They should have collecters items again too.

Like collect 5 white mandle badges and you get some fireworks!

Interestingly enough, Jesus wasn't even born in December. His birthdate is not known exactly but is generally agreed to have been sometime in the spring. The early Christian church simply declared December 25 as Jesus's birthday to compete with the current pagan celebrations of other birthdays such as the Roman god Mithras. If you're interested in details, ther are tons of websites such as http://wilstar.com/xmas/xmassymb.htm, and a very thorough book called Suns of God.

But my point being... these holidays are such a mish-mash of traditions already... as long as ANet doesn't start spawning nativity scenes in Lion's Arch, I think we can rest assured that no one religious tradition is held above the others
