The items are gorgeous and the wearables are lovely. I appreciate the versatility of half of the wearables. The Caroler Jacket, Skirt, Prince Top and Princess Dress all seem like things that don't seem Christmas specific. Even the Ice items would work well for winter months.
Honestly, I was personally hoping that the Capsule machine would skip Christmas this year.
I don't hate Christmas. The Christmas items are lovely, but every year I feel like the Christmas Capsule Machine items overstay their welcome. It's ten days until Christmas now. Last year the Capsule Machine was refilled for Elfember on December 13th and it wasn't until April 9th that those items were updated for Spring. Capsule Machine items do need to be in to give everyone a chance at getting them, but I feel like it would be nice if the theme was broader? (Speaking for next year.)
All I'm saying is I can already sense the rage of people come February or early March when they pick up [b]yet another[/b] Sleigh Ornament, two months after Christmas.
I don't mean to use the news as a soapbox. And really, I think the new items are delightful! I'm just always perplexed by the timing. I have an idea which I'm going to send to the editorial.
