2003
On December 25, 2003 (Martinus 8, Year 4), each player received a Crimbo pressie. When opened, it produced fruitcake and wrapping paper. The wrapping paper could be smithed into the components of the Crimbo Duds outfit.
2004
On December 25, 2004 (Starch 6, Year 8), each player received a Crimbo stocking. When opened, it produced a candy cane, gingerbread bugbear, eggnog and small Crimbo Pressie. The small pressie, when opened, produced a bow and either a Hanukkimbo dreidl, imitation nice watch, or tiny plastic sword. The bow could be smithed into the components of the Bow Tux outfit.
In addition, the player Secret Santa was given 100 extra special Crimbo stockings to give out, due to his generous donations. When you opened these, you received a Mr. Accessory in addition to the regular things.
2005
On December 1, 2005 (Porktober 3, Year 11), Uncle Crimbo placed an Advent Calendar in each player's campground. Players were able to open one section of it each day, the Calendar having one section for each of the 25 days up to and including Crimbo. The sections, when opened, initially yielded a small Crimbo gift, such as a candy cane, some eggnog, a fruitcake, or a gingerbread bugbear. In later weeks, the gift included other items such as aspirin, fancy chocolate, sugar cookies in various shapes, and items from the Tiny plastic series 1C. Also, on the 20th, the gates to Crimbo Town opened and closed again January 2, 2006.
On December 24, Uncle Crimbo brought us a little present in our equipment inventory. A new outfit, Arboreal Raiment, was included. The items required are a can of fake snow, a Colored-light "necklace" and a tree skirt.
2006
(Also known as "Crimboween")
On the December 1, 2006 rollover, a Spooky Advent Calendar was placed in each player's campground. Also, Applejohn Pipeswaddler, the Lonely Crimbo Elf, appeared in the middle of the mountains, asking to help get Uncle Crimbo's memory back.
On the December 24, 2006 rollover, Uncle Crimbo gave out a tropical Crimbo pressie, which opened to reveal a tropical wrapping paper, and an additional item out of a Tiki lighter, Tropical paperweight, and deck of tropical cards. If one had completed the Save Uncle Crimbo quest they also got either a Crimbo ukelele, lucky Crimbo tiki necklace, or the bobble-hip hula elf doll. In addition, December 25th was Halloween and trick-or-treating was enabled.
2007
(see Crimbo Town (2007))
On the November 30, 2007 rollover, Uncle Crimbo stopped by everybody's campsite in the dead of night and dropped off a little calendar full of goodies. Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy goodies.
On December 7, a new moon appeared in the sky. It was a Crimbo miracle! It has been noted that the moon oddly resembles The Sinister Dodecahedron sighted in the sky a year and a half earlier at The LAAAAME Observatory.
On December 10, an announcement was posted in the Kingdom stating:
Some amateur astronomers with telescopes in their campsites have determined that the new object in the sky is no moon -- it's a space station!
On December 12, it turns out the amateur astronomers were wrong - it wasn't a moon or a space station, it was a spaceship, and it crash-landed somewhere in the big mountains.
In completely unrelated news, Crimbo Town has re-emerged from the mists in the Big mountains to bring joy and delight to adventurers everywhere.
However, the "Crimborg" have taken over this delightful place.
On December 25, Uncle Crimbo handed out an old-fashioned Crimbo Pressie.
