Taken from Runescape.com

The website gets a massive boost of Christmas cheer today, as we release all manner of lovely articles for your delight.

First up, you can send RuneScape-themed Christmas cards to all your friends all across the globe. These cards have been designed to be printed out, folded, signed and sent to friends and family. With three fantastic designs, there's certain to be one that fits your needs.

Postie Pete has been busily preparing himself for the season as he hops around RuneScape delivering letters and cards to everyone, and now he's had a chance to bring a few replies. Ever wondered what the graahks think about, or how Romeo got his cape? Read about all this and more in the latest Postbag from the Hedge.

Reldo has finally rounded up the last of his roving researchers and the fruits of their labour are here with the last batch of the Area Guides. Now you can travel to Morytania, the Kharidian Desert, the Feldip Hills and Tirannwn with all the knowledge you need to make it home safely.

And finally, we release a new batch of QuestHelps today. Now you can get all the help you need for Big Chompy Bird Hunting, Death Plateau, Garden of Tranquillity, Spirits of the Elid and Tears of Guthix. Remember, we're always adding quests to the QuestHelp system, so if you're stuck and we don't have it available yet, just keep checking back.

--------------------

Bob’s bell rings, are you listening?
In the land, rune is glistening -
A beautiful sight,
we're happy tonight,
walking in a RuneScape wonderland.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Find the kids, if you're willing -
A pressie for me, and plant a new tree,
walking in a RuneScape wonderland.

Snow's fallen on Karamja Volcano and there have been some strange goings on. The childerkins of Musa Point have been childernapped and some say that the gublinch are to blame! Go and see Shanty Claws, the singing werewolf sailor, in order to get the details. You can find him on the small jetty just to the north-east of the Karamja volcano. If you do well, you'll be rewarded with a free to play festive hat. Additionally, if you are a member, you will get a seasonal tree to plant in your player owned house!

In other news, the “trimmed” amulets from the new treasure trails are now appropriately marked with a (t) at the end of their object name.

The Christmas update will be removed in the first update of January. However, the rewards for it will stay in the game.

Until then, best wishes and festive cheer to all of you!

They got rid of Santa and replaced him with Shanty... It was an angry Jewish person btw, who complained about Santa resembling St Nick.

Does it *really* bother you that he doesn't look like santa? Honestly, is it offensive to you that they chose a different organization of pixels to represent that? It isn't, and shouldn't be a big deal. If some random kid feels like bitching about it, then let him. You're just doing worse right now. He complained because he felt left out and couldn't share the christmas factor. You're complaining because everything isn't exactly how you like it.

ok, yes so it bothers me...but thats how I feel. Rather than change it because a jewish kid wants in on the fun, why not add a hanukkah (sp) event or something.

I'd like to enjoy my christmas event they way it always has been on rs. CHRISTMAS...and if they change to "shanty" then why not change the santa hats to shanty hats? hmm?

this is not a flame, just my opinion. Everythings just becoming too PC these days.


as for the rest of the christmas events and what not...I like how the tree sparkles...makes me feel like I just came out of Dr. Suess's world. They letters and what not are good too. Good idea too by jagex for the xmas cards, although I don't know very many people who want them =P

I don't know what happened, but I do seem to recall a looong time ago when Andrew used to actually interact with the players that he said he was actually Jewish himself, so I don't think that one Jewish kid influenced the change, it was probably changed because as Runescape is getting bigger they want it to appeal to a wider variety of people.

Bottom line is that no matter what, someone is going to feel left out/upset, whether it's the supposed Jewish kid with Santa or Slim with Shanty. Everyone has the same right to feel what they want, so lets not argue who's wrong and who's right before this gets out of hand.
