    I can't see the link between Halloween and Eorzea or the Middle Earth.
    You'll see, in December, SE will do like if the Christ was known in Eorzea.

    /sigh

    You do know that Christmas wasn't born as the celebration of Christ's birth, right? It was originally celebrating the Winter Solstice. The Church later on claimed the son of God to have been born the 25th December, merely because they wanted to impose religion over pagan festivities.

    I'm trying to find out who really gives a damn about that in this here game?
    Halloween usually in the real world: We all dress up the kiddies and have fun spookin' people, watch scary movies, and most of all, GET CANDY!
    I don't give no crap about no damn Salami Witch Hunt, Celebrating Satan's ass or any of that BS.
    Christmas: Time of giving, family and other fun stuff. PRESENTS! Love you Jesus but yeah, I just wanna have fun.

    Point is, no one cares about that. The events shouldn't be lackluster ok.
    Christmas could have a funny fight dungeon, giving gifts to NPC'S; maybe the Scion's, the kids, and bringing Christmas spirit into Eorzea
    and give them fun because of 5 years ago and stuff, I dunno but don't make it stupid. -_-

    Edit: ALSO PLEASE PUT TATARU AND WEDGE UNDER MISTLETOE SE PLZ!
    And put me under there with Thancred -cough;
