Crimboween

Crimboween (or possibly "The Nightmare Before Crimbo") is the result of a KoL Halloween falling on the real-life date of Crimbo/Christmas on December 25, 2006. It was uniquely distinct from previous crimbos for it's combined Nightmare Before Christmas and A Christmas Carol inspired theme along with a new quest, Save Uncle Crimbo!, which spanned the month of December.

October 31st 2006 (Real life Halloween) is the first Halloween during which Trick or Treating could yield cups of eggnog, fruitcakes (without wearing Crimbo Duds), gingerbread bugbears, or candy canes (without wearing Bow Tux). A Crimboween memo was also passed out stating that Uncle Crimbo and his helpers were running Halloween this year instead of the Scream Queen.

For more information on Crimboween developments as they occur, check out the Save Uncle Crimbo! article.

December 1st

A Lonely Crimbo Elf appeared in The Big Mountains. When spoken to, he assigns the Save Uncle Crimbo! quest.

A Spooky Advent Calendar appeared in the Campground of every player. When a day is punched out, an ancient unspeakable fruitcake, a candy stake, a gingerbread horror, or a spooky eggnog is given. If a player has not yet used a chocolate lump, one will also drop. A new section becomes available every day.

References

The name Crimboween is quite possibly a reference to Homestar Runner in which a similar mashup of holidays resulted in "Decemberween"
