    This pretty much ties it up for me... I have nothing against other religions or their celebrations but I believe that a change like these too sudden

    this pretty much sums up my opinion. Basically while Christmas may technically be a Christmas holiday, it has since evolved to have many more aspects along with it, and nothing on skyblock is really celebrating the religious side of Christmas, just the stereotypical and fun side

    I really like the fact that you're trying to include other religious holidays into this and I think a lot of us appreciate that. However I feel like this could cause some unnecessary confusion and may offend some people. Santa Claus for example is extremely well known and I know a lot of people who celebrate the gift giving aspect of Christmas despite not being part of the religion. I think how things are right now is fine, however the idea itself is quite inclusive and thoughtful so props to you for that.

    We could maybe add more DP events but I would suggest avoiding religious ones.

    I agree that we shouldn’t make Christmas into a religious thing for the server. The heads just symbolise the usual non religious symbols or winter based symbols so I think while the gesture is good the application isn’t appropriate

    Support. The coca-cola santa clause is a modern novelty and not representative of the history of winter festivals.

    EDIT: The coca-cola santa is non-religious but commonly claimed by Christians. I'm all for some diversity awareness and maybe a little history lesson in the silliness we call Christmas today. How about a Krampus head to start?
