objects begin streaming those trails off themselves. The more onscreen movement there is (by yourself, your camera, or others), the more pronounced the effect.

              And yes, although quite trippy to behold, it eapidly becomes intensely nauseating.

              So for those few non-believers who insisted I was making this all up… tough darts baby!
