While speaking with $plnkfull468, he will mention that they have noticed that the people of Falador, Lumbridge, and Varrock aren't as excited for Christmas this year. $plnkfull468 will ask you to help the Imps figure this out and solve the problem. Accept the quest and he will team you up with an old friend imp friend (name will vary), who will follow you throughout the remainder of the quest. If he is lost at any time, he can be found on top of the barrel near the quest start point.

Once $plnkfull468 has paired you with the imp, he will leave to deal with more stuff for Christmas. Speak to your imp and he will give you the lowdown on the current situation. Long story short, there are no decorations in those cities and thus no excitement for Christmas. The imp will suggest talking to the nearby city representatives to develop a plan.

Walk East and either investigate the Christmas spirit map (table) or speak to one of the city representatives. They will discuss the current state of affairs in each of the cities before filling you in on their plan. They want to create a bunch of deccys (decorations) and decorate each of the cities in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. This is of course where you come in!

Before you can runoff to the cities however, you must first help make some of the decorations. Walk North and interact with the "Crate of unfinished decorations" or the "Decoration bench". You will get a blue bar above your head while creating things. Once the bar has filled, the imp will tell you to meet them at the cities.

Note that the cities can be decorated in any order. In typical RuneHQ fashion, we will be taking the alphabetical route. Within each of the cities, you will need to do the same thing in the same order before proceeding.
- Investigate the sleigh to discover all the decorations and snow imps have gone missing - red star
- Locate and interact with 5 piles of snow (any order) - gold star
- Create a Christmas tree - green star

With all the cities decorated, return to Santa's Grotto and interact with the Christmas spirit map or speak to one of the city representatives again. They will let you know that $plnkfull468 stopped by and was very pleased with your progress on creating Christmas Spirit. He has also left you a note with a request.

Walk to the giant sack just South West of the table and interact with it. You will immediately open the letter and receive a Santa's sack. Within the sack are 5 presents which you will need to hand out.

Click the sack to open a window with an image "list" of 16 NPCs. You can choose ANY 5 of them to give the presents to; no repeats, they must be 5 different NPCs. Clicking on the faces will give you information about them on the Right side of the screen. Note that not all of the NPCs can be selected if you are completing this on a F2P world.
