Icarus Studios and the Fallen Earth team are inviting players to a holiday social event on Saturday, December 18th at 2 p.m. EST. Players attending will score a Yuletide beanie and will have the opportunity for a Secret Santa-type event to give needy players some much needed equipment.

It's that time of year again in the Wasteland… we may not know the exact date of the holiday, but we're pretty sure merry-making begins sometime soon! And this year, we're hosting a special Holiday Social at the Depot 66 amphitheater (waypoint 4407735, 3493471) at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, December 18. Join hosts Carlin and PixiStix for this special occasion!

All players (new and existing) are welcome to attend and all attendees will receive an in-game Yuletime Hat (otherwise known as a holiday beanie) as well as other festive goodies, such as eggnog and candy canes.

As a bonus, and for all the needy survivors out there, we're arranging a wasteland-style "Secret Santa.. during the social. If you'd like to participate, please mail items in-game to Carlin with the subject "Secret Santa.. and your character name. Gifts will be passed to recipients at random at 2:45 p.m. EST, with gift and donor's name announced in chat.

No need to RSVP (it's the apocalypse after all), just put on your best gear and come celebrate!

P.S. Please leave weapons in your pack/vault/vehicle etc. Party crashers will be "escorted.. off the premises IMMEDIATELY. Thanks!
