Agree, it was a Holiday Cheer sent to us by our Devs, to do with and what we wanted to do. It was fun, loveable and put a smile to my face.
I wish they'd create more things like this just for fun.
Easter= Easter Egg. (COMING UP SOON!)
Valentines Day = heart shaped box of chocolates/ roses
St. Patrick's Day = Shamrock (gives a bonus to Luck when equipped in the brag spot?)
4th of July/ Guy Fawkes Day = firecrackers
etc etc. There are plenty of holidays all year long to pick from. Mix it up with different ones from various countries if you feel like it.
