Ho Ho Ho Holiday Tappers!
Bust out the tinsel and be sure to hang those stockings by the chimney with care because Christmas time is in the air! That’s right my friends, Christmas (and snow, lots and lots of snow) has hit our pocket-sized towns!
This year EA is trying something different, as I’ve laid out in this post, in that Christmas 2018 consists of multi-events. Basically, the Simpson family will host four stories to be told over the course of December with a new story releasing each week. As we’re taken through each story a series of prizes are released to correspond with the theme of the story. For Week 4, Act 4, we’re following a Polar Express tale, as told by Maggie (through Homer), and the prizes we unlock all fit into the visit to the North Pole theme.
So let’s take a look at the first two prizes this week, the Toy Tain and Pile of Presents…
First up, prize 1, the Toy Train AND Land Token

Pile of Presents
Autostarts (when main questline is over)
Burns: Smithers, have you finished hiding my presents for the Christmas present hunt?
Smithers: *chuckles* No peeking, Mr. Burns!
Lisa: So, wait. You do an Easter egg-style hunt for Christmas presents with a ninety-something-year-old-man?
Smithers: *shhh* Isn’t he adorable?
Burns: I hope the Christmas bunny has been good to me this year! *giggles excitedly*
Lisa: Listen, if my Dad’s boss is losing his mind… I think I deserve to know.
Smithers: Shut up! It’s charming! And not at all sad!
Tap Pile of Presents- x3.
Burns: Five-four-three-two-one! Here I come! Where are my presents, Smithers?!
