Meet these seven jolly dwarves, residents of the Little Cottonwood Cottage. Yellow has a case of the sweet tooth, Purple loves music, Red is a friend of wildflowers, Blue can talk to animals, Orange is the wise one, Green loves pulling pranks, and Gray is a master craftsman of musical instruments. Join them in their adventures not only in their quaint and comfy home, but also in the Cottonwood Forest, where their cottage can be found at its heart.
We're right smack in between Christmas and New Year, so what better way to celebrate this season by featuring a video highlighting the holidays- but with a Sanrio twist?
"Merry Christmas Hello Kitty", made by filipinogirl, is a collection of holiday pictures featuring Hello Kitty, and occasionally joined by her twin sister Mimmy, Dear Daniel, and her other friends. There is even a mini-story in the video, what with the captions added by the maker of the video. Also, if you pay attention to the slides, you'll be able to catch a few surprises that would make you smile.:D

Ever since anime was introduced, it has steadily grown momentum and is now one of the biggest influences of pop culture. It appeals to people of all ages (much like Hello Kitty!) Here in SanrioTown, we've got a lot of anime fans on board, and our featured blogger is a part of that mini-community!
sugar_berii is an anime-and-manga fan, and it shows in her posts! Her posts show this interest. Her entries are actually more on the cutesy type, something that young people would surely love.
You can check out her blog at http://blog.sanriotown.com/sugar_berii:hellokitty.com/.
All of us here on SanrioTown wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! May all of you and your loved ones have a very special holiday.

This is one active koala! Not only does she do aerobics, she dances and roller-skates too!
It's only five days until Christmas! Are you getting excited? We are!
During Christmas, we may ask for certain things that we would want to receive as our gifts. These usually come in the form of items: toys, gadgets, books, etc. Hajnee, however, has a different request and she expressed it in a very unique fashion: though a Dream Studio video!
"All I Want for Christmas" was made by the video creator as though she was writing to Santa Claus. While she says she doesn't want that much, at least nothing that could be gift-wrapped, she has one request, and she hopes that this will be granted come Christmas day.
You can find out what her wish is by going to http://video.sanriotown.com/video/76d9be35542c283b. It's a very cute slideshow that most of us can probably relate to, whether we admit to it or not.:D
We've got another New Yorker as our featured blogger! Blog-Elie is not just a blog about the Big Apple, although we do get to read tales about it (ever heard about Oleg, the human computer/cab driver?). She also has stories to tell about her baking adventures, shopping finds, and of course, Hello Kitty sights and goodies!
The owner is a web designer whose "interests include archeology and dental floss". While she admits that her blog does not have a general theme and that her posts would be all over the place, we think this is what makes it interesting. After all, it's fun when you can't always predict what you'll see next, right?

All aboard for the adventure of a lifetime! You'll be brought to the stuff of your imaginations, as the train chugs and puffs to faraway lands, across fields and mountains.
Special occasions should be celebrated, and this week's featured video is putting one special event on the spotlight.
To view the video, please go to http://video.sanriotown.com/video/bb6d27b614af309c.
When you hear "Muffled Noise", what's the first thing that pops in your head?
a. Mess and chaos
b. Music
c. Confusion
d. This week's featured blog on SanrioTown?
If you answered B or D, you've got it right. Music buffs will surely love this week's featured blog on the Blog All-Stars. "Muffled Noise" is all about the beat, the sound, and the vibe. The blog owner does not discriminate nor stick to a specific kind of music: no matter what genre, performer, or band, you'll surely find at least a tidbit of it on this journal. One day you might find her blogging about R&B, the next, boy bands (admit it: you've listened to one of their products and enjoyed it at least once in your life). It's not just bare facts that she talks about on her journal though: she makes commentries on her features, so it adds to the pull of the blog to know what she thinks about the issues she brings up.

The much-awaited Cinnamoroll movie will be hitting the theatres this December 22!
Mocha, Chiffon, Cappuccino, Espresso, and Milk go with Cinnamoroll in this adventure of a lifetime. Join them in their quest, meeting new friends like Anna (the girl who found Cinnamoroll/Cinnamon) and discovering new places like the Forest of Pastries and Bread and the Coffee Waterfalls.
The movie is actually a double-feature film. The second is "Nezumi Monogatari: George To Gerald no Bouken".
This is the story of two mice friends named George and Gerald. How hard will it be for two little ones to go and explore the world? Watch the movie and find out!
The double-feature film will be released in Japan. To find out more about it, visit http://sanriomovie.com.

This little girl turtle absolutely likes nice-smelling flowers! The only thing that could rival this is her love for the company of her friends.
What do you get when you cross two different, brightly-colored socks, a cow, and a camera? Watch this week's featured Dream Studio Video of the Week and find out!
Entitled "Argyle and Stitches (Ep. 01)", this week's featured video is an almost sure-fire away of making its viewers laugh, not only because of its actual, unique content, but also because of the promise it holds. What's to watch out for? The video features sock puppets named Argyle and Stitches who are bent on world domination. If that's not funny enough, throw in a magical flying cow in the mix and you're sure to end up with mayhem! The video seems to be a silent movie and a comic combined, with the characters' (and the narrator's!) dialogue set in text instead of audio. Fun "silent movie" music accompanies the visuals, making it a very exciting and happy video to watch.
Since the title implies that there are more episodes to come, we can watch out for even more stories of the two socks' adventures. Will they end up ruling the galaxy as they planned?

Hello Kitty's appeal is such that people from all over, no matter who they are or where they're coming from, will feel her pull. Today's featured blogger is a proof of this.
Her moniker Okasaneko (which is also her blog name), derived from the Japanese words "okasan" (for mother) and "neko" (for cat), says a lot about her. Not only is she a Hello Kitty fan (as evidenced by her Kitty-centric entries!), but she's also a wife and mother of two boys. This, however, isn't what makes her stand out, since there are also moms on the site. What makes her blog special is because she uses it as her medium to pursue her advocacy for autism. This is especially personal for her, since one of her sons has autism. A lot of her entries are focused on her stories about her family and their challenges when it comes to this. She is an inspiration not only because of this, but also because of her attitude in handling the situation: being grateful of what she has in life, and continuing to push forward in faith.
You can read her inspirational stories at http://blog.sanriotown.com/okasaneko:hellokitty.com/.
