Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Grab your Santa hats and break out the tinsel because it’s Christmas time in Springfield! Yes the annual TSTO Christmas event has arrived in our pocket-sized towns, covering our usual perfect weather towns with a fresh blanket of bright, white, snow!
While the Christmas event, and snow, are annual the structure of this event is anything but! This is the first major event in Springfield that’s structured like a mini-event. Christmas consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the Simpsons Christmas Special!
For Act 3 we’re tasked with following Marge’s Hallmark Christmas story…all about a young woman who travels home for Christmas to be reunited with a love from her past. Each part of the story will unlock another prize themed for Marge’s story. So let’s take a look at the details behind Week 3 and the Turbo Tappin’ Version for Marge’s Christmas Story…
Please Remember: Follow ALL steps of the questline outlined below. Skipping one of the tasks will prevent you from unlocking the corresponding prize. So please, please, PLEASE pay attention to the required tasks and completed them all to unlock the prizes. (Note: this may involve you having to scroll up and/or down in the prize task box)

And this concludes Week 3, Marge’s tale, of the 2018 Christmas Event!
Thoughts on the third week? How are you doing with the prize track? Thoughts on the event in general? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
Did anyone else’s tree lot disappear after the Xmas event ended? When the snow went away, so did my tree lot. I was left with an empty patch of land. And YES, I did triple check my inventory. None of the other Xmas stuff can be sold so I know I didn’t sell it either… HELP!

The opening dialogue for this one made me laugh out loud. The other girls at work keep tuning into these garbage movies during break time and I was going insane. I pointed out that the “hero” of this one was the “bad guy” of the previous one. They use the same 6 actors in every movie.

Oh they’re not garbage. They’re wonderful heartwarming films.
Considering Hallmark channel is #1 in ratings every weekend from the weekend before Halloween until the weekend after Christmas I’d say most people agree that they’re not garbage…

Fabulous event. Nicely paced.
Question: in the Christmas splash page – what is homer leaning against? I thought it might be “sky finger”?

Alissa, I feel your pain. I did a brief IT helpdesk stint for an HR company. Can’t tell you how many times my co-workers and I would spend 5 minutes or more saying scroll down, scroll down, scroll down, yes I know you scrolled down, but you need to scroll down just a little further. They would finally scroll down one more inch and then “oh that checkbox,” continue button, or whatever, “that wasn’t there before.”
