I've gotten all but the green Star, have the key, and know which pew I should be looking at, but I can't find the hotspot. Any tips?

Try the window

underground. My hint is to "Check an underground walkway. How many objects are there?". I've looked, and counted each of the items shown in the walkway, put them to the correct number but still nothing happens

the box and all the other stars and my hint is the day before xmas. does it have to do with roman numerals?

it's in the box, the code is

the little nest/hay thingy in the corner of the underground room

EVE

why would the picture still be there after 10 years? and the graffiti on the chair... dont people clean up this church?

For the black star guys, what is the day before christmas called? Christmas ___

What's another word for the day before Christmas?

the straw puzzle in the corner of the basement. It's just blinking a pattern at me, but repeating the pattern doesn't do anything. I feel like it's mocking me. :P

the solution has nothing to do with Roman numerals and everything to do with what we call the day before Xmas

The Hint says "the day before xmas"

Zoom in on the box (if you already found it) and put in the code.

Have you looked very carefully in the hallway in the basement? There's a picture on the right side you might be interested in.

What picture? I see the picture with the four symbols on it, and the box with three symbols on it, and of course, the last piece for that box is locked up behind a massive combination lock... where does 3 come into it?

Don't forget to click "English" beforehand!

1. Spoiler

   Standing at the very back of the church (near the door and facing the cross), you see two rows of eight pews. Under the pew closest to the door on the right, find a BLUE STAR.

2. Spoiler

   The wreath second from the door on the left (if you're facing the big cross) has a RED STAR in it.

3. Spoiler

   Under the pew second-closest to the big cross on the left (if you're facing the cross) find a YELLOW STAR.

4. Spoiler

   Look in the podium with the cross on it (to the right of the big cross). Find a BOX. Notice that you need to enter a three-letter code (and those letters must be D, E, V, I, or L). If you've already found the blue, red, and yellow stars, clicking the Hint button will tell you how to open the box.

   Spoiler

   "The day before Xmas." Which means the code for the box is

   Spoiler

   "EVE"

   You now have a BLACK STAR.

5. Spoiler

   Look under the shelf where you got the box. Find a STAR KEY.

6. Spoiler

   Open up the book under the big cross. No scriptures here, just a story about a dragon. A colorful story. Remember those colors for later, and also make note of the diagrams. At the back of the book, there is a different diagram, this one with a big cross (look familiar?), some rectangles, and a star. The rectangles are windows, and the cross is the big cross in the church.

7. Spoiler

   Go to the window indicated by the diagram in the back of the book. There's a keyhole. Use the star key on it, and get the GREEN STAR.

8. Spoiler

   Go up to the big cross again, and turn left. There's a panel in the floor with a star on it, and places to put the stars you've collected so far. But what order do you put them in?

9. Spoiler

   Go back to the book and read Chapter 1. There are two colors mentioned in this chapter (blue and yellow). There is also a triangle with a white star at the top. This is a hint about the floor panel. The next chapter has a hint for the other half of the floor panel puzzle. It mentions the colors red and green, and has a triangle with a black star at the bottom.

10. Spoiler

    Go to the floor panel with the stars on it. Using the information you got from the book, put the stars where they belong. The order they go in is:

    Spoiler

    Clockwise from the white star at the top: white, red, blue, black, yellow, green.

    Flip the switch at the bottom of the puzzle and the panel opens up to reveal a ladder leading down.

11. Spoiler

    Go down the ladder and forward once. On the right wall of the hallway is a picture with four brooms and some numbers. You can click on the brooms, and they change to an empty candle holder, a bit of string, or a candle holder with a candle. Remember this for later.

12. Spoiler

    Go into the basement room. In front of you is a table with a golden box on it. On this box you see some rectangles, and a green star. You've seen this before, right? But what are those numbers for? You can change them for some reason.

13. Spoiler

    If you turn right from the table, you see a plaque on the wall with four symbols on it, one of which is a green star (hey, didn't you just see a green star on that box on the table?). Against the wall the plaque is on there's another gold box. This one has the same symbols as the plaque, only the green star is missing. Turning right, you see a bookshelf with a locked blue box on it.

14. Spoiler

    Look more closely at the room. There are a lot more items in there, including brooms, empty candle holders, candle holders with candles, and bits of string. Hey! Let's count them. (With the bits of string in the corner, count the circles. Each end of string is circled, with two ends per string. Meaning the number of strings is half the number of circles.)

    Spoiler

    Brooms: 4, Empty Candle Holders: 7, Candle Holders w/Candles: 2, Strings: 3.

    Put those numbers into the picture in the hallway. It tells you the steamer is on.

15. Spoiler

    Go back upstairs and take a look at the windows. They've been steamed up, and now you can see numbers on them. Write down the numbers in the order they appear on the windows (notice that the window you got the green star from has no number).

16. Spoiler

    Go downstairs again to the golden box with the numbers on it. Input the numbers from the windows. It sould look like this:

    Spoiler

    18
    2*
    03
    71

    Now take the GREEN STAR TILE.

17. Spoiler

    Put the green star tile in the other golden box. Open the box and take the GOLD KEY.

18. Spoiler

    Use the gold key to open the blue box on the bookshelf. Take the CARD with the snowman on it.

19. Spoiler

    On the back of the snowman card you see yet another diagram. Go back upstairs to the pew indicated. See the message, then click back.

The end! Merry Christmas, everyone!

When you come down the ladder, there's a hallway in front of you. Click forward once, so that you're still in the hallway, then click towards your upper right. There's a picture there with four squares you can change.

Start from the star that's already there in the book's diagram (white or black). Then see what order the colors occur in in the story. Put the colors (in story order) into the triangles following the arrows, then put the triangles together to form a six-pointed star.

That should open the floor panel for you.

Return to the lectern where you found the box. Click under the shelf to find a white key hanging underneath and take it. Now back up, turn right, go forward once, and turn left. Click on the window just to the left of the wreath with the blue bow. Click once on the white key to select it, then click on the window's lock.
