I am curious what is refered to when people talked about last years santas blessing.  I started playing around thanksgiving last year so I am not sure if I saw it.

When I installed the game last year around thanksgiving I had huge amounts of R$ and GC from the start and maybe that is what is being refered to as santas blessing.  Had I realized I would end up losing all that R$ and GC I would have spent it like it was going out of style.
