>***  Please dress up for the party!  The easiest way to dress up is to
>change your character's description; guests can do this, too.
>     Just type:
>        @describe me as <whatever you want to look like>
>     Press <Enter> when you finish the description (don't press <Enter>
>till you're finished, though).
>     Example:
>@describe me as Wearing a read and green leisure suit.  There are jingle
>bells on his socks and a big grin on his face. (Press <Enter>)
>
>Please bring a decoration for the Tuesday Cafe!  (Unfortunately, only those
>who have regular MediaMOO characters can do this.)
>
>***  Create an object appropriate for a holiday you're celebrating and put
>it in the Tuesday Cafe.  If you've never made anything on the MOO before,
>here's an easy way to make a decoration:
>
>   @create $thing named <whatever you want to call it> (Press <Enter>)
>(You'll get a message confirming that you now have an object; if you look
>at yourself, you'll see that you're carrying it.)
>   @describe <object name> as <what you want it to look like> (Press <Enter>)
>(You'll get a message telling you the description of your object is set.)
>Example:
>   @create $thing named Snowman <Enter>
>   @describe Snowball as A big snowman with stick arms and charcoal eyes
>and a carrot nose like the one I hope the kids will be able to make on
>Christmas day.  (Press <Enter>)
>
>After you've made your decoration, go to the Tuesday Cafe and do this:
>   drop <name of object> <Enter>
>Your decoration is now in the Tuesday Cafe for everyone to see.
>
>See you all on Tuesday!
