Correct me if i'm wrong But if you think about, New years is sort of religious because there is the Chinese New year but i don't know if they celebrate both.
I think the whole debate that TNT isn't releasing avatars/sidebars of holidays because of global "religious" differences is reaching.
Examples from the past:
Valentine's day is a custom celebrated on the 14th of February, the date of the death of
Saint Valentine. Let's not forget the V-day rings, V day shirts, plushies, foods, and earrings also on the site.
Easter's roots is about celebration the resurrection of Christ. The easter cybunny and all his easter neggs would have been rethought ages before if this was
really an issue.
Just about anyone knows how many Halloween items there are on neo, as well as pets.
Halloween itself is a holiday chock full of religious traditions.
And a sidebar had already been released with that theme.
Yup, this is a Christmas Paint Brush. If the religious debate really was an issue, I'd assume it would be a "Seasonal Paint Brush" or even an "X-Mas Paint Brush" and the pets it paints would be named accordingly.
So, basically I think it boils down to this...TNT just hasn't "gotten to it". Not that they aren't doing it because they feel it'll have social reprocussions from the site players.
The religious thing is just an excuse in my opinion...
