Greetings Everyone ;-)This post is a little late! Getting ready for Christmas in RL and SL was a complete rush in the end, and although I managed to sort things out in both worlds, by Christmas Day I was pretty much ready to drop, hahahaha.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year and I wanted Laminak to have some really special things on offer. There should have been more, but I guess I'll save these ideas for next year, in the end, I created some Christmas beds, candles, signs, hot cocoa pots, and banquet sets.
They're all at different events, landmarks in my inworld profile pics, but here are the pics ;-)
At We Love Roleplay Event - I have a new Banquet Set.
In a warm Mid Oak wood texture, it comes with a table and chairs and provides 13 different food options, Starters, Mains and Deserts as well as Cutlery.
There are 8 different chair fabrics to choose from - each sold separately.
There's also a Gothic Black Banquet Set, which comes with a table and chairs and food as detailed above - 8 different chair fabrics to choose from (each sold separately) - Saturnalia Event.
Also at the Saturnalia event and the Drunken Elf Event are a range of Christmas Candles. 4 Metals to choose from, they're sold in a fat pack with 3 different candle colours - Red, Green, and Cream.
There's a special Yule Market at Saturnalia Event, all items 100L or less, the candles above and these Christmas Logs are Laminaks offering for this part of the event. Available in 3 candle colours, Red, Green, and Cream for 100L of buy the Fatpack with all 3 candle colours and the bonus mixed candles version for 200L.
Saturnalia is the ancient pagan festival that morphed into Christmas, the event organizers explain this far better than I ever could so here's a link to their website:

They used to use a lot of Antlers in their decorations, incidentally, this is also when Yule Logs were first used, although we now prefer the chocolate variety ;-), so I've created a range of Antler Wall Sconces, again in 4 metals and 3 candle options.
We're also in Second Life Shop and Hop, and although these beds will be placed in storage and the new versions of the Oak Opera Beds released in the new year, I've created Christmas Bedding versions. The Beds come with 8 bedding options in texture changer and are 50% off whilst the event runs.
Another wood version of the Opera Beds is a Vintage White Oak. Again, currently, just in Christmas textures this too has the 8 bedding options and is available with 50% off at Santa's Workshop event.
Also at the main store and the with 50% off at the SL Shop and Hop event is a range of Christmas signs. only 1Li each they come in fatpacks either in a texture changer or as a box set of individual items.
Almost finished ;-) I have created a vintage Hot Cocoa Pot and Cup Set, in 3 metals.
The Gold is exclusive to the Drunken Elf event, the Silver and Raven versions are a new release for the store. These and the Gothic Black Banquet sets will be the only things remaining in the store after Christmas, the rest will go into storage until next year ;-)
And Finally - as a special 'Thank You' for helping me make this first year back with Laminak so special, I've placed a gift box on the 'Knight's Armour' display stand in the store. It contains a 500L Group Gift Card that you can use on any item in a Casper Vendor at the main store or any event that we're in! If you're not already in the group you'll need to join - there is a 250L fee for joining the group, but group members receive 10% off all year round at the main store, so there are some big savings to be made.
I think that's it! at least for this year ;-)
I hope 2021 proves to be a better year than 2020 has!
I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and that the rest of the festivities are happy and filled with fun and good times with your SL and RL family and friends.
Much love to you all.
Safe Paths
Casey
