I spend all month looking at shitty sweaters, listening to people bitch about gifts, parking, Aunt Jenny and her damn Cats in sweaters.
I log in to get away from it. I celebrate (if you can call it that) in my real, honest to God life.
Can't we have some peace somewhere? One day I'm going to shoot that fat bastard and his stuffy glowing nose reindeer out of the sky and get drunk sitting on his fat corpse.
And just smile.
No Virginia, there isn't a Santa...:
[spoiler]yeah, I work retail. [/spoiler]
Do you mean celebrate in-game a la Festival of Lost?
No, and here's why. FotL was religion agnostic, it was essentially lore in the game, nothing real.
Leave the religious holidays out of the game (this includes all of them). Leave it for people to celebrate in their personal lives.
This way we avoid the whole childish "well, [i]they[/i] got [u]that[/u], so [i]we[/i] should get [u]this[/u]" reasoning. I use the word reasoning loosely there, obviously.
Instead, give us something original like FotL. Keep it light hearted. Separation of church and state? How about separation of church and video game.
I'm all for multicultural celebrations as long as people don't get salty about it! They can add a bit of extra content into the game as well as making the tower look super fancy!
