One of the most
beautiful regions to visit during this season is the special separate Christmas
sim put together by Ty Tenk and Truck Meridith of Calas Galadhon sims. It is always so spectacular in all
its effects from the entrance to the North Pole. When you arrive enter a sleigh
for a ride through the sparkling snow laden woods that will eventually arrive at
the Pavilion.
After you admire
all the wonderful foliage around the Pavilion and the skating lake, enter the
open doors to the great hall and turn to the right to see the package filled
Christmas tree room with its cozy tea setting. (Before you reach the room there
is a table of gifts for group members) The magnificent Tree room is just jam-packed with boxes large and small. Far across the great hall is another charming
room with cakes set out for company and a roaring fire to warm the skaters. I
always find friends sitting and chatting about the wonders of the region.
Couples dance in the great hall guarded by large toy soldiers standing at the
doorways.
Outside again, the snow is blue in the windlight and skaters fly by on
the ice solo or in couples. I took the hot air balloon ride with Daniel who was
filming a video. It travels above the ground all around the entire sim so you
can view all the decor. Then it
begins to rise slowly and passes into a “wormhole” as Daniel called it and on up
past the glowing Aurora Borealis and finally arrives at the North Pole.
A
charming village of buildings line the street there with Santa’s reindeer
resting in their stable and in front of houses. I visited the several toy
factories just filled with toys and musical instruments ready for delivery I stopped inside a home to view the
decorations, and sat on Santa’s bed (I think). The elf house was very neat with
all the beds made. They were nowhere to be found in the village or were wearing
a cloak of invisibility. There are two ways to get up here to the north pole.
The balloon ride which gives you time to relax and enjoy the trip, or if you are
short on time there is a teleport by the balloon.
The This sim is here until after
Christmas but don’t wait too long to visit or attend the parties in the
Pavilion. Dress warmly! Thanks again to Truck and Ty for their gift to the
residents of Second Life.
