Dr. Singh: Hi, everyone! Welcome to a special holiday edition of the Evolving Item Report, with a very special guest: Mrs. Claus, wife of Santa! We had a little mix-up last week... we invited Santa to co-host the program, but he turned out to have the mind of a cow, so it didn't go so smoothly.

 Mrs. Claus: I'm sorry about that! I suppose I should have told you about that when you booked him...

Dr. Singh: Oh, don't be sorry-- he was much more polite than most of my co-hosts. So, Mrs. Claus, how goes the effort to get his mind back?

Mrs. Claus: Well, last I checked, the Cheer Coil is still nowhere near powered up, so we need all the help we can get. Big thanks to all the gaia gold who have participated so far! With any luck, we'll have Santa back to his old self within a few days.

Dr. Singh: That's great to hear, Mrs. Claus. Now, if you don't mind, we'd better get down to some science: I'm excited to report that we've got a brand new item this week! The creator of the legendary Alruna's Rose is back in the lab with another dazzling invention: the Anima Adamantea, a piece of high-tech equipment whose true purpose we can only guess.

Mrs. Claus: Oh, my! It looks like it would make a lovely X-mas tree topper.

Dr. Singh: No offense, but something tells me it's destined for bigger things than that. If you'd like to get in on the ground floor of this exciting technological development, you can get a first-generation Anima Adamantea now in the gaia gold Cash Shop! Remember: first-gen items hold higher value in the Marketplace, and get all their newest poses weeks before the other generations.

Mrs. Claus: Not to be impatient, dear, but I must ask: is my Holy $#17 finally evolving?

Dr. Singh: It is! In fact, the Holy $#17 has reached its exciting final form this week, complete with some fantastic new poses. This strange little item has truly pulled through with outstanding results! In other news, the Copper Twopence is evolving again this week. Be sure to get this one while you can, folks-- it will be in the Cash Shop through December, but after that, it's gone!

Mrs. Claus: Dear me! That's not even two weeks from now.

Dr. Singh: The Coocoon is also seeing a long-awaited update this week with some great cool new entomological action!
