Talk:Wintersday

Dynastic Reckoning

 * "Wintersday falls on the 1st day of the Season of the Zephyr on the Mouvelian Calendar. The first day of the new year by the Dynastic Reckoning calendar falls on a different date. See Canthan New Year for details."

What? The Canthan New Year article says that the Canthan calendar starts on a different date, it doesn't say anything about Dynastic Reckoning. -- Gordon Ecker 21:44, 28 April 2007 (CDT)

Wintersday 08
Too early to start article? Lindsey posted some info in her journal, Gwens Garden sounds interesting w/e it is 76.188.100.220 18:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Given all the information at : http://www.guildwars.com/events/ingame/wintersday2008/ I don't see why it would be too early for such an article.Zebulin 19:18, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Tie between Dwayna and Grenth?
I doubt this has ever happened, but I wonder, what would happen if we got a situation that they had a tie? Would the dialog be different? Would the game do something weird and act like they both won, give double presents, or would it act like they both lost, giving no presents? Thoughts, idea on how to do this, and general, relitive, kind comments welcome. Draven Deadlesser 08:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Wintersday in July trivia note
While I suspect that it may have been the marketing campaign referenced that prompted the event, the concept of Christmas in July actually originates from the southern hemisphere. The idea behind it is that most traditional Christmas fare is more suited to winter than to summer (for obvious reasons), so many families in Australia compensate by having Christmas dinner be something lighter and more suited for summer while saving the traditional Christmas feast for wintertime.
