Holiday tree is here.

hello,
Holiday tree is finally here.

 Now when you get this message in the farm when you open it, you will be taken to placement mode so that you can place your tree on the farm.
Now you can change from that mode to normal if you dont want to place at that time. But when you place it you will find this pop up.

Now you can share the information to all friends.
Now you need to place holiday presents in under your holiday tree.

Now the number of ways you can collect holiday gifts as far as I know is..
a. Get it from your winter workshop.
b. When you visit you neighbors farm you can get holiday gifts from their workshop too I think.
c. You can collect it from the various bonuses shared by your friends and neighbors.

* Requesting a Holiday Gift from your neighbors directly (by clicking on the “Ask for Gifts” button).
* Receive a Holiday Gift from a neighbor who uses the Free Gifts page.
* Purchase 5 Holiday Gifts at a time by clicking on the “Buy Gifts” button (for 5 Farm Cash).
* Click on a Holiday Gift-related feed where you can receive a Holiday Gift.

As you collect gifts, you will be able to redeem your gifts for special prizes along the way as you unlock them.
As you keep on collecting gifts your trees look will also change according to it getting prettier with every change.
Since it is holiday time and every body waits for presents so this time Zynga has come up with this new change.

when you redeem a special prize, instead of sharing an extra one via your feed as per usual, we’re going to let you pick which friends you would like to send it to as a present
Also Players who participate in this feature may also see a special present from Zynga this year,


Now the various rewards that you can redeem and send are..

Now you can have 6 rewards as you can check on the pic.
Also there are 3 tabs a.) progress where you can see how much you have collected and how far you have progressed.
b.) Comparison where you can find where you rank in collecing gifts among your neighbors.
c.)Presents where you can find all the presents you have received from neighbors.

As you put Holiday Gifts underneath the tree you’ll see candy cane meter on the left fill up. The physical look of the Holiday Tree on your farm also changes depending on how many Holiday Gifts you put into it. Here are some examples:

Now when you redeem one of the gifts you will be taken to this pop up.
you have the new option of sharing that in the form of Holiday Presents for up to five of your FarmVille friends (the exact number depends on the prize):

You’ll then be taken to a window where you can choose which of your friends you want to send the Present to.
The next time that friend logs in, they will see a message stating they received that Present. They won’t know what it is (but they’ll know who it is from). You can see how many Presents you’ve received, and from whom, by clicking on the “Presents” tab in the Holiday Tree window. All Presents will be available to open on December 25, so be sure to come back to the Holiday Tree window then to dig in.
If you wind up selling the Holiday Tree for some reason, you can purchase a new one in the Market for 1 coin. After January 6, 2011, you will not be able to give Holiday Gifts via the Free Gifts page, the “Ask For Parts” button will be disabled, and you won’t be able to purchase the Holiday Tree or Holiday Gifts in the Market.
Happy holidays and Marry Christmas in advance.
