Three thumbs up out of two - Yule Lads are a happening thang. Play-acting CCP minions re-invented as goofy hapless scafes really worked for me. Beyond hilarious! I found myself looking forward to revealing what nightly trinkets were to be had at zero hour - that added to the seasonal entertainment value for the entire week and a half. The trinkets were great - varied, creative, interesting, and something for everybody. Who wasn't wondering what the denouement would bring, and what's there about the Leopard not to like? The movie was play-it-more-than-once genuinely clever, fun, and even memorable.
The whole schtick got me interested enough to find out that the whole Yule Lads thing is very much an actual, very real Icelandic holiday ritual. Fantasy firmly rooted in actual age-old tradition - a decided plus which added even more to the enjoyment factor.
Bravo. Well done. Do it again in 2014. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Pardon me, but is that a stick up . . . nevermind. We all know you couldn't have hated this holiday celebration more, but fear not - April Fools will be here soon enough. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Other than maybe they'll run it again next year, do you mind telling me what bountious goodness you expect I'll receive from CCP for approving of their Christmas program?
Or perhaps you're just making lame jokes, yes? There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

I honestly wonder how many will be left at the end of the month. I like them well enough that I'm going to play the market and reserve a few. Not for resale - I want to have a few in my stables. It's a very nice item. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Although fashion items certainly looked "holiday" enough, perhaps specialty "holiday only" fashion items instead of ones that already exist. I learned things from the synth booster - didn't know that it was permissible in hisec. Now I'm researching boosters and taking them more seriously.
Holiday gift-giving is tailor made for collectibles, so fedo was a hit, not to mention the Leopard. Some people apparently missed the entire event, and I just learned that it was rolled out last year as well. I wasn't aware that it was, but some of that may have been "on me" - I was overseas a lot last year. Still, it pays to advertise. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

Get people into pvp feel risk free for a few days without trashing the markets Now that's an innovative idea! There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

If you do this again next year, maybe certain people won't whine knowing some mundane stuff will be sprinkled in with some really cool stuff. Loved the Leopard. Had my indy alt take it out soon as it was redeemed and made a 20 jump round trip to "home" and back to where he's salvaging my missions. Timed on my cell phone stopwatch he took 10 min 12 seconds to undock, touch home station, and get back. Extreme agility. Veeery Cool. "Just a shuttle" indeed. And I do have a couple uses for it.. And as for the mundane stuff - some stuff I will use, other stuff will be melted down to make stuff I'll use. That simple. Thanks for everything. Oh, by the way.....can you guys come out with a recipe book next year for how to cook fedo? I like guns, but I like speed too. Hear that Quirko?
The gift thing succeeded more its surprise factor than necessarily by its actual content. Some days, at least. I had just bought a bunch of t2 mining laser upgrades, for instance, the same day I was gifted a bunch of them. No big deal - what was more than worthwhile was anticipating all day to see what was hiding under that button.
