So, obviously, everyone is excited for the "Christmas Event". Except for one thing: it isn't a Christmas Event. It's a New Year's Event. No matter what anyone says, the majority of KK is still going to think it's a Christmas Event. Now, this was perfectly fine up until people started asking for Christmas related stuff - nothing religious of course (who celebrates Christmas as a religious holiday, anyway?), but still, things about Santa and Christmas traditions. Now, even Christmas traditions are acceptable: Christmas trees, lights, presents; they're all fine for everyone, especially the presents since they aren't holiday specific. But Santa is a little...eh....I think it's a bit too much. Even if traditions for other religions weren't included, Christmas trees (which DO appear in KK) are fine because they give off the feeling of "that time of year", and even people who aren't Christian are comfortable with it (heck, I've got a pusheen Christmas tree plush ornament in the car with me right now). Santa is way too Christmas specific. Again, it's one thing to have an evergreen pine with multicolored lights on it, another to have santa's beard and sleigh as game items. I know some of you will think I'm overreacting because I'm part of another religion, but just listen. When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to read Christmas books, or books related to Santa. But I was allowed to read books that weren't about Christmas, yet they still had Christmas elements in them, like Christmas trees. The New Year's Event isn't about Christmas, but it has Christmas elements, nothing too religious. And I think, this year, it would be nice to have everyone feel involved. Believe it or not, there are quite a few players of other religions on KK. Now, the KK mods won't let me say this on the blog, but I expect everyone to treat this event like a HOLIDAY event. Yes, it's a New Year's Event; yes, it has elements from holidays (mostly Christmas). It isn't specific to everyone.

I don't mean any offense to anyone, but let's just think of everyone's holidays this year, and not just Christmas. Thank you for reading, and have a nice New Year's Event. 🙂
