I really (really, really, really) want to be able to buy / find / have a Christmas tree for my home. I’d love it to be lit, and maybe available in different sizes for different homes. I’d even by happy if it were a Crown Store item. What about you ?

    No. We’ve heard about various religions in Tamriel, but none of them celebrate the birth of Christ.

    That said, if it’s a winter festival or solstice decoration, (as such trees probably were originally, before folks started calling them “Christmas trees”), I’d have no objection.

    Jokes aside. Yes a christmas tree in a style that would fit Elder Scrolls would be nice. Call it a New Life Tree.

    Depending how it's done.

    If it's just a tree with some candles then sure, I won't rage. If it's a very real world over the top tree then it's not something would like to see.

    Also players could just make their own, we have enough glowing things and candles.

    Although I am one of those who does not care about lore braking things. JK. I care a little but not to much to start a bar fight over it. More like post a mean comment about it. I will take the Christmas equivalent in ESO lore.... what ever holiday falls on the 25th of Evening Star (December).

    For those of you non eso Lore nerds 25th of Evening star is the New Life Festival. This event takes place across all of Tamriel in celebration of the new year. The Emperor usually uses his New Life Address to instigate another tax increase which often causes much resentment. Despite this, the New Life tradition of free ale at all of the taverns of Tamriel continues. In some areas, particularly Wayrest, the New Life Festival is celebrated on the 25th of Evening Star.

    Why is there 2 yes answers and no No answer. Get yourself a pine sapling. Lots of stuff to decorate it with.

    Btw, xmas trees have nothing to do with the birth of Christ. It's actually a tradition from Yuletide, a Pagan holiday.

    All those chairs, trees, pumpkins, candles, flowers horses etc must be uncomfortable for you then considering they are 'real life' items. :p

    As for a tree, the winter tree decoration comes from paganism, and represents.....wait for it....new life and fertility. It's probably where the ESO lore makers got the 'New Life' festival...so a seasonal tree is really not a divergence from lore at all.

    yes please. i don't care what its called. i mean... I grew with i being called "new year's fir" so...

    I don't think I'll ever be able to understand the hate some people have for it. what's to hate? decorating those trees is fun and in every other way its basically a family get together with lots of food and gifts to open.

    I mean. I can make a faximile which is also fun, though I wish we actualy had smaller sized firs instead of using the cypress. its close but not quite there. and there's that whole matter of limited furniture slots.....

    A pine tree with some basic winter trimmings or sparkly bits or whatever would be fine for people who want it. But personally, I'd rather not have this fictional world adopt the trappings of a religious holiday from another universe. Seeing Santas or Christmas ornaments is taking things too far in my opinion. Weakens the experience of Tamriel.

    I mean... so may of the ornaments are just sparkly balls? there doesn't need to be a santa or anything, just mini garlands of lights - think argonian strands, but smaller; and colorful balls, like the beads on https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/wood-orc-dream-catcher/

    not that santa is particularly christian either, he is basically a pagan personification of cold weather, but Santa is still completely unnecessary. and a lot of other decorations are very non religious. snowflakes, icicles, sparkly balls, pine cones, etc.

    I'm sorry I just really love these darn trees. in RL I have at least one in every room starting by the end of November and staying well into Feb, because I'm an adult and i do what i want in my own house >_> :P its realy a natural extension of enjoying decorating.

    There already are semblances of real world holidays, though they may not be called Halloween or Christmas or Black Friday (as a random example) they are already there, but I wouldn't want a Santa Claus or Baby Jesus or even a Pagan priestess, just cute stuff that would compliment Tamriel. I'm sure the different races would come up with some lovely befitting decorations.
