Wintersday is coming...
It's that time of year again... children receiving gifts, the religious among us celebrating the respective feasts, family time, and the Guild Wars Wintersday. A common Christmas tradition with Arenanet, Wintersday is the neutral feast of the winter and the fights of the gods. Check out the event page for more information!

The nights may be long and dark, but Tyrians of all races keep joy alive during the ancient holiday of Wintersday. While each race celebrates Wintersday in their own unique way, children all over Tyria share a common love of one thing: toys.
This year the city of Lion’s Arch will host the asuran Toymaker Tixx as their special Wintersday guest of honor. Before Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch in his massive airship toy workshop, he’ll visit every major city in Tyria to deliver Wintersday toys and holiday cheer.

Yeah, there's absolutely no way that the game can live up to this picture.

It can, but I assume it will come paired with a giant amount of lag and crashes. I mean, the MKT cutscene was awesome... if they can do something like that without the James bond 007 error that occurred after the cutscene, they may have something awesome on their hands.

EDIT: Better yet, why is the toy maker not some old jolly norn? That much better fits the 'santa' theme then a tiny alien looking creature.

WHY does every events major NPC have to be an Asura?

Halloween, we helped that asura member of the priory. FotM is based on an Asura's work in the mists, The first NPC to warn us about the Karka was another Asura. The only difference this time is, atleast this one is a male.

Make it a charr, name him santa paws, and dress him up in a santa costume.

I hope snowball fights make a return. That for me was the most enjoyable part of GW1.
I wonder if they are going to decorate all the major cities, going by that article. If I had to make the decision, I would have each holiday take place in a different capitol city, spreading the population over the year, but o well...

I dont care what it is just not asura. Im tired of an NPC that is so tiny he becomes invisible because every player surrounds him and since he only knee high he disappears. That and they are annoying.

They could just have it off in the air in the distance like the Wizard's Tower in Kessex. It can be relatively lower detail for that.
