EMC's 12 Days of Christmas 2020

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by Krysyy, Dec 14, 2020.

  1. Day 12: December 25th


    Each day will see an addition to the EMC 12 Days of Christmas song as written below. Most of them will be posted in the morning, while some may be delayed or early due to actual release. The numbers and repetition have nothing to do with the items/events, but they make it sound better when you sing it.

    Details of that day's event/item/etc will be posted in the comments on the thread so you can keep track.

    Please do not pester the staff about what is coming next. They won't tell you :p

    Type /promo flame to receive a 2020 version of our Holiday Candle.
    Available til New Years Day.

    We re-release this promo with a different year because of its importance. This is the 3rd release. The Holiday Candle was originally created to pay homage to the various holiday traditions in multiple cultures. At this time and especially during a time like 2020, it’s increasingly important to encourage the expanding of one’s understanding of the other cultures so that we can all learn to respect them, and each other, more.

    I hope that you each take time to read up on the following traditions that different cultures celebrate around this time of year (some of which involving candles):
