There are already too many threads about this. Notch has better things to do than release an update on Christmas.
And besides, the Halloween update wasn't released on Halloween for any reason other than Notch coincidentally getting it done (almost) on Halloween.

Notch announced the update, so it's not a coincident.

The creeper would SSS, but then stop as I held him in my arms. I would look down upon him, and his frown would turn into a beautiful smile.
He would look up at me.. A single tear would come from his eye, and he would say "Thank you".
I wish the nether actually had uses, like an equivalent to Wood in the nether that could not be blown up by creepers in the real world, or catch on fire. They could be used to make rods for nether tools (Hellstone picks, Lightstone picks, etc) and some resources to make the nether funner to explore, like a hell coal, a hell iron (of course it would be called something different.) maybe minable Dragonite ore that could make slightly less powerful than diamond picks, but stonger than iron. (NOT stolen from runescape. Dragonite is a material used in various books and games before runescape). The Nether just needs to be more complete IMO. It is still fun.
New holiday update: Boss Mob - Robot Santa. He will generate only once in the FIRST new chunk that is generated. The chunk itself is more of a larger dungeon to house Robot Santa.
Considering how much damage the halloween update unleashed on standard minecraft features i kinda hope not. Minecraft really needs some viable competitors to start eating into minecraft's profits other then cubelands if that can even be considered a competitor.
trees that spawn with snow on them also occasionally spawn with ornaments until he updates the client again. the ornaments drop off as collectible items when you destroy the leaves. they are like paintings (random subimage when placed) and can only be placed on leaves.
the first tree generated on snow after the update is applied will spawn random gift boxes next to it, like dungeons, but with a present texture, when destroyed they drop a chest, 2 paper, and whatever was inside
There won't be a Christmas update because the Sweeds don't celebrate it.
Instead they celebrate Sweeditorium, a holiday revolving around doing other things when people would rather have you do something else. (It's celebrated year-round)

Obviously a Christmas update would bring us penguins, polar bears, larger tundras, the ability for the rest of the passive mobs ( even penguins) to be ride-able. And our precious spikes will be returned to us. I miss my Charlie. I really do....
and yes, the santa/snowman mob would be [insert-meme]. DIE, FROSTY!! >:biggrin.gif:
and falling snow on snow biomes. snowballs. carrots, and coal, for putting in the snow man. and sticks. we shall grow carrots. and snowmen that melt in daylight or sumtin.
Craftable Snowman turrets that shoot damaging snowballs, or snowmen mobs that throw snowballs? Ghasts replaced by Santa on sleigh throwing burnt coals/presents, slime are dancing presents,and creepers explode in confetti?

Remember kids, file sharing kills babies.
ON TOPIC: I think notch should finish up the nether as a cristmas present.
I was the second person to use the avatar I have. The rest took it from me. The first I asked, he said yes.
I know what I'm doing. I plan ahead, or get tired and screw up everything.
