I did a bit of shopping today. I went to Gamehouse and noticed my punchcard had a red ! next to it and saw I had 4 days left to use it. So I got Black Rainbow at 75% off. I paid $2.50 for it and then I checked out their discounted games and got Orgins: Elders of Time for 1.99.
At Big Fish I used the pcc that I won on Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide. I read that the collectibles are in the SE version and some reviewers were saying the CE bonus was very confusing so I am glad I went with the SE. I hope Eipix did a good job on it. I also had a expiring pcc at the end of the month so I used it today before I forgot. I got Graven: The Purple Moon Prophecy. I have two of Orchid Games previous games Royal Trouble & Spirit Walkers: Curse of the Cypress Witch.

Thanks for the info, everybody, I decided to pass on the games. They will be on sale again, and I probably wouldn't have gotten around to playing them in 2015, so they can wait.
I have to use a PCC, too, may as well use it today cause I want the Dark Parables SE, too. I have to rejoin before the end of the month but I'm putting it off as long as I can. I have 2 CE coupons that need to be redeemed by 12/31 so I need to start thinking what I want to get. I haven't really even paid much attention to BFG lately, do any of the newer games seem really CE worthy? I still have some older ones in my maybe pile.
I have 2 games I need to use my 100% off coupons for, and I still haven't gotten anything for a free game for being a Funpass member since 10/22.
And Hello, Mia

I've finished all three Christmas Stories and enjoyed them all. Nutcracker was a second go. They really have a lot of charm. I don't really understand why some people were so upset about the story choice for this year. Really all three stories are the same theme, a good guy, a bad guy, and lost love reclaimed. Every Christmas movie revolves around this theme year after year. I confess to watching lots of them and they are generally a rehash of the same story of redemption for someone.

Ive been playing Gizmos Universe. Some of these are tricky puzzles mainly because I find the background so intrusive. I wish it was just blank and one colour. Other than that they are a nice change to the 8th floor ones which are simpler. right now I am just on the 20 boards and having to redo some of them. that time crunch! I would like to start another game but the darker stuff just seems so inappropriate at this time of year. I need something cheerier.

There's an option to shut off the backgrounds and make it plain.

Oscar...Yes, I too like to watch Christmas Movies on TV. Mostly on the Hallmark Channel.
I updated Elephant Games in the Developers List of Games on page 1.
I don't think I'll be getting anything in today's sale, but I'll take a second look though. See what I am missing in the different series. I have been on a roll playing Elephant's games. The last 4 out of 6 I have played been by them. Well I am still playing Tin Soldier right now.

I was going to get TIN SOLDIER with my CE coupon but maybe I'll take a look at the sale and use it for something else. Thanks sunshinej.

I picked up Christmas Stories: HCA Tin Soldier CE today and decided to start it since I haven't been playing any Xmas games. Finished a couple of my oldies from the other challenge - Laura Jones and the Gates of Good and Evil (3 hrs-finished in one day, ok game) and Forgotten Riddles - The Mayan Princess (long game with riddles for clues to find objects-ok but glad I finished them both off). Also finished Rite of Passage: The Perfect Show CE which seemed like it took me forever but plan to play the other two after the first of the year.
Still working on Hidden Expedition - Devil's Triangle, something about it just isn't calling me to play it but it will get finished before the end of December, and another one that I started when my DGD was here a week or so ago, Christmas Adventure: Candy Storm which was too hard for her to play.
Want to hear what everyone else is playing or has on tap to play before the end of the year.
