It's that time of week again, ladies and gents, where I take you on a magic carpet ride of knowledge from around the world of MMOs. This week, what with the holiday season breathing down our necks, gift shopping and wrapping consuming our souls, and the ever-present excitement that I can drink Egg Nog ANY TIME I WANT, I've decided that this week's Quiz will be about some of those little holiday events you may have been hearing about for the past few days/weeks.

So I give you, the Ate-Too-Much-Food-During-The-Holidays QUIZ!

Q: What is the name used for the holiday festivities in Star Wars Galaxies?

Answer

"You, boy. What day is this?"

"Why, it's Wookiee Life Day, sir!" That's right! Wookiee Life Day falls around the same time as our holidays and players are rewarded with winter themed quests, decorating trees for the rebellion and, of course, destroying presents for those dastardly grinches... I mean... the Empire.

Q: In what 2010 release can I go to Frostburgh, and, for thirty days, celebrate Frostivus by starting and participating in some snowball fights, collecting candy canes, and building ginger bread houses?

LEGO Universe. Not to stray off topic in my own answer, but I just thought about building a LEGO snowball. And about how much that would hurt. Think about it.
