Assuming this entry is genuine, this would be the first time the word "Christmas" has been used in-game. ANet take great care in not offending anyone of any particular faith, hence Wintersday. Mis-named? Bogus? Idiocy on my part? --SnogratUser Snograt signature.png 12:57, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Could be misnamed, I have not seen the item myself, but I have seen one active in kamadan so it is legit. --Lemming64 12:59, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
No-one with a straight head minds things like that.. ;) if it is correct, probably everyone who saw the thing at ANet saw no problem with the name. — Skuld 13:01, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
Guildwiki has it down as Wintersday elf, I am trying to find one in game to screenshot to confirm one way or the other. --Lemming64 13:03, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
lol both wrong! Elf screenshot for discussion.jpg :) --Lemming64 13:07, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
Hah, justification :p - for the record, over-blown political correctness really annoys me: I didn't make this point because the word "Christmas" offends me - I am an atheist, and I love Christmas. I just couldn't see ANet using the word in-game when they have thus far shied away from it. --SnogratUser Snograt signature.png 14:43, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

It is true. Anet does go to great lengths to not offend people and they do stress that it is not Christmas but Wintersday.--Morgase 15:17, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

It makes the game less centered on the American concept. So it can be more easily adapted for other countries where there are less christians. (i think, am i on a good idea here or completely off) --Vhalantru 20:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Not specifically an American concept, just christian. Besides, Americans are doing the PC thing too. See [1] --onoes! Mafaraxas 23:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
