Happy New Year!

Greetings, and happy new year Jammers! Today is the last day for Jamaaliday gifts, so let's hope it is good!


First, our final Jamaaliday gift for this year:

Not bad, not bad at all! For all those who like icicles, you are in luck- this makes for a great decoration!

Next, our new items:

Alas! More evil snowmen! I wouldn't feel comfortable while sitting on this throne, mainly because of how uncomfortable it would be to have a carrot jabbing into the back of your head at all times. Also because it feels like you are sitting on their lap. And they are very happy about it. Shudder..
For those who would like to have this item, however, it can be yours for 1250 gems! Get one at Epic Wonders!

 We also have the pile of snowballs, sold for 350 gems in Jam Mart Furniture. Since when must you buy snow? Well, I must admit these are perfect snowballs... I'll let you off the hook this time AJHQ.

And now for the party items (these are all sold in various locations within the New Year's Party)

Finally, the factual part of this post:

Our wondrous word of the day:
Conundrum: A confusing and difficult problem or question.
So in essence, a conundrum is a tricky riddle? I like the word though: conundrum!

Our fantastic fact of the day:
The world's oldest piece of chewing gum (that has been discovered) is over 9000 years old!

Wow. No other words, just wow.
 
Thinking Question: What do you think is going on in this other castle? Tell me in the comments, I would like to hear your thoughts!

Have a wonderful New Year!

The Giant Snow Globe and New Years Party!

Greetings Jammers! Sorry about how late this post is! I hadn't checked my email until a few minutes ago, when I realized that I had been requested to write! (I should really check my mail more often, shouldn't I?)

Due to this, the post today will be shorter than usual. Let's get blogging!


Our gift today is the Giant Snow Globe, a returning item.

I think this is a very cute item, though I would prefer a smaller version of it. It really seems to capture the essence of Animal Jam- having fun and playing wild! Wait a moment... What if those poor animals have been petrified and trapped in a snow globe- doomed to spend eternity as a simple decoration! Those nasty phantoms!

All of today's new items are located in the New Years Eve Party- including many of the items that left during the year. Time to stock up on your items, Jammers!

I am sorry for the bad quality of this post, but I do not have enough time to write a full-scale review of the update. My apologies, again! I cannot say sorry enough!


Adventure Awaits!

More Evil Snowmen, and Rare Jamaaliday Earmuffs!

Greetings!

I am sorry to say, that today's gift is a returning item. However, it is yet another extremely evil item: the inflatable snowman! Behold, your worst nightmare: this evil snowman will not melt under normal conditions! He also does not have a cord like many other snowmen making him difficult to destroy! He also 'innocently' sways around when you place him- pure evil.

Now wait just one minute. How do you suppose you stick real sticks on an inflatable snowman? Hmm. I blame the yeti.

Strange, though I may be, admit it: if you were walking down the sidewalk and this thing appeared behind you suddenly, you would most likely be running for your life!

Next, the much-less-evil rare item of the day: the Jamaaliday Earmuffs, sold for 1000 gems! Now that is one expensive pair of earmuffs- though they are topped by the Snowflake Tiara and Snowflake Crown which are both sold in the same shop for more gems.  Buy this today in Jam Mart Clothing!

I never had a problem with the Jamaaliday Earmuffs, I actually like them. The colours on this pair are perfect for the season- I think this is a pretty good rare!

And now for the factual part of this post:

Our word-liciously wordy word of the day:
Anachronism: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period of time other than that in which it exists.
Now there's a word you don't usually hear!

Our factorifically facty fact of the day, given to us by piggoesoink:
There is a city named Rome on every continent.
Now here is an extra tidbit of information for you. You may know that Rome has been hailed 'the most successful empire in history', up to its final downfall. During this time, Rome conquered many nations, and ruled over a vast amount of land. To put this into perspective: someone living in Scotland, and someone living in Egypt, were still 'in Rome'. My theory, is that many places were named Rome because of how much influence the original Rome had on human life. How interesting!

Thank you piggoesoink for that information!

Adventure Awaits!

Evil Snowman Fridge, Snow Fort Pennant, and Jammer Sundae #17

Greetings! Today we have another Jammer Sundae, but before that we must post about what we need to post about!

We have an unspeakably evil gift today- I do not blame you if you are terrified of it. Behold! The Snowman Fridge!!!

Look at that evil face- turn your back on it and it shall surely plan your demise! You may laugh now, but I know pure evil when it looks me right in the eyes. Just you wait, you, evil fridge you! You may smirk evilly at me now, but just you wait! Mark my words, 'snowman', your end is nearer than you think!

Do not question my perception of the world. It is for your own sake.

Your end has come!

Yes, I have issues. No, I do not feel the need to sort them out right at this moment.

Next, our new item: sold for 400 gems in Jam Mart Furniture: David Tennant, the Snowfort Pennant!
This item is non-member, colour-changable, and overall not bad! Even if you don't use it for snow forts, you can still use them as regular flags! I even got a yellow & black one myself!

It is now time for:

This week, we will look at photos of cute animals, and die of cuteness! Only joking, though we will be viewing: Cute Animals!

"Is it safe to touch the ground?"  

Next, we need to be very quiet, as some little guys are asleep!

How adorable!

Next, we have some ducks going for a swim:

Finally, a photo that tops all:

"They call me..."
*dramatic pause*
El Guineo!



And now for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Vocation: A strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation.

How fascinating it is, that you change one single letter of a word, and you get an entirely different meaning! Vacation and Vocation have entirely different meanings, yet are spelled almost the same!

Finally, our fact of the day:

You held a world record once- the second you were born, you held the record of being the youngest person on Earth! 

Go on, think about it!

Adventure Awaits!

Poofy Rug and Snow Fort Corner Wall

Hey Jammers! How has your Christmas Vacation been going? Have you gone anywhere, or did anything? 

As usual, let's start off with the new Jamaaliday Gift and we will work our way down from there. 

Well, let's just say this is.. different? 

WHAT IS THIS? IM SORRY BUT THAT FACE IS CREEPING ME OUT. Oh wait..

Okay, that's a lot better. The face will probably appear in a couple of days (I hope not I like this item). And if it does, I have came prepared with my recycling bin. 

The two new lovely items today are great! You can make a snowfort out of them and hide with your buddies! Kinda like the Christmas movie, Home Alone.

Oh, and you can get this in Jam-Mart Furniture. 

Actually thinking about it, Animal Jam has been really glitchy. For example, this monster rug turned out to be a nice white poofy rug. Yesterday people had that cave in their inventory already when they logged in!

GUYS. ITS THE YETI.

THE YETI ON THE RUG. THAT CAVE, THAT WAS HIS CAVE. THOSE EYES, HIS EYES.

HE'S CAUSING IT! AND SOON HE IS GOING TO DESTROY JAMAA!!!

Just kidding, I just felt making a story about a yeti. It's like it actually does happen two days later and we are all laughing about it now, heh.

Hey, but don't forget there is a Daily Explorer post!

Okay so by the looks of this, a giant marshmallow was stuffed with a flashlight.

...

GENIUS

Here is a link to make your own!

 http://dailyexplorer.animaljam.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ConstellationMaker.pdf

Well, that's all for today folks. See you in Jamaa!

Yeti Face and Ice Cave?

Greetings! I hope that you were able to enjoy Christmas yesterday, whether you got together with relatives, stayed at home, attended a Christmas party, or just relaxed! The great thing is, we still have  Jamaliday gifts for a few more days!

Hmm? Well it seems that I, along with every jammer I spoke to this morning, got a strange daily spin (no prize!), and no Jamaaliday gift! However, I checked my inventory and there was an Ice Cave there. I am assuming this is a mishap when releasing the item, and it simply ended up in my inventory. Nevertheless, here is the item:

It appears to be a very shiny cave at first, but every so often a strange yeti peeks out. I think this would go well with the crystal mine at the bottom of the Crystal Palace den.

There is an item sold in the Shiveer Shoppe for 400 gems. I believe this is not today's new item, however, as I have seen one person wearing it several days before this post was written. Here it is:

Hmm, quite creepy.

I have checked everywhere, and it seems that at this time, there are currently no new items. If you happen to come across one at a later time, feel free to let me know its name and where it is sold, and I shall make an update to this post!


And now for the factual part of this post:

Our wondrous word of the day:
Erstwhile: former

I have never heard this word in my life until now! How fascinating, all these words slowly become unused until they eventually fade away!


Our factual fact of the day:
It is apparently impossible to sneeze with your eyes open the entire time.
Well that's interesting! Useless, but interesting!


Happy Holidays!

Gingerbread Wings, Sleigh Runway, and Jamaaliday Necklace!

Season's Greetings, and a very merry Christmas Morning to you! What did you get for Christmas? Something you like very much, I hope!

Mldriver has plans for today, and has asked me if I would be able to post instead, so here I am! You can look forward to read another one of Mldriver's wonderful posts this Saturday! Until then, you are stuck with me (muha)!

The great thing about playing Animal Jam is that during the Christmas Season (or the Jamaalidays) is that you get gifts even online- and they are for everyone! I am very excited to see what we have in store for today!

Our gift of the day: The Gingerbread Wings! I really like this item. It looks great, is for all jammers, and depending on what colour variation you get looks not at all like gingerbread (unfortunately, I got a gingerbread coloured one XD)

We also have a number of items to talk about. Here they are:

Sold for 500 gems in Jam Mart Furniture, we have the Sleigh Runway! I am a little bit disappointed, I thought AJHQ would release a new item on Christmas Morning, but that's okay! This item works well with pets!

Finally, the Jamaaliday Necklace sold in Bahari Bargains. Light up like a Christmas tree for your friends with this item!

And now, for our Holiday Edition of the factual part of this post!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our winter-iffic word of the day:

Corn: -

"Now, like, hold on Arctic! We like all know what corn is. It's like that yellow vegetable stuff."

I am aware of that. But this is a different type of corn, and it is more 'farmer vocabulary'. May I get back to my definition now?

"Sure."


Ahem.

Corn: Coarse, granular, wet snow formed by cycles of melting and re-freezing.

"Oh... Well you've really gotta be more like specific and stuff, Arctic."

Sigh. Anywho, now you learned a little something about snow! Also, thank you for your input, Red. I will be sure to work on that. 

"No probz man!"

I am not a man...

Our festive fact of the day: (the puns, the puns!)

The song "Jingle Bells" was actually a song originally written for Thanksgiving. The song was composed in 1857 by James Pierpoint, and it was originally titled: "One Horse Open Sleigh".

How interesting! It is amazing what you can learn when you just take the time to research! Also that was technically a two-in-one fact...
 
"That is, like, sick. It's so rad, man!"

Once again, I am not a man.

"Like, chill bro."

Why do I bother?

"I dunno, why DO you bother anyways?"

That was a rhetorical question.

"Pshh, whatevs."
  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      


Hmm... Did you enjoy my dialogue with "Red"? If so, I might do that more often during some of my posts- perhaps on Jammer Sundaes!

That is all for today's post, my friends! I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Gingerbread Tophat, Snowman Mask, Gift Pile, Snow Tree, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Seasons Greetings!

During the Jamaalidays, we are given plenty of wonderful, non-member gifts from AJHQ. Not only are we blessed with gifts, we are blessed with items. May your Christmas be wonderful!

What do we have today? Let us go see!

Our gift of the day, presented by Animal Jam is Gingerbread Tophat! I like this item very much. It comes in a variety of different colours, my favourite of which is brown. It is also a bit smaller on animals than regular tophats. The best part is: now non-members can also wear tophats!

Next, we have three items to cover!

First, the Giant Gift Pile and the Phantom Snow Tree, sold in Jam Mart Furniture:

Very nice AJHQ, very nice!

Next, a favourite of many: The Snow Man Mask! Welcome back this wonderful item!

And now for our Holiday Edition of the factual part of this post:

Our wonderful word of the day:

Now many of us have heard the word "Yuletide" in Christmas Carols. But what does the word really mean?

Yuletide: An old word for Christmas

Is that so?

Finally, our fascinating fact of the day:

All of the gifts in the song: The Twelve Days of Christmas would add up to 364 gifts.

Who even counts these things? Whoever did must have had a lot of time on their hands.

Happy Holidays!

Jamaaliday Mailbox and Hat and Beard

Hi Jammers! I apologize for the late post! I am sick right now, and I always do around Christmas time. Enough about me, let's get on with this post!

First off, the gift for today is the Jamaaliday Mailbox! 

Hm, I don't know how much this will hold up, but it sure looks tasty! This is a returning gift, but a lot of Jammers like it! 

 

Moving on, we also have the Hat and Beard located in Jam-Mart Clothing!

 

A nice, non-member, festive item! Now if you want to be Santa, here is your chance!

 

Last but not least, we have a Daily Explorer post!

Go to the Daily Explorer to check this awesome comic out! It's pretty neat that AJ drew a Jammer's Wolf!

 

Alright, that's all today Jammers! Sorry for the late post! I will see you on Saturday!

 

 

 

Rare Hat & Beard, North Pole, Snowflake Tiara, and more!

Season's Greetings! Have you seen the new Animal Jam Community Theme? Very festive!

Today is a new day, meaning plenty of new items to post about! Today also happens to be Monday, which means new Rare Items! Let's hurry and see what we have today, shall we?

Our Jamaaliday Gift is the North Pole- too literally! Get it? It's a pole, leading to the North Pole, and it is in the North, making it the North Pole? I give up.

I am loving these gifts! They are for all Jammers, and pretty good looking too! Oh look, there is even a cupcake on the bottom of that pole!

We have three new items sold in Jam Mart Furniture: The Winter Mailbox, The Jamaaliday Planter, and The Wood Log Bench

Good job AJHQ! Every item you have released this month have been very good items!

Next we have the Snowflake Tiara sold for 1,250 gems in Jam Mart Clothing. This item isn't too bad actually, go and be royal with this new item!

Now let's go see our rare!

Amazing news: it is non-member, not too expensive, and relatively good looking- we have a winner! (of what?) My only slight problem is that it looks almost exactly like the regular hat and beard. If you want the same thing (practically) just buy a regular one! Still, a rare is a rare. And a non-member rare is an amazing rare!

Today is a great day!


And now for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Sempiternal: Eternal and unchanging; everlasting

Wow. That is a beautiful word, far stronger and more meaningful than 'forever'.

Our fact of the day:

111,111,111 x 111,111,111= 12, 345, 678, 987, 654, 321

Go try it!

That is all for this Monday, folks! See you soon!

Elf Shoes, Items, and Jammer Sundae #16

Greetings! I am so sorry- another late post! Before I begin the real 'meat' of the post, I would like to make an announcement: Yesterday was The AJC's 700th post: time to celebrate!

I wonder how exciting it will be when we reach 1000. Now that would be something to celebrate about!

Welcome to another post my friends, a Jammer Sundae post to be exact. However, before we get to that, we have items to cover!

Our gift for today is the elf shoes, which comes in various colours. Not only that, today is a diamond day as well!

Very nice!

Sold in Jam Mart Furniture for 450 gems we have the Winter Firepit Table! This. Item. Is. AMAZING! I love it so much! There are bowls of soup (I love soup) plates, and even a pot of soup cooking on the fire! Oh, and it is a fireplace- how very nice!

Buy one today!

Sold in Jam Mart Furniture for 1,250 gems we have the Snowflake Crown! Is this a mishap? With that price and the word 'crown' in the title, one would think it belongs in Epic Wonders! Hmm... Nonetheless, this is a great item for those who want to look regal and festive at the same time!

It appears that these are all the items for today!



And now it is time for:

How about today we continue with the whole 'celebration vibe' and make the theme of the Sundae dancing animals? I like this theme: I might actually do this more often... Dancing animal Monday, perhaps?

First we have a prarie dog who has a love for ballet:

Next, a bear 'busting out' some moves:

A cat and a duck enjoying themselves:

And finally an owl... head bopping?

Who do you think won this 'contest'? I would have to say the prarie dog in my opinion.

That is all for today's Jammer Sundae!

And now for the factual part of this post:

Our wondrous word of the day:

Opulence: Great wealth or luxuriousness

Our fascinating fact of the day:

A jiffy is the scientific name for 1/100th of a second.

There is no possible way to 'be back in a jiffy', then!

With that, I shall conclude my post. See you tomorrow for Rare Item Monday!
