Autumn Equinox 2018

Fly with you fairies! Saturday was the Autumn Equinox which is basically when the day and night are each twelve hours. This day made me so excited because autumn is my favorite season. Not only is this season really beautiful, it's a very exciting time of year. There are really fun holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Not to mention that we're closer to Christmas!

And as I always do in my blog post, I'll recap how Pixie Hollow has celebrated the beginning of autumn over the years.

2009-There wasn't really that much. There were cakes in the pumpkin patch to congratulate everyone on a good job for changing the leaves for like, two days. But the cakes were really, really cute.

2010-The equinox this year overlapped with the Welcome Home Party (an event celebrating the new Great Fairy Rescue movie).

2011-The ballroom was beautifully decorated and there were banners in each of the autumn meadows

2012-The autumn equinox was actually a big event this year. Not only were there the banners and stuff, there was a golden acorn hunt (similar to spring's golden clover hunt). There was also a cherry brown golden acorn necklace in the ballroom.

The Minister of Autumn paid a visit every year. In fact, 2009 was the first ever minister visit. Here were the gifts:
2009-Pumpkin Orange Leaf Stack Anklet
2010-Never Gold Harvest Garland
2011-Pumpkin Orange Pumpkin Lamp
2012-Never Gold Golden Maple Tree

A fun autumn idea I have is actually inspired by Pixie Hollow's first art contest. The activity is to draw a picture of a pixie pumpkin patch. So basically a fall drawing with fairy elements. I may draw one with me and my mainland friends as fairies in a pumpkin patch. And of course, dress your fairy up for autumn. Fun fashion tips include dressing warm (with scarves and hats) and wearing autumn colors. These colors can include red, brown, orange or even a dark shade of any color.

Snowflake's Pixie Postings-March 2019

Before I proceed with this thing, I have an announcement to make! At around the dawn of the new year, I posted that I'd no longer be doing event posts here, only monthly horoscopes. So for the second half of 2017 and all of 2018, I did event related posts here in an inconsistent pattern, but for a few months I posted every week. I decided to stop the event blog posts because I've already done all the event nostalgia stuff and I was kind of bored of doing those things so frequently. But I realized that life needs more excitement and festivity. I've loved holidays as a child, and I still celebrate most of them even as a teenager. But some have faded away from excitement like Valentine's Day. At school I've overheard a few people complaining about how many holidays aren't as fun anymore. This got me thinking on how to bring them back. I started my event blog in the first place to bring back the joy of Pixie Hollow's events, because they used to be the highl

  The holiday season has begun with November! Events Week 1-The Pixie Hollow Games -Inspired by the mainland Olympics, the Pixie Hollow Games is held every four years. Each year, two members from each talent (not all participate every year) represent their guild in a series of events. The last place team after each event is eliminated. The overall standings are determined by a butterfly leaderboard.  Here are some of the sports: Leapfrogging-Fairies race on frogs that leap over each other Dragonfly water skiing-The team that makes it the fastest around a series of obstacles in the water wins Twig Spheres-One teammate is on top of the sphere moving it while the other is inside guiding the one on top. Teams race to make it to the middle and back first. Mouse polo-It's basically like mainland lacrosse but on mice. Two teams compete at a time and the judging is tournament style. Teacup Challenge-It's a high speed race inside clumsy teacups
