Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today will be a special Thanksgiving update!

I hope you all had a great Turkey Day, and still feel really stuffed like I do.
On to Animal Jam!

Well, today's Thanksgiving. (Obviously). There wasn't really anything special that happened today on Animal Jam, as to be expected- they already brought out the items and gave us everything Thanksgiving in the update last Sunday. But let's go over a couple things that come every Thanksgiving- a lot of which barely anyone ever gets.

Who loves the Turkey Hat? No one. Or pretty close, anyway. It's a silly hat of- you guessed it- a turkey. It's not even that good, either. It has buttons for eyes, is sewed together, and the colors are really bad. Why? Who knows! But it comes every Thanksgiving and can be used to dress silly or crazy, so therefore can't be all bad.

And then there's the Pilgrim Hat. Great for reenactments, but who does that on Animal Jam? This hat is a crudely-cut brown hat with a yellow buckle on it, but no belt. It comes with two cream colored triangles that serve as the neck piece. Overall, not a popular choice, and even I can't figure out what someone would decide this would be good for. I guess they just put it in to honor our forefathers, or something.

The Fruit Bowl! This has come out for the past two years and came out, once again, this year. It normally lasts a little bit longer than the aforementioned hats, and is definitely more popular. It's used for feasts, dinner tables, decorations, you name it, you can find it in someone's den. It's a silver bowl filled to the brim with an apple, an orange, a pineapple, a banana, and two grapevines. It's an interactive object, and each fruit can be clicked to be "eaten." Click the bowl itself to refill it.

The rake and leaf pile came out last year, but only as a normal leaf pile. This year, they added a rake. Personally, I preferred it without a rake, but that may just be my opinion for what I was doing with it. Perhaps those who are just using it as a decoration for their den's yard would enjoy it a tad bit more. All in all, it's a pretty self-explanatory object. It's interactive, too; you can click the rake to sweep up a couple leaves. Other than that it's relatively basic.

So those are the three most common annual items, although this year they've come out with several new things- a Cornucopia, which I'm sure people will like, a Fall Wreath, and a String Of Leaves. These are less Thanksgiving based, bordering more on the lines of just Fall Items, but they're definitely new. I'm looking forward to using them and other items in this coming November/December.

Happy Thanksgiving!
