Linden Lab have announced their fourth annual winter festival. I can’t resist making an obvious comment – who decided that a virtual world has seasons that match the US / Europe seasonal cycle?
Ethnocentrism at its very best. Bah humbug.

SF, CA, USA based company, so they’re likely going ot mirror what they see outside their door. Likewise, I’m sure the Winter festival started when SL was largely a US thing.
Frankly, though, I’m not gonna get worked up one way or another. Genocide in Darfur or this, you know?

*Yawn* What a non-issue. Change it into an event in July, and the other half of the population will complain. Hobson’s, really.
