Sending seasonal greetings and a Happy New Year! – Ryan Schultz

When Linden Lab announced the launch of their ranch-style home last June, I immediately upgraded my main male avatar, Heath Homewood, to Premium Plus and purchased this adorable home! (Heath is the guy who has owned most of my home and garden decorations since I first owned land in the then newly built Bay City neighborhood. I joke that he is a walking shed!)

From fall through winter, I slowly and lovingly landscaped the exterior and decorated the interior until I had a virtual space that I felt truly reflected me.

The Ranch Linden Home area is richly landscaped and full of nice little touches. If you look closely at this photo, you can see a bluebird sitting on a telephone wire in the foreground above the house!

I often walk (or ride!) the new Ranch Linden Home area, and I have to give it to Linden Lab. They did a great job! And it’s very interesting to see how other people decide to decorate their homes.

In between looting, looting, and combing through Second Life’s various advent calendars and 12 Days of Christmas calendars, I found a little time this morning to decorate my new ranch home for the holidays. I hung stockings by the fireplace, put up my favorite Christmas tree, and prepared a Christmas crib that reminded me of what I had in my actual childhood home.

I no longer care about decorating my actual apartment for Christmas. Instead I decided to decorate my Second Life home! (January organizing is also simple – just a few clicks! 😜)
The Christmas cabinet on the left is a free advent calendar from Luchara (December 17th), which includes cards, candles, and lamps. Next to it, a holly accent chair is part of the adorable dining room set in Petrichor’s (December 20th) advent calendar, and it’s only L$1! A Christmas manger doll from Celestina’s Weddings Advent calendar (December 7) for just L$35; They have placed little seasonal decorations and tchotchkes on top of their daily advent calendar gift boxes that you can purchase!
Here is an evening view of my ranch house living room decorated with Christmas decorations. silent Night!

Happy holidays everyone and a happy new year!
