This Christmas we are having a festival.
The name is "Christmas Festival".
Now, this festival is based around a trip to Iceland which all of Hogwarts has been invited to go to. In Iceland, there is General Roleplay (basically anything wintery), a Christmas Ball (yes, another dance!) and a Talent Show (many acts performed by YOU!).
This event will go over quite a period of time, as it's nice to have something going on in between the two terms. The current dates are from Monday 15th December until Monday 5th January. This is three weeks, but I'm assuming that a lot of people won't be too active around Christmas, so it has to start a while before and finish a while after it. Classes won't be on during this time, although you will be allowed to roleplay around Hogwarts, as some students stay there for Christmas (or you can "go home" and not roleplay there if you prefer).
Also, please note this festival includes New Year's Eve.
[[Another note. From now on, you can't reply to topics in Announcements. There will be another topic in Discussion for you to discuss the Announcements, but in Announcements there shall only be Announcements and no Discussion. If that made any sense, as I used those words waaay too many times.]]
