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

The reason that SL follows the European weather cycle is simple. Linden Labs is based in the United States. Nuf said.

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?
