New Year's Eve 2025

 
By Bixyl Shuftan
 
December 31 2025 was the last day of the year, New Year's Eve. And in various places, people celebrated the old year going out, and the new one going in.
 

At 2 PM, there was a formal party at the Chateau Trikassi Ballroom in Wooburn. 
 

The men and women were dressed quite elegantly there. 
 

At 4PM, Club Zero Gravity started it's New Year's Eve party. 
 

 DJ Rose played the tunes while wearing a very sparkly silver dress. 
 

 At 6PM. Club Cutlass would have it's party. 
 

 DJ Perri played the music for the crowd.
 

 Hostess DeniseUnicorn Toonie had out a party balloon dropper. After a few seconds, they popped in showers of colorful sparks.
 

 Later they were changed to be less flashy.
 
 

 The contest prize money, ten thousand Linden dollars, was shared by five people that night: Gil Otared, Rififi, Cynthia Farshore, Fortunas Sands, and Kylee Gracemount. 
 

 At 8PM came the main event for both the Sunweaver and Caledonian communities: the New Years Eve bash at the Goblin Cave. 
 

 Cynthia Farshore, the owner of Caledon Downs and the Goblin Cave, DJed for the event. 
 

 When the clock got close to 9 SL time, a ball started lowering, and hit the bottom when the New Year chimed in for the East Coast. 
 

 And fireworks would go off outside.
 

 It was quite a light show.
 

 As the night went on, the party would ring in the New Year as more time zones hit Midnight. 
 

 Finally at Midnight SL time, Cynthia Farshore would end the party with playing Caledonia's anthem.
 

 The Happy Vixen would hold an impromptu, unscheduled party for New Years.
 

 DJ Charlee would spin the tunes as the club did it's part in ringing in the new year.
 

 Last but not least, I would check out the Prim Drop Party at Bay City
 

 Marianne McCann would play the music for the party.
 

 

 I didn't arrive in time to see the Prim Drop itself, but there was the Conga Line, and plenty of fun chatter. 
 

 It was a fun close for New Year's Eve.
 

 Happy 2026 everyone. Here's to a good year, in and out of Second Life.

Christmas at The Goblin Cave And The Happy Vixen

 *
By Bixyl Shuftan


As Christmastime approached, various communities and places held parties. Among them was the Goblin Cave at Caledon Downs, hosted by Cynthia Farshore, which held it's event at Tuesday December 21st from 6 to 8 PM.


Come join us at the Goblin Cave Tuesday the 21st at 6 PM as DJ Cynthia presents Abby Normal's Christmas Dance, a selection selected twisted tunes, funny or odd.  Parodies, offbeat, just generally funny like Bob Rivers. Join us at the Goblin Cave in Cynthia's Winter wonderland region. Feel free to explore. She has decorated the whole region with Christmas.


Cynthia was on the dance floor with everyone as the music played. 


There was a mix of tunes from traditional Christmas fare, and the not so traditional such as "Santa Clause Is Watchin'" You by Ray Stevens, "I Came Upon a Roadkill Deer" "It's the Most Fattening Time of the Year" and "Didn't I Get This Last Year" by Bob Rivers, "A Pirate Christmas" and "We Need A Little Krampus" by Tom Smith, "Rusty Chevrolet" by Da Yoopers, and others. 


 

There were avatars of all kinds from the festive,

To the small.


At the end of the party, "Caledonia," the unofficial anthem of the Caledon community, was played.


On Wednesday December 22, the Happy Vixen would hold it's Christmas party, Nydia Tungsten's "Twisted Christmas" event.

Today is the day, the day we throw up our arms and scream to the heavens NO MORE! We have been Christmas'd to death starting November 1st So if you are as fed up as I am come to my "Twisted Christmas" event, (make sure the kiddies are out of the room) as we poke fun and holes into the "Christmas spirit" of course I mean the shopping spirit, it all starts at 7pm SLT TONIGHT at THV. 

The event was a poke at the over-comercialization of Christmas, shopping malls hyping holiday sales as early as October, as well as the constant Christmas jingles that made the normally cheerful songs seem rather sachrine. And "DJ Naughty Nydia" played a Christmas set as only she could, with various parodies from mild to wild to "What the f***?!" They ranged from Mike Rowe's "Santa's Gotta Dirty Job." to "Al Bundy's Christmas Poem," to "Flu Ride" by Bob Rivers, "It's the Most God-Awful Time of the Year" by John Lovitz, "Grandpa Got Run Over By a Beer" by Weird Al Yankovic, "Grandma Got Knocked Up By A Reindeer" by Shockwave, and some we can't even list the song titles here.

As always, Nydia was the DJ for the event. She joined her partner Brandi in wearing a mousegirl avie.


And a couple others joined them at the front of the dance floor in anthro mice looks. 

"Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse..." she would say in group chat, "MAY *SS! We got FOUR of them shaking their BUTTS!"


 There were plenty of people in Christmasy outfits, some cheeky, and some more traditional. 

Not everyone had a Christmasy look, but it was all in the name of fun.

Nydia would put up some naughty and cheeky cartoons, many of which we can't show unless they came out blurry. She also put up some drunken reindeer and "Frisky the Snowman" made an appearance, making cheesy pick-up lines at the girls, "You must be from Tennessee! Because you are the only TEN I see!" "Did you get those pants on sale? Cause if they were at my house they would be 100 percent off." "Oh no not the naughty snowman!" the girls facepalmed. 


A few of Nydia's tunes were so off the wall, they left some people "floored."

Someone tried flying like one of Santa's reindeer.

It didn't quite work.


After the two hours were up, Nydia changed back to vixen, and there was some funning around, such as with this old "Carmeldansen" cube.



Nydia being angelic.

And a look Nydia doesn't show often, the character she named herself after from her "Switched Destinies" novel, "One of my (close friends), Jian, made an avi of her. I am SO proud of it. I only wear it for special occasions, so I don't soil her image (laughter)."

There would be other Christmas parties, such as the one at Club Cutlass on Friday night. But there's not enough room to describe those in detail as well. 

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year
