CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
'Twas the night before the Hunt, when all through the house,
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
One creature was stirring, the Great Giftnapper Mouse.
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
He was spiteful and mean and as greedy as can be,
 
With an insatiable craving for more than just brie!
 
  
It was gifts that he wanted and certainly not to share,
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
He wanted them all for himself, not a one would he spare!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
So he climbed down the chimneys of each house on the street,
 
Stealing all of their gifts, very sneaky and discrete.
 
  
He made off like a bandit, into the cold winter night,
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
So the residents would awake to an unfestive sight.
 
He left those poor houses all empty and bare,
 
Then hid himself away, no one quite knows where.
 
  
He travelled the kingdom, hiding every stolen gift,

----
From Queso Geyser all the way to Furoma Rift.
 
Without gifts, Gnawnia was turning dreary and glum,
 
Until lo and behold, the Festive Comet had come!
 
  
The Magical Snow Golems had returned just in time,

These creatures are more than just friendly and cute,

They're also amazing at gathering loot!

So send your golems on the journey of the year,
+
<blockquote>
And return all the gifts to spread holiday cheer.
 
Once the gifts are returned, it will be time to confront,
 
The Great Giftnapper Mouse and save the Great Winter Hunt!
 
 
 
====Constructing Snow Golems====
 
 
 
Visit the Festive Comet where the snow is not only the perfect packing consistency to create snow golems, but also magically enchanted to bring those golems to life! Start by gathering some Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino Cheese and then arm it to attract a variety of mice that drop snow golem parts. Once you find a Snow Golem Head, Snow Golem Torso, and four Snow Golem Limbs you'll be able to construct a golem to send out on a gift and loot recovery mission!
 
 
 
 
 
Once sent out, your golems will return in '''25 hunts time''' not only with a bundle of loot from the areas you sent them to, but also with a stash of Recovered Gifts. Return these gifts to their rightful owners via the heads-up display and you'll find that they have left out a tray of M.I.L.K. and Cookies as a show of thanks for your part in playing Santa.
 
 
 
 
 
That cool glass of Mechanically Invigorating Liquid Krypton is just what your golems crave! You can use the M.I.L.K. and Cookies to upgrade your golem generators to create stronger golems capable of bringing back more Recovered Gifts along with a greater quantity and quality of loot items!
 
 
 
*'''100 Glazed Pecan Pecorino'''

*'''Magical Winter Hunt Holiday Hat'''
 
:Adds 3 exceptional items to ANY golem
 
*'''Festive Summoning Bell'''
 
:INSTANTLY return a golem!
 
*'''15 Let It Snow Charms'''
 
:Start looting the MOST Golem Parts!
 
 
 
====Nabbing the Giftnapper====
 
 
 
Keep returning Recovered Gifts to the houses along your route and you'll eventually catch the Great Giftnapper red-handed! Each time you apprehend this stealthy swindler you'll recover a piece of Plain Wrapping Paper. Although unremarkable at first, this Plain Wrapping Paper can be crafted into more festive varieties via the heads-up display. By decorating your camp site with these festive wrapping papers you can attract similarly themed breeds of Great Winter Hunt event mice.
 
 
 
 
 
There are four varieties of festive wrapping paper to create and decorate your camp with, each attracting different mice that drop Festive Sugar Cookies! These sweet treats are a favourite of the various festive shop keepers and as such, they are offering some very special rewards in exchange for Sugar Cookies.

'''Nice Lists''' are not as difficult and less rewarding. You and your map mates will have to track down a variety of event mice, but none that require HUD decorations. These are great when first getting started.
 
 
 
'''Naughty Lists''' are more difficult but also more rewarding! To complete these maps you'll potentially need to have unlocked all the unique HUD decorations by capturing the Great Giftnapper several times.

Passing Parcels
 
 
 
Back by popular demand! These parcels cost 50,000 gold and can be sent as gifts to friends via the gifting interface. Each Passing Parcel has been repeatedly wrapped an unknown number of times. Upon receiving a parcel, open it to either find an item or another wrapped gift that must be forwarded to another friend. The charms inside the Passing Parcel have been given a refresh and include varieties of Snowball Charms, Rift Charms, and Winter Charms, just to name a few.
 
 
 
Winter Aura
 
 
 
Each time a Snow Golem returns it will extend the duration of the Winter Aura. This festive enchantment adds +5 Luck to your trap and gives mice a chance to drop a variety of festive loot items, including Winter Hunt Gift Boxes depending on your Hunter Title. Looking for lower-tier gift boxes? Carefully use the Hunter's Hammer to crush the box into a lower tier and just hope there wasn't anything fragile inside!

The Great Winter Hunt is just around the corner and in what has become a Gnawnian tradition, the Winter Hunt Advent Calendar will return on December 1. Every day from December 1 to December 24, hunters can open a new door on the Advent Calendar to reveal a tasty Advent Chocolate as well as a unique bonus item if they open the door on the same day!
 
 
 
Opening a door on the Advent Calendar will '''always''' reward an Advent Chocolate which you will be able to exchange during the Great Winter Hunt for festive-themed trap skins, journal themes, and more.
 
 
 
If you open a door on the same day that it unlocks, you'll also find a bonus reward alongside your chocolate! You'll find a wide variety of items as bonus rewards including SUPER|brie+, Wild Tonic, Rare Map Dust, and powerful charms, just to name a few. There truly is something for everyone, so make sure to check in each day from December 1 to December 24 to see what bonus item the Advent Calendar has to offer!
 
 
 
When the time comes, a banner will appear in the camp section if you have a reward to claim from the Advent Calendar. You'll find the banner above your journal if playing from a web browser or at the bottom of the camp section if playing from the mobile app.

That brisk wind blowing from the North has the distinct fresh scent of holiday cheer which can only mean one thing: The Great Winter Hunt is nearly here! Although as often is the case, the news is not being celebrated by several "humbug" mice. Reports have already come in from around the Kingdom of gift wrapping supplies being stolen and other holiday hijinks. One early theory points to a particular mouse bent on keeping every gift for themselves by stashing them away in hidden hidey-holes throughout the Kingdom!
 
 
 
As reports of gift theft continue to rise, the King will no doubt soon need the help of hunters (and some magical Snow Golems) to track down this thief and return the stolen gifts to their rightful owners.
 
 
 
Check back on December 1 to open the first door of the Advent Calendar!
