2003
On December 25, 2003 (Bill 1), each player received a Crimbo pressie. When opened, it produced fruitcake and wrapping paper. The wrapping paper could be smithed into the components of the Crimbo Duds outfit.
2004
On December 25, 2004 (Starch 6), each player received a Crimbo stocking. When opened, it produced a candy cane, gingerbread bugbear, eggnog and small Crimbo Pressie. The small pressie, when opened, produced a bow and either a Hanukkimbo dreidl, imitation nice watch, or tiny plastic sword. The bow could be smithed into the components of the Bow Tux outfit.
In addition, the player Secret Santa was given 100 extra special Crimbo stockings to give out, due to his generous donations. When you opened these, you received a small Crimbo Pressie in addition to a Mr. Accessory.
2005
On December 1, 2005 (Porktober 3), Uncle Crimbo placed an Advent Calendar in each player's campground. Players were able to open one section of it each day, the Calendar having one section for each of the 25 days up to and including Crimbo. The sections, when opened, initially yielded a small Crimbo gift, such as a candy cane, some eggnog, a fruitcake, or a gingerbread bugbear. In later weeks, the gift included other items such as aspirin, fancy chocolate, sugar cookies in various shapes, and items from the Tiny plastic series 1C. Also, on the 20th, the gates to Crimbo Town opened and closed again January 2, 2006.
On December 24, Uncle Crimbo brought us a little present in our equipment inventory. A new outfit, Arboreal Raiment, was included. The items required are a can of fake snow, a Colored-light "necklace" and a tree skirt.
2006
On December 1, 2006, an Advent Calendar was placed in each player's campground. Also, Applejohn Pipeswaddler, the Lonely Crimbo Elf, appeared in the middle of the mountains, asking to help get Uncle Crimbo's memory back.
