Right now, I've got three to five essays that I need to complete for college applications, as well as some other forms to fill out. Today, when I heard that Wintersday starts the 21st, it's given me a deadline that I want to achieve, so that I can waste my entire winter break on Snowball.
Xylias Spiritbound is ready to go for Gosu Skillz, and who am I to deny him?
If at all possible, I'd like to get a new prestige armor for him and decorate him in the festive colors of red and green. If I'm really lucky, I'll get him a Dread Mask, to be a temporary replacement to his Dragon Mask.
How's everyone else preparing for Wintersday?
Edit: By the looks of it, it seems like I'm the only one who's busy these days. =|
Wintersday is the 21st. How are you getting ready?

I'm not. I'm just letting it come then do what I do there.

I'm preparing for Wintersday by farming for all the various things that the Wintersday collectors take. I want to get as big a collection of holiday alcohol as I can, so that my mesmer can get closer to being an Incorrigible Ale-Hound. At the same time I'm also looking out for special drops so I can give some of my guildies a green or something else nice as a holiday present.

I'm getting ready by doing.... nothing. All I do is play in the snowball arena. Not sure how I can prepare for that.

I've been farming various things like Ornate Grawl Necklaces, Decayed Orr Emblems, Singed Gargoyle Skulls and Charr Carvings off an on for sometime. I have around 400 necklaces right now. I'm assuming the same collectibles will be used yet again this year. If the stuff I've collected so far isn't used then no big deal, but if it is then I have a good start on candy canes and what not.
I've found farming necklaces to be the most fruitful collectible to farm from previous events.

I'll be starting my singed gargoyal skulls, and orr emblam farming rituals soon. I want to stock back up on Candy.

I'm sitting and waiting, then when it comes out, I'll sit in Ascalon City all day.. It's so beautiful covered in snow.

Nothing really. I put a small amount of gold away for the festivites.

Counting my stacks of Wintersday collectables.

That said, I will probably farm a few Orr Emblems and singed gargoyle skulls. Although none of my characters really need the xp I'll probably do all the quests. I might actually mod my Wintergreen Shield and use it to make me feel festive.

/on topic. Yeh I'm glad I kept mine, not sure if they'll be doing them again.

I'm getting ready by racking hours up on my demoman.

I may dye my ranger's fur-lined armor red...but it's black now so I'm kinda leery on that.
Otherwise, I'll just keep collecting stuff for the collectors and load up on candy.

Im preparing by starting a goal of having Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer finished by Wintersday. ^^ Im at 96.2% now, I was at 90% this afternoon when I really got started working on it. ^^ My college classes end on the 17th so I will get freetime just beforehand. ^^

ive never been in a winters day event so i have no idea HOW to prepare lol, ill just rock up and have some fun. the snowball event seems to be a favorite but i have no idea what it is.
OI-812
I'm getting prepared by moving all of my characters out of the capital cities. Screw Wintersday and all its wonderful spam and lag. I have better things to do.

before the end of the year I want to:
finish prot of elona on my main ele (she has 2 missions left), cap some rit skills on my rit boy and get him thru the last 2 nightfall missions, finish nundu bay with my paragon, get my 2nd ele to amnoon (she is at the wilds now), same for my warrior (she is almost to denravi I think), get r5 norn on my tyrian lady monk (she just got to eton yesterday), finish norn quests with 2 mesmers and my main male monk (they have done the story line, now just doing the side ones), get my ranger thru unwaking waters (just finished eternal grove)....and if I have time do some farming for kurzick points and for plat for armors for 6 characters.
in real life??? have to get my christmas cards out, finish my shopping for my hubbys family (my family is already done and wrapped), and some accounting stuff.
Not much. Already have the gargoyle skulls, charr carvings, etc saved up from a few of my new characters doing the starter tyria missions....want to get rid of them so I can free up space on my mules (will be happier when canthan new years is over for that too----saved lots of 'collector' junk from last years)

upier
I'll try to get my survivor to tier 3 before the event starts because the game will prolly lag as hell then and I REALLY don't want to risk it with that!
Although I would really love to start my new warrior after that ... so in the end I actually might even risk it!
Ahh we'll see!

As I gave up on the activity titles (goodbye, r6 koabd 
), I do not really need either eggnog nor sweets.
But the official page stated to keep our candy canes till the great finale. Any ideas for what?
There are rumors (the thread is/was in Riverside iirc) of a ice bear minipet that has been added to the .dat file.
