Chapter 1720 The Best Time Of The Year
The Royals were here!
(^_^)
Wow!
They looked like Disney princes and princes, as they stepped into the hall accompanied by performers who once again gave yet another stunning performance.
The group
Landon's group appeared accompanied by dancing teens in Reindeer attires.
And today, their royal cloaks were all Christmas-themed, as the reindeers held the bottom ends as if holding the train of a bride's wedding dress.
Of course, the cloaks were just for show, as they light up on their own, dazzling the crowds even more.
And when they stepped on the elevated platforms, they took off their cloaks, gave them to the reindeers and warmly greeted their esteemed guests on the 2nd platform.
Timothy felt honored and happy, seeing Landon come his way to give him a manly hug and a strong pat on his back.
Lucy, Lucius, and mother Kim also came one by one, greeting everyone from all directions.
They showed no favoritism, making everyone there feel special.
Many were amazed by how humble Landonn was.
If it were them, they would first reach their thrones before proudly nodding at the visitors to show their might.
This was how it usually was since no one wanted to be seen as weak by their allies or foes.
But Landon's case was peculiar and odd because even though he did this, no one could see him as weak.
He had reached that level that the many UN empires could never see him as weak, especially when he saved their empires from disasters time and time again.
No way...
Who would see such a man as weak?

All in all, the festivities for the brief celebration went by in a flash.
The food was great, the drinks abundant, the crowd was always busy mingling among themselves, enjoying their Christmas Dinner together.
After all, this was what this meal was all about.
It was a Christmas meal to celebrate them being a family and seeing the end of another year together.
With enough alcohol to go around, Landon allowed the children to step into the game room prepared for them.
It was better than seeing your parents drunk.
The game room was extremely large, with trampoline rooms, massive Hot Wheel control cars and roads for competitions, arcade games, computers, a few TV booths, Karaoke booths, and all other sorts of entertainment.
The very small children also had a kindergarten section with people to look after them there so the parents could enjoy their celebrations to the fullest.
Although Landom would prefer it if parents knew their alcohol tolerance and stopped when necessary.
It was still broad daylight now.
So if they got drunk this early, won't they miss the festival they were clamoring to see today?
"Hahahahahahahahaha~ ... Today, I've had a good show."
"Yes yes yes, I think I can now understand what this Christmas thing is all about."
"Hey... today, they've truly opened my eyes to issues in my empire blindly ignored by many."
"Yeah, today's festivities not only did that but also provided us with good food too. Can anyone tell me what his massive red bouncy thing is? Is it alive?"
"Pfft~... Newbies! I can tell you that this is Christmas Jelly! The taste is so exquisite and unique, hitting all the good spots the moment it touches your tongue. Trust me, it's heavenly Dessert!"
"Waaaaaw... heavenly dessert..."

For this party, everyone rated it a good 11/10 as all their needs were met, with the staff solving some things they didn't even think about before coming to the party.
lives and empires before they left with their gifts in hand.
In the end, the party was a huge success with Landon giving a closing speech, wishing everyone blessings upon blessings in their lives and empires before they left with their gifts in hand.
So this is what a Christmas party is like?It was really fun.
(^0^)
Many were happy, though for some people, this was their 2nd Christmas party of the year from around December 1st to the 5th, many companies and industries hosted their Christmas parties then, allowing the workers to have a night of fun.
It was also during that time that the top 10 best workers in all departments and areas were called out, and given certificates of excellence for the year, as well as additional bonuses for their efforts.
Of course, everyone had a yearly bonus during Christmas time, but theirs was more to thank them for a great job.
But the top 10 people of each department were not the only ones celebrated.
Those who took their time over the year to help as many people in their jobs as possible, and those who proved extremely resourceful were also called out.
Again, some people who deserved promotions were told of their new offices which will be effective on December 15th, giving them enough time to clear their current desks, pack their stuff and head to their brand new office areas.
Everything went peachy for the many industries across Baymard who had their Christmas parties not too long ago.
Bottom line, whether it was the company parties or the royal parties, everyone was content, as they also took on Landon's closing speech, feeling their hearts boil with excitement for the upcoming year.
Hahahhahahahha~
What did they hear?
Did his majesty just say that Baymard would change again?
Damn!
You have to know that every year some people come over, the Baymard of the previous year they knew was now nowhere to be found.
Understand this...
Baymard was an instant creative and resourceful place that made all sorts of inventions almost every few months.
What's more, have you forgotten about Research Mania?
It was a period within the lower region when all suggestions and ideas placed in the suggestion boxes or sent by email since the last Research Mania, are gone through one by one, with companies choosing the top 2 or 3 great ideas with potential and making it a reality for the people.
That's even without Landon, some modified versions of the current technologies still emerge from time to time,
Take, for example, the electric kettle.
After Landon made the electric kettles, the workers who slowly got used to knowing how its components were made, had bright ideas of their own.
They now made Battery operated home kettles and even had some that won't boil or heat up if no water is sensed in the kettle.
It wasn't him who came up with those ideas but them.
Again, take for example the first 3-in-1 electric breakfast maker Landon created.
This 3-in-1 appliance included a coffee maker to its left, a large griddle for cooking eggs, bacon, and pancakes, and a toaster oven below the griddle that can hold up to four slices of bread.
Sure enough, when he sold it, it was a huge success not just for the many customers but for the worker who now took this idea, breaking each component down and selling individually, like creating a massive Griddle for outdoor use too.
They also made separate small toaster ovens for those outside and inside Baymard too.
For Landon, once he made a specific product, he hardly went back to modify it because the workers already thought of them for him.
Well, everyone was looking forward to the changes Baymard would have next year.
But many would've never known it would be so great!!

"Farewell!"
"Goodbye, and merry Christmas!"
Like so, many left the party with smiles as they waved endlessly to those around them, but today's fun had only just begun.
Rushing home, many took 1 or 2 hours to relax before taking another bath and dressing up in their Christmas costumes for the festival.
Just like Halloween, they could choose to dress up as any of the characters in the many Christmas stories that they knew.
Some choose to dress up as Scrooge, and others choose to dress up as in all green like the Grinch.
There were some like Krumpus, and there were others like Jack Frost!
No matter what they wore, every costume bought from the stores was warm, with a majority having hoodies.
One should know that even though they were dressing up for fun, this was still Christmas time and not Halloween time.
The weather was colder and it wasn't advisable to dress lightly.
In a flash, the night took over, and the streets became crowded, especially the city square in District G.
The enemies free stood high, with a giant angel on its top and beautiful decorations all around it.
Vendors sold Christmas treats and games commenced as told.
"Look, mistletoe."
Many married couples smiled as they pulled up their scarves and kissed in hiding, not wanting children to see what they were doing.
But though they were cautious, the overflowing love in their eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Thank you for being with me through another year."
"Silly... if I'm not with you, who else can I be with?"
Holding hands Love was in the air so much that it made the single people envious.
Alas...
Who wouldn't like a good partner to share the moment with? Some who left their partners in other empires also sighed, promising to never spend Christmas alone again.
Food, festival possessions, and games.
In a flash, the night grew old, with many taking their families home.
And when their children or loved ones woke up, there were presents underneath the Christmas trees.
Gordon watched his children dance around excitedly with a warm smile on his lips.
He wished all days could be like this.
Christmas... was undoubtedly the best time of the year.
Yes!
Many could agree to this, even those who had no knowlege of Christmas outside the empire.
Particularly in a far, far away empire, several people beamed with joy, staring at the young man seated before them.
"Everyone it's time we go to war!"
