Yeah better not get into the “he wasn’t even born at Christmas that was a pagan festival the church usurped” argument

Lol. No, definitely not. I have no interest in the religious aspect of Christmas, pagan or otherwise, and find the commercial aspects morally repugnant.

I wish they'd make bobbleheads based on rare goods or powerplayers, rather than snowmen and characters from other video games.

The first day of Christmas is the 25th of December and the 12th day is the 5th of January?
Attempts to bring the to 12 days before Christmas day are a very recent and corporate effort to hype and sell more in the christmas run up.

No. The twelve days of Christmas begin with the birth of Christ. Google if you don't believe. Advent counts down to Christmas, the twelve days counts from Christmas.
I am an athiest myself, so dont really give a hoot.

You all don't want to chase this trail of pedanticism to its end. You'll find out the 25th of December isn't what you've been told it is.

Nothing there that makes my debit card eagerly jump out my wallet, however I'll probably grab the chromed dolphin, gold cobra and possibly the chromed viper later on when burning some birthday money on some of the later and hopefully more irresistible festive paints. Having gold(en) and chrome(d) cutter vette conda etc like Karrde Sun I also have a glut of premium looking skins, personally I'm hoping for some love for imperial clipper, that would look sweet in chrome(d) or gold(en)

Nothing there, but I'll buy a bunch of stuff anyway?

Clearly a person after my own heart here! ;)

Christmas is a dystopian period where we are all programmed through the onslaught of music, incessant advertising and bright lights to part with the fruits of our labours to offer up sacrifice on the alter of commercialism!

That being said I'm off this xmas and new year for the first time in a decade so that may improve my mood.

Happy holidays folks!

If/When something jumps out at me as a must have, I'll scoop those ones up in the cart just because I like metalic shinies, but I'm not going to crack out the debit card just for those three. During the previous twelve days campaigns, there were other things that were simply must haves for me like chrome cutter and chrome corvette.

Wow the chrome actually looks like chrome and not stainless like the Conda "chrome" paint. That Dolphin looks great.

Just a possible heads up.. from the iridescent gleams from the LEP freebies, the new skins may look nothing like the images on the store page.

In game on the larger ships, they look like chromed with a mild pink highlight.

The screenshots of the dbx and srv look like they're reflecting back some station color... or they could be just muddy yellow.
