Holiday Highlight – Grinch Gardens
Our Holiday Highlight series is back this week featuring Grinch Gardens located on Frosty Island in the virtual world There.com. Flying high above the neighborhood on a hoverpack, one can see that the holiday homes lined up along the outskirts of the snow-covered community have bright and festive lights while the gardens in the center of the neighborhood are dark and dreary.
The townspeople have been busy spreading joy by decorating their homes and outdoor spaces for the holidays. Meanwhile, their cranky neighbor hides away from all of the Christmas cheer on top of an extremely tall tower at the center of town. Neighbors have lit up the community with decorative twinkle lights, while their most cantankerous resident prefers to live in darkness.
Every once in a while, the townsfolk can convince their grumpy neighbor to leave his cave and join them for dinner at the Reindeer Lodge or out for an evening of ice skating. He’s been known to take a dip in the hot tub at his neighbor’s house when the mood strikes. Although the Grinch pretends to be a big meanie, the townspeople know under all that green fur and tough guy talk that he’s a real softy.
One of the highlights of the neighborhood is the giant bah humbug snowman that the Grinch built in the gardens. The snowman’s top hat makes for a perfect observation deck overlooking the island of Frosty. The fire is cozy, and the views are fantastic! If you get a chance, stop by Grinch Gardens and fly up to the top of the giant snowman for the greatest view in town. Most likely you’ll run into the Grinch or one of the townspeople since the top hat is their favorite place to connect with neighbors and friends for fireside chats.
The Grinch Gardens community is working on putting together a special event called Don’t Let the Grinch Get You. It is a fun scavenger hunt where participants have to locate a tiny ornament hidden in one of the many homes in the community. Members have to teleport from house to house to search for the ornament without stepping foot in the neighborhood. At the beginning of the event the Grinch will put all of the participants on his Ignore list so if they do step inside the neighborhood they will get booted to no man’s land and have to start over. Check the Activities page for special Grinch Gardens events if you’d like to go on an exciting holiday scavenger hunt with friends.
The community will also be hosting the upcoming Scroogeland games. This fun and exciting holiday game is used with a large avatar-sized boardgame. Participants roll the dice, follow instructions and proceed to walk through the game pieces on the oversized board. The game is tons of fun to play with a big group of people. Grab your friends and sign up for Scroogeland board game events at Grinch Gardens.
Once you take a tour all of the holiday homes in Grinch Gardens, you’ll most likely want to build your own winter wonderland. Unleash your inner decorator and explore the holiday-themed auctions where members can purchase an array of festive goodies. Whether you’re into classic wreaths, elegant candles, or beautifully wrapped gifts, There.com’s Auctions have every type of holiday decoration you might fancy. Elevate your virtual living space with treasures that capture the joy of the season.
Here are a few of the Grinch’s favorite decorations in the neighborhood.
Log in now and explore the wonders of Grinch Gardens in your favorite virtual world There.com. Grab some hot cocoa and friends and take a tour of the festive community. Stroll by the charming gingerbread factory or step into the magical barn and meet Santa’s reindeer.
