Looks like your letter to Greatfather Winter didn't get lost. Previously sold out to BlizzCon attendees, the LARP edition Doomhammer from Epic Weapons is now restocked and available to the public for the first time! Weighing in at 3lbs, this 22" x 10" x 7" soft-yet-sturdy polyurethane and PVC replica is the perfect present for any warchief on your shopping list.
Merry New Year! The celebration begins at 6:00 a.m. Realm-Time December 31 with fireworks in the skies above the cities, and repeats every hour on the hour. Feel free to sample some of the exotic brews and libations carted in from around the world, and dance in celebration as a new year dawns. If you're on a PvP realm you're cautioned to steer clear of Booty Bay (or potentially visit with haste) as the guards there appear to have had too much fun already and aren't likely to be enforcing the town rules until morning.
Presents! There's now a presence of presents under the tree near Greatfather Winter in Orgrimmar for Horde, and Ironforge for Alliance. Be sure to stop by and pick up this year's exclusive gift before the event ends on January 2.
From everyone at Blizzard to you and yours, have a safe and happy holiday season…and you better watch out for this guy!
The sweets have been scrutinized, the cakes contemplated, and the cookies critiqued.

His bicycle tires don't run flat; they explode. When news breaks, he fixes it. His collection of vintage Blizzard memorabilia could fill a garage... and it does. They made a Diablo creature in his honor, but it was deemed too frightening to include in the game.
The wayward plans concocted by judges of the 2009 and 2010 Global Writing Contests have been foiled, and the Ocunomicon has been cast back into the howling Sightless Abyss whence it came. This victory would not have been possible without you, the writers, bravely wielding the ink-drenched Quills of a Thousand Truths! Even with two years' worth of ocular fortitude strengthening their retinal acumen, the judges were unable to withstand the sheer number and magnificent quality of this year's entries...
At Blizzard, we love running contests! Contests give you a chance to be creative and win prizes, and they give us a chance to display the awesome results of your creativity. You can always find our current contests on the Blizzard Contest page.
