I take offence to this! For crying out loud, it's SUMMER here in Australia!!! :banana:

just kidding, but it is summer...

Me too, sitting in shorts and Tshirt as I type this, got to 32 degrees Celsius today ! The whole world isn't America for pete's sake! (not Bethesda's Pete)

Strangely, I escaped the 32 degree days, buy coming from Melb. to Bris. for the holiday! And it's raining here. Go figure...

Merry XMas indeed !

Yeah, merry Christmas. But maybe we should say Happy Holiday or something, to respect the non-christian members.
But, the game is great.

Happy Holiday from Norway.

What s that .... I do wish *Happy Ramadan* to muslim classmates, and they do wish me merry xmas, no trouble there. Same for hindu, budhists, and even atheists. That s what respect is all about

Happy Saturday to everyone

I think we owe them some gratitude for still staying relatively true to the series' roots. Though this thread reminded me that it's a shame they didn't implement holidays this time either. My character has already been in the game for half a year I think, so it would have made sense.

You've all done an amazing job, I hope you are all enjoying some well-deserved time off with loved ones during the holidays. :tes:

I just wanted to offer this quote from Anita Frazier at NPD group:

"In one month, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is just about half a million units shy of matching Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in lifetime sales. Its first month performance was a five-fold increase over Oblivion's first-month sales. The game garnered outstanding review scores."

Also, just a reminder about perceptions of Christmas as a holiday... Christmas is celebrated in Japan, but only about 10% of the nation considers themselves Christian, so it is not celebrated as a religious holiday but simply as a celebration called "Christmas." This might also be worth considering since Bethesda is one of the few Western game companies to succeed in Japan, and this fact is especially interesting because Beth's games are pretty much the antithesis to various elements that have been claimed to be specific differences in acceptance between Japanese and Western game markets. I see a merging and cross-cultural exchange taking place, and hopefully this will continue in both directions with Western games offering much more East Asian visual aesthetics for character art, amongst other elements.

If someone feels offended by the word "christmas": English is not my native language, i didn't know that i also can write "Happy Holidays".

May I add my own Seasons Greetings and a Merry Christmas! Skyrim has certainly been an early Christmas gift, and I do look forward to the awesome add-ons and downloadable content to come. Best wishes for an awesome 2012.

Let's hope the western market matures beyond vein and lazy "Asian visual aesthetics". One androgynous Dovavahvahvahkinnikin and I'm giving up on video gaming altogether.

Oh God I hope you're only kidding. If not you're ignorant and xenophobic. Obviously the guy was American so it's winter for him, what's wrong with wishing winter goodwill. Oh that's right he's American so it's perfectly acceptable to be rude and ignorant to him. Typical
