We followed up the Winter collection release with the release of some fun decorative KittyCatS and new festive Santa Hats!

Finally, we ended the month with the release of the special Snowball collectible KittyCat which was our complimentary gift to the Second Life community that was featured as the final gift of our 2012 Holiday Advent Calendar.

We’ve had so much fun with our Advent Holiday Gift Calendar this year! Many, many thanks goes to all of the wonderful content creators who have participated this year and provided gifts to the SL community. But it is December 24th, and it is time for the final gift! As a “Thank You” to the SL community, we’ve created this special collectible KittyCat just for all of you!

These Snowballs are non-transfer and are limited to one per avatar. These are a limited, one-time gift to the SL community, and will be available for FREE in the KittyCatS Advent Calendar until January 10th, 2013 at the KittyCatS Main Store, KittyCatS Winterland and other KittyCats and Friends Advent Calendar locations. 🙂

On behalf of all of us at KittyCatS, we want to wish everyone in SL a happy and safe holiday. May the holidays bring you joy and the New Year every blessing! 🙂
