The holiday tree ornament mystery egg machine was updated on Sunday. The machine is located in the garden shop in Pet Society. The Holiday Tree Ornament mystery eggs and their contents are giftable. Each egg costs 200 coins. The eggs are “holiday special” items, and they are available for purchase until December 27, 2009.
On Sunday, a note was added to the machine reading “more decorations added!” At the time, this note was actually false, and many players bought eggs, which turned out to be the old eggs. Playfish sorted this out and added the new decorations to the mix the next day. In the bustle of buying snowman and cute clothes, I luckily missed this update until the problem was already fixed and the new items were actually released.

Here’s a picture of the original 15 ornaments that have been available since December 6th:

Here is the second set of 21 decorations that was added on December 13th:

You’ll notice that the labels of the red and blue star bows are reversed. It’s reminiscent of the mistake in mislabeling the pink and yellow rose and pink and red rose bunches last Valentines Day. Even after nearly a year these items are still mislabeled.
I wish the ornaments were all released at the same time. I spent quite a while finding the new ornaments, and got a lot of duplicates from the first set while looking for ornaments in the second set.
Do you like the new ornaments? Which set of ornaments do you prefer? Do you have a color theme when you decorate your tree?
