Restaurant Story Ideas: Santa's Workshop

[GroupMagma]

Looks like there are Holiday suggestions all over the forums now, but we're still having contests! For today, we want to concentrate on Restaurant Story, and the theme of Santa's Workshop!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Santa Claus, Sinterklass, Kris Kringle, etc., here are some photos of the Man in Red:

Here are the rules:

1) Post in the forums, on our Facebook post, or @reply us on Twitter with your suggestion(s)

2) If you enter in all three places, you have triple the chance to win!

3) One post per medium; i.e. you can post ONCE on the forums and ONCE on Facebook and ONCE on Twitter.

4) We'll pick one post at random from each medium (at 6 PM PDT today) and award that user 50 Gems!

That's all! Good luck!

[myweedpatch]

Hmmm...what might I see in a real restaurant during Xmas?

I can just smell that cedar wood burning...

....hmmmm. I'm relaxed!

[Hawaiianmomma]

Tiffany Wall Lamps.....Large & draping like a "wisteria" style.... cherry red mingled with seaglass greens with small hints of sparkling white....with an underglow of a firm & translucent yellow fading into softness....the shade allowing the light to flow downward....these can be used all year and will not affect floor space.....the base can taper to into the wall and disappear gradually....a few leaves dancing down the stem with budding but closed flowers that carry the same reflections as the shade above....somewhat like the image of A Christmas Colored Life Tree....

-Puppy chow!!! (chocolate covered chex with powdered sugar, yummm!)

Decoration ideas:
-Mistletoe door

[mushroom79]

one post so I am taking it as one idea.

Change background music to Santa claus is coming to town. For one month or so, from the beginning of advent to epiphany, the last day of christmas.

[myweedpatch]

Ok...this one is just for fun...

Santa (drunk or not) and elf picture booth like Bad Santa, the movie. Hee hee!

Or maybe a Santa collecting money in a red pot standing by the door, ringing a bell for the salvation army. TL can make it a way gor us players to make a donation to the salvation army.

[geluve]

Due that this is for RS i would want a constructable appliance to make candy cane, shaped cookies, like socks, santa hats etc.. hot chocolate etc and wooden waiters, robot cashier, and maybe a gnome customer!!! yaay:p;)

I would love to see an advent calendar. Like the ones you open every day and get a piece of chocolate. Or I used to have one of those hanging cloth Christmas trees. And the were gingerbread men for the month of December until Christmas that you take out of their daily pocket and Velcro to the Christmas tree. It was always fun to do a countdown :)

[dd1313]

Egg nog for drink mixer.

[munchiez11]

I know contest is over, just throwing ideas out there. Mine are mostly decorative.

I LOVE nutcrackers for Christmas, so how about some nutcracker statues or some toy soldier statues holding drums.

A small magical castle that's lit within.

A fireplace that not only has a mantle but also the chimney made in brick that runs up the wall toward the ceiling. Of course stockings are hanging off of it OR a little elft working on a rocking horse in front of the fireplace.

Of course pine wreaths (about the size of the dartboard or the fan) with a nice red/gold bow (nothing too out there like lights or ornaments).

I don't wanna say a work table with elves on it cuz it's kinda bulky and random, but maybe a square area of random toys like train parts, rocking horse parts, dolls sitting about (or laying down) on the floor with elves working on them. In other words, a work area with no tables.

And, candle holders with candles for the walls.
