Or as I really wanted to call this post, “This Christmas – Give a Shit!” Hello; I’m the vampire Lord Winter Jefferson. The fabulous Barry Singe is allowing me to take over her blog (again) because… lets face it, she can be pretty slack at times. Can’t style herself either, takes second rate pictures and carries a whiff of curried mangos with her wherever she goes. I’ll admit to being somewhat fond of her, but only very occasionally and after a helluva lot to drink. This post does come out from both of us though, and it comes from some place pretty sincere. In Strawberry’s case it would be her heart but with me I’m not entirely sure as mine stopped beating a good 248 years ago. Self preservation perhaps; I like to maintain my food source in good working order.
This time of year… for most of us, we are so lucky. Sure everyone is doing it a lot harder, I won’t deny. But there’s usually enough to eat, we don’t have to boil our water before drinking it and we are mostly free to live our lives in a safe way. If you have the freedom to be online and read this post then you are doing relatively well. No one begrudges you this and it’s wonderful to see. We’d just like to invite you to take one extra step outside, as Second Lifers have proven themselves to be such a generous community on both local and global levels in this quite frankly crappiest of years.
What we would love is to open up comments to things that you do for others, share and provide inspiration for small acts that can provide cheer where it is least expected – and most needed. As an example, I give my family chickens in a card each year. It’s kind of hard stuffing them in and neither of us seems to enjoy the experience much, but I saw it as an idea on the Oxfam site and I didn’t really bother reading it closely so I just put my own spin on it… no, really. What happens is you buy the card, and the cost goes towards giving a family in places like Laos a brood of chickens. You can give a friend crabs (or as I call it “every other Friday night”) and you genuinely can give a shit. I personally recommend sending this one to your boss.
There are lots more ways that can be used to add some extra sparkle. That lonely old widow on the end of your street? Invite him around for some festive nog. That really ugly patch of weeds at the park? Pull an eco ninja and plant some flower seeds there so that everyone gets a Spring surprise. Leave a comment on the blog of someone you do not know. Throw in toll fare for the car behind you. Babysit for your harried friend. Write a letter instead of a text. Compliment a stranger on their style. Pat that strange cat winding its way around your ankles. Create little origami animals and leave them on park benches to delight small children. Reassure Berry that she doesn’t smell like rotten mangos… which means totally lie through your fangs.
I know that we don’t all believe in the same things. It doesn’t matter, beauty is non denominational. Share with us what you do to make this season special. That’s the first step right there.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Plato.

Hello! This is quite a basic look that Ive been wearing the past couple of days. With the new version of phoenix released I’ve been able to finally get mesh, which is so exciting for me! The top, skirt and shoes I’m wearing are all mesh!
(love) released this skin, and it’s the cuuuutest wittle face I’ve ever seen! It reminds me of an old &bean skin I used to wear, I just want to pinch it’s little cheeks all day! Apparently this was supposed to just be a beta testing skin, but after a lot of good feedback, it was released. And I’m glad it was!

The Loft brings to you two living rooms brimming with eclectic elegance. Perfect for the homeowners who prefer to blend styles while truly making their space their very own.
THE FREZZA CHRISTMAS ROOM:
Just in time for the last minute holiday decorator.
Multi-Animated pieces in this set include the fireplace, sofa and armchair. These chairs not only rezzes props but on certain animations will deliver an item to your inventory so you can attach and use. Go ahead and try out the “phone” and “sing” animations.
Pillows, throw, the tin elves and the lacquered tray are texture changeable making it ever so easy to customize any space.
Then we have the Frezza Living Room whose pieces supports the same features as the Christmas room. (Please note the fireplace in this room is not animated.)
Sofas are available @ the store in a variety of colors.

Please send Colleen Desmoulins an IM to receive your prize.
Four Corners starts on the 17th but I’m lucky enough to be a blogger for the event. There are four different trends (Delicate Damsel, Bikes & Spikes, Alluring Modesty and Delightfully bright). Each store has created an item inspired by one of these themes and their mood boards. There are over 40 great brands participating, so this is definitely not one to be missed! Not only this, but there’s also a little bit of competition going on. The shoppers (meaning you!) get to cast a vote for their favourite trend! Anyway, it’s shaping up to be really awesome, definitely worth the trip. For more information like the mood boards and who’s involved, check out the Four Corners blog.
