Happy Snowlight Bash everyone! It's starting to get cold outside and snow, but the xyns are still out and about nonetheless! There are beautiful auroras floating in the sky constantly, so a lot of xyns spend time outside following the auroras. Xyns are known to exchange gifts, cards and other treats around this time! The early snow brings cozy clothes into fashion and xyns are always trying to look fabulous! Sledding, snowxyn making and cocoa competitions are starting, the main cities are decorated with lights, xyns love this jolly season!
