Gracie and Dexter Dung Beetle, an official NPC mascot symbolizing hard work, transformation, and finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Gracie was not just a character; she represented the spirit of resilience and ingenuity that our community was built upon.

Unfortunately, some members of the organization decided that Gracie no longer belonged and expressed a desire to remove her. As an owner of the organization, this was heartbreaking to hear. So I have created a sanctuary here for her at my Sandbox, those of you wishing to visit Gracie and Dexter they would love your support. It is a public sandbox so if you want to place anything I will create an area for you. Thank you for all of you who did support Gracie and Dexter 🪲🪲 Created by @FerdFrederix-FredBeckhusen three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Sandbox

Event begins: 2024-12-30 18:00 SLT
Added by: Kith Whitehawk✦
Details:
DJ Kith spins favorites from their 2024 Hot Daddy’s sets. It may not have been the best year in some ways for many of us, but the music at Hot Daddy’s was always great. DJ Kith has put together a collection of favorite tunes from all their different Hot Daddy’s DJ’s choices from the last year. You may hear Tribal one minute and 80’s Rock the next but all of it will be great and Tribe will be there loving it. What a super way to end the year!

Christmas Blessings and much love, Lavia

Dear Leisa Calling, me out of My name proves that you have been harassing me for the last four weeks using various avatars with the same first name. You have been banned from the other grid for the identical reason. "Grow the hell up!" is all I have to say. God is my soldier, and you are the devil in disguise, attempting to attract attention. Here's my handkerchief; go on. Most people recognize me as a decent person, and I've helped a lot of people who came to my grid from other grids. I don't support lying or grieving, regardless of who you are. You must stop destroying and move on to real life.
My point was made.

In the heart of the digital realm, where grids and codes intertwined, there existed a special place known as the Gentle Fire Grid. This grid was unlike any other; it was a warm, welcoming community where avatars from all corners of the virtual world gathered to share stories, create art, and celebrate together.

As Christmas approached, the Gentle Fire Grid buzzed with excitement. The avatars decorated their virtual homes with twinkling lights, digital wreaths, and pixel-perfect Christmas trees. The air was filled with the sound of cheerful carols and the scent of virtual gingerbread cookies.

One chilly December evening, the grid's founder, a wise and kind avatar named Santa Mint, decided to host a grand Christmas party. Invitations were sent out to all the neighboring grids, including the renowned OpenSim. The message read, "Merry Christmas from Gentle Fire Grid to OpenSim! Join us for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration with live singer's and DJ's"

On the night of the party, avatars from OpenSim arrived, their digital forms glowing with anticipation. They were greeted with open arms and warm smiles. The Gentle Fire Grid had prepared a feast of virtual delicacies, from pixelated plum pudding to holographic coffee.

As the night went on, the avatars shared stories of their adventures, exchanged gifts, and danced under the shimmering lights of the virtual sky. Santa Mint stood by the grand Christmas tree, watching the joy spread across the grid. It was a night to remember, a night where the boundaries of the digital world melted away, and the true spirit of Christmas shone brightly.

And so, the Gentle Fire Grid and OpenSim celebrated together, creating memories that would last a lifetime. It was a reminder that no matter where you are, the warmth of community and the magic of Christmas can bring everyone together.

Now we all are in the holiday mood, we offer you a winter adventure.
The ELEVEN CITIES SKATING TOUR. SKATE AND COLLECT STAMPS, WIN A PRIZE.

A skating tour , 12 sims huge , leading you through a wonderful winter landscape with some nice details underway, like cabins for a rest ( or a cuddle ), Icy waterfalls, animals, and more surprises.

How does it work?

Hop : grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago

On the landing place a teleport sign will lead you to the winter fair/ skating tour start point.
Find the information board. It gives you historical information about this funny Dutch tradition, and an opportunity to collect all the original stamps in this tour and win the 11 cities trophy , which in the Netherlands is like being a local hero.

You will get a map/ texture and when opening your world map, you will be able to locate all the checkpoints by comparing the map with your position on the world map. We introduced this bc too many people got lost on track and miss stamps !

Drag all your stamp textures on a notecard and sent it to me. You will be rewarded . I will mention names of the people who are in the "hall of fame" in this thread.

Oh, and don't forget to visit the market with all its freebees !

Happy skating!

Weihnachten kommt in großen Schritten näher, bescuht den Christmas-Advent-Markt mit Euren Freunden und Familie, vielleicht findet Ihr sogar noch ein paar Weihnachtsgeschenke für Eure Lieben dort.

Stellen Sie sich Folgendes vor: ein Wunderland im Herzen eines malerischen Stadtplatzes, mit verschneiten Wegen und funkelnden Lichterketten, die verspielt in der frischen Winterluft tanzen. Der Duft gerösteter Kastanien liegt in der Luft, die Kastanien sind tatsächlich heiß, eingebettet in kleine Papiertüten, die knistern, wenn man sie Ihnen reicht, und ihren nussigen, gerösteten Duft verströmen. Sie stecken sich eins in den Mund und es ist eine Symphonie aus Geschmack und Wärme, ein herrlicher Kontrast zu der Kälte, die Ihre Nase erstickt, und dem süßen Duft von Karamell
Die frisch zubereiteten Crêpes brutzeln mit Zucker überzogen und jeder Atemzug ist ein
Ein köstlicher Cocktail aus festlichen Düften, der Ihre Nase kitzelt und Ihre Seele wärmt
Vergessen röstet Marshmallows über dem offenen Feuer, die klebrige Süße der schmelzenden Marshmallows weht durch die Luft, ein Sirenenruf für Naschkatzen. Während Sie sitzen und genießen, werden Ihre Wangen von den Flammen rosig, während Sie versuchen, den perfekten S’more zu kreieren.

Heiße Getränke und dampfende Becher mit Glühwein und gewürztem Apfelwein werden herumgereicht und die Wärme dringt durch die Handschuhe bis in die Knochen. Sie können nicht anders, als an dem duftenden Gebräu zu nippen, die Gewürze von Zimt, Nelken und Muskatnuss drehen sich auf Ihrer Zunge und hinterlassen eine wohlige Wärme. Und für die weniger Abenteuerlustigen gibt es heiße Schokolade, die so reichhaltig und cremig ist, dass man sie wie eine warme Umarmung fühlt von innen nach außen, garniert mit einem Berg Schlagsahne und einer Prise glitzerndem Zucker.

Die Standbesitzer sind ein fröhlicher Haufen, ihre Augen funkeln mit der gleichen Begeisterung wie die oben aufgereihten Lichter, man erkennt die Details, die diesen Ort so besonders machen. Girlandenstränge waren über jede Oberfläche drapiert, das Rascheln von Tannennadeln war zu hören frisch geschnittene Kränze, ab und zu eine Schneeflocke, die vom Himmel herabflattert.

Der Carpe Noctem Weihnachtsmarkt ist nicht nur ein Ort zum Einkaufen; Es ist ein Erlebnis, das Ihr Herz mit der Magie der Jahreszeit erfüllt. Es ist ein Ort, um mit Freunden und Liebsten Erinnerungen zu schaffen, die Freude am Geben und Empfangen zu genießen und einfach im Moment präsent zu sein.

Fügen Sie Carpe Noctem zu Ihrer Winterreiseliste der zu besuchenden Orte hinzu. Zu finden unter:
