That's true as there are similar crates out. I purchased a lot from the countdown crate and some from party crate from Black Friday's sale. I really have my eye on the nye ball drop but for 48 gems hmmmm I'm not sure if it's worth it and even if storm8 does reward us the countdown tree for the 5 day goal then it's a good prize too but ahhhhhhhhh Santa's Grotto!!!
