Christmas wrapping machine 🎁🎁🎁

No actual info but I'd like to assume we'd get a couple weeks worth before Xmas day itself which would mean delivery by next Monday? 🤔 🤞

That would be nice if it is tomorrow 😁

Maybe SC is going to shorten the gift machine event? Last year it seemed to go on for too long. It became more of a chore than a fun event last year, especially since I hate doing boats.

I think the feeling depends on your attitude. 
If you hate boats, I absolutly understand you. 

But I don't hate boats and I liked the xmas event very much. 
I enjoyed that it was so long. So it was very relaxing for me to do boats and collect enough point for all the things I wanted to have. 
I had so many points from the previous weeks, that it was very comfortable to do for me. 

The easter event with the eggs was only two weeks and in my opinion it was to short. 
I was much more stressful (for me). By way of comparison it was very hard.

You're right, it's a feeling. I agree with arzea though. I normally ignore boats completely bc I find them annoying. They are greedy and give you little rewards.

For me the last Christmas boat event was a chore, too. Tbh, after 4 weeks I felt exhausted and was glad that it was over. I am considering whether to participate or not this time. If we get a new Wrapping Machine there will be only 2 slots. For a continuous progressing counterproductive. You have to visit your farm regularly to ensure that the output flows.

I am not willing to do this. Next question would be which rewards we'll get from SC. There were very nice booth in some vids from the content creators for Hayday but in my opinion it's not sure that we will get them all. I rather assume SC will offer the nicest booth only with a diamond package for real money.

Aside from that, I have enough winter deco, no need for more. It would be nice, yes, but not by all means.

For me the truck is annoying. 

Some boats are really greedy, yes. Especially with sugar, bread or dairy products. 
But most of the time the boats aren't as bad as it looks like. 
You have 3 helps for EACH boat. Where else do you have this? Not in town, not at the truck. 
With a good inventory and preparing during the 4 hours the most boats are doable. 

I think truck and town is often more greedy. 

And in the event it is less greedy, because each boat only can ask for 2 different product, as the third is always the gift. 

But I absolutly agree with you. The whole (was is 4?) weeks last christmas was too much. 
This was really very long. 
But eastern was too short. 

The wrapping machine looks different, so I think we don't get the slots from last year. 
But even with 2 slots it is doable. 
I haven't expanded the previous machines and it was doable. 

As soon as you chance your mind and forget about "I have to do as many boats as possible. Don't miss a boat. Don't miss a chance", it isn't annoying any more. 
Do boats in your pace. If a boat is waiting some hours, so what?! 
There is enough time to get some rewards. 

If there is a boat you don't like. Don't do it. Send it away without filling. 
You don't have to do each boat. Prepare gifts instead and you have a little inventory for the next. Or you can put it into other boats. 

Boots? You mean that Christmas market? 
For me it is sure, that this will come for the wrapping machine. And also this cute carol singers. 
This decos are also shown in the official daily news video from hayday. 

This deco is so cute. I really like it. I absolutely want this deco. 

I think we can get coins, permits, vouchers..., too. Similar to the last events with this machine. 

I myself want to have this adorable deco. 
I will concentrate on this and if there are more points possible, then I will have a look at the other rewards.

I think your guess is on point. In the German HayDay forum is of course a similar discussion about this topic. My guess is Monday, 11th of December, too.

Per contra to your statement I won't speculate about the length and variety of the upcoming event. We have to wait, what else? I have to say the communication from SC is disastrous, as usual. No communication at all....🙁

donkeyfan No need to apologize!

You are absolutly on time. 😅
I haven't been here since my last post, too.
Logged in right now and saw your post.
Perfect timing. 👍

I don't have enough time to be here every day. I'm only here every now and then.

Yes, if your fine with missing some nice things, then there is no reason to participate.

I only wanted to give some ideas how it is possible to reach some things without to much stress and to much effort.

I'm really looking forward to the event.
But I don't hate boats.

My guess:
I think and hope: Next Monday (11th).
And I think and suspect: only 2 weeks. (like it was on eastern).

From what I've seen the fact its a 'new' machine and therefore doesn't contain any previously opened slots does irk slightly.

Surely it's meant to be a fun inclusive event not a the-more-real-money-you-have-the-better-you'll-do event 🙄

I wonder, if the slots, we bought last year remains. If not, I will have learned a lesson: not to waste my diamonds on this machine. Not feeling optimistic. 😒

Oh boy, if we have to buy the slots again that will be the nail for me. At least I have a great stock of all the products needed for the gifts, thank you. Guess the holy will also drop from harvesting crops if your barn is full, instead of the standard drops.

will only last till 21st December and no chick vouchers? I prefer last years edition if this is true.

I just viewed the video about the Wrapping Machine published by Ricky Burnett who said the event is coming tomorrow too.  

I am guessing it means like the saying "the nail in the coffin" as in the event will be dead on arrival, and won't be participated in and/or won't be opening new slots again!

Thank goodness for this forum! I wouldn’t have known to go look for Ricky’s video without finding out about it here. It was especially helpful to learn what the products and crops needed for the gift boxes would be. Happily, I’ve finished my derby tasks for the week, so I can load up my machines with cookies and pizza (both on the same machine 👎🏻), start stockpiling milk, save up lemons, and buy up lots of pumpkins, lilies, cotton, and strawberries in the market.

I do love decor, so I work for those. It’s nice that the snowball fight can be out longer than just the holidays. Like Ricky says in his video, we need another animal behind another pile of snow so there can be a real contest! Maybe next year.
