Bungie should host a Christmas event.

There. I said it. For the last few times December has passed by, all we ever get is Strange Coins from some unknown benefactor. Well I say to hell with that! We've got Valentines Day and Halloween. Why not do an event for [i]one of the most celebrated holidays there is[/i]. -Snowing in the Tower -Shaxx with a Santa Hat -Rahool as the Grinch -And more "[i]CHRISTMASY[/i]" events Whether or not people don't want this for "controversial" reasons, I don't care about that. This is gonna have to happen someday. We call it "Winter's Fair" and it's based around the Fallen House of Winter and Variks in the Reef. -Ever since Draksis was killed, the House of Winter has been looking for a new Kell to replace him. -Nikoliksis, Winter Claw, now seeks to claim Draksis's throne for himself by using the "Scarlet Septum"; a Vex-made power source from the future, to rebuild the House of Winter from the ground-up. -Return to Venus and hunt down Nikoliksis before he gains enough power all over the Ishtar Sink. [spoiler]Edit2: I keep hearing this "Christmas is a Christian holiday" crap. Well here's a little know fact for ya that I'm gonna quote from a certain friend on here: [quote]it was previously the Pagan festival of Yule, before the Christians stole it and re-marketed it as Christmas to fit their Dogma, so it had been a time of celebration for centuries before anyone had ever heard of 'Christ'[/quote] [b][i][u]CHRISTMAS WAS NOT ORIGINALLY A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY.[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler] Edit: well I'm glad to see this is getting some positive results! Let's keep this thread bumping! Keep the good vibes going! BTW no offense to anybody out there, we're not trying to persecute (at least im not) you guys or anything. We just want a winter holiday event without any complaints is all. :) So I guess we [i]can[/i] call it "Winter's Fair" then! :D [b]Edit3: okay...um remember when I said "keep the good vibes going"? I'm seeing less of that now. Enough with the arguments and Christian implications, let's all just agree to have a Winter holiday event. Let it snow![/b] Edit4: I see some people like the thought of Rahool as the Grinch, so I composed a short little song together for that ;) [spoiler]You're a mean one, Mr. Rahool. You really are deprived. You're as cuddly as a Cabal, You're as charming as the Hive. Mr. Rahool. You're a Legendary Engram That gives us a green helmet. You're a monster, Mr. Rahool. Your heart's a deep black hole. Your brain is full of salt, You better give me MIDA Multi-Tool! Mr. Rahool. I wouldn't touch you, with Variks' weird claw-looking pole.[/spoiler]

  • Where I work, we're required to say "happy holidays". Which, to be honest, probably offends more people than saying "merry Christmas" would.

  • SGA: There are 2 different Christmas holidays that take place at the same time: secular Christmas and religious Christmas. It's possible, and VERY prevalent these days, to celebrate secular Christmas but not religious Christmas (or vise versa). To forever link the two together is ignorant. Christmas trees have absolutely NOTHING to do with Jesus (and vise versa). Ditto for Easter. 2 different holidays. They don't have to be connected. So atheists can feel free to dress up as the Easter bunny and hide eggs. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for marriage. :( There are two different marriage contracts that take place at the same time: a contract with the state, and if you're religious, a contract with God. It's possible for an atheist to have the former without the latter, but it's impossible for a religious person to have the latter without the former. The state is in your bedroom, like it or not.

  • It wouldn't fit in with the lore. They would have to do the same thing they did with Halloween and Valentine's Day; make it similar to the holiday but not a direct celebration of it. Almost all of the remnants of the pre-Golden Age era have been lost. It wouldn't make sense for the Tower to suddenly celebrate a holiday of that time period. The event would just have to be something of similar nature. Other than that, it sounds fine to me. Oh, and to the nonsensical Atheists out there who are whining about a Christmas event "imposing Christianity on them", f[b]u[/b]ck off. I'm Atheist too, but I still celebrate it. Christmas has lost the majority of its religious value. It is largely a cultural phenomena now.

  • I asked for an event last year. It's not going to happen because it might offend the tiny dancers who don't celebrate christmas.

  • Did you know this is the number one event that gets most company's sued by private sectors, so most company's instead of a christmas party they hold a holiday get together and try to have it just before new years or just after new years that way it can not be associated with Christmas. It's just sad I love Christmas, for years I have watched how my state ( Colorado ) would fight off law suits because they had the nativity scenes on the court house, they finally had a private company sponsor it so that the private sector would not try to sue the state to show Christmas scenes. It's just wrong that people get upset because you like Christmas, every one has the right to like or dislike Christmas but to tell them they are not allowed to show how much you like a holiday there is something wrong with there mind set

  • You know all the non Christians get their panties in a bunch. "don't Impose your religion on me. My weak feeble mind can't handle people with different beliefs than me." smh. They act like a bunch of children every time someone suggest a Christmas event. Wish they would grow up.

        There's a reason why some games (Assassin's Creed for example) have the "This game was created by a multicultural team of various faiths and religions" disclaimer. Showing a bias to one would be a bad move, regardless of how minor it seems (to those who share the bias, obviously).

        • Listen, stop being entitled. They do fun little celebrations because they feel like it. I've seen this post again and again since release. They don't want to bring any kind of winter celebration to the game. Just like the 4th and[spoiler]the most celebrated holiday[/spoiler] thanksgiving and saint pattys. Stop thinking a day or season is special because of a commercial. [spoiler]as someone who is aware the entire xmas isn't a Christian holiday holds water but doesn't change public perception[/spoiler]

          • Just gunna throw this out there... Santa Giant lit tree in the tower Creepy Snowmen everywhere Lights Reindeer Snow Gingle bell music of some sort Gifts waiting at the postmaster A group of "tower staff" (humans and robots) located at the "iron banner door" singing winter themed carols when you walk by them. Did anyone think of a celebration of Christ being born or any particular religious celebration with anything I listed above? No? Then what's the problem with a "winter themed celebration"
