Granzella – New Year’s Event (18th Dec to 15th Jan 2014)
This year we’ll be holding a New Year’s Countdown Event! Temple bells ring as snow falls softly on Great Edo of Nippon. When the clock strikes midnight, watch the sun climb in the sky accompanied by Mt. Fuji, hawks, and eggplants, all Japanese symbols of good fortune in the year to come. In Southern Island Hideaway, the sun creeps slowly over the horizon while pods of dolphins leap from the sea to help usher in the new year.

But wait, there’s more! Enter either of the lounges after the new year and you’ll receive 5 Gift Coins that you can use with the “GZ Gift” Advanced Furniture Item to be released soon. Spend New Year’s Eve together with friends!

Hollyridge Estate
Get in the Holiday spirit with the Hollyridge Estate, the perfect location for fun and frolicking on a cold winter’s night. Whether it’s a snowball fight in the back pasture, or ice skating on the frozen pond under the falling snow, a winter’s eve is the perfect setting for devilishly delicious Holiday fun.

Lockwood
The Dream Universe has been steadily growing over the last couple of years, providing you with inviting sunny beaches, peaceful twilit woodland and stunning Northern lights. Today, Lockwood provides a lush new environment for you to explore – the dense tropical rainforests of Dream Forest Paradise. Enjoy breath-taking views, brave treetop bridges and uncover luxurious rewards in this spectacular exotic apartment and Clubhouse.

This week, Lockwood demonstrate two of the best things about the holiday season – parties and presents! For fancy dress parties, there are some Nutcracker inspired uniforms complete with enough gold braid to decorate ten trees. If you prefer the other party goers to be looking at you rather than the plumes on your hat, then combining a Drey outfit with some ‘Get It Started!’ dance moves is a sure-fire way to get noticed.

Drey’s channelling 80’s prom chic with its ruched dress and two tone brogues, while the animation pack also recalls a simpler time, when dance moves ranked fun above sexiness (or even simple co-ordination and rhythm…)

The Gift Machine is packed to the brim with seasonal goodies galore. From hams to houses (gingerbread ones that is) there’s something to suit every pocket. Most important of all is a brand new friend to steal your heart – Gordon Roberts the cheeky chirpy festive robin.

And the Festive Fun Continues into the New Year in Home Square!
There is a lot more to come in Home Square this week. Uncover the secrets of Home past, present and future in some of the best mini games to hit Home Square so far (even if we say so ourselves!).
Plus, there is a chance to go tobogganing with a new locomotion and we have featured an array of other festive furniture and clothing.
This is the last Home update of the year, with the next one scheduled for 8th January 2014. Have a great New Year and we’ll see you next year!
That’s all for now. See you in PlayStation Home!
