Past events always lead up yo or overshoot the holiday which usually means if an event is completed, the reward (which is usually holiday specific) becomes useless until the following year. It would be nice if we can get game pieces before the holiday so we could display them the year that they are rewarded. Example:the children's orphanage. I didn't finish this building until Halloween was over, so as soon as it was completed it went streight into storage fo next year. I would love to decorate for Christmas, but aside from the reindeer stable we got nothing.
