Around Azeroth: You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel

- It looks like Greatfather Winter ran out of holiday-themed wrapping paper and started just skinning animals and wrapping presents in fur. A couple of boxes also appear to be demon-themed, and one present is locked, just to be a jerk to people without rogue friends.
- We need more trees decorated with functional swords and axes in real life. It looks a lot more hardcore than angels and popcorn strings.
- Judging by the broken ornaments on the cave floor and my own experience with household pets and Christmas trees, that guilty-looking wind-up corgi and robot may be responsible for more damage than the Greench himself.

(And I.. I think I NEED that little wind-up corgi dog! It looks as if it's been designed to be more than a little decoration, right? It deserves to be a companion pet! Please, Ghostcrawler, promise us a Wind-Up Corgi too.. Ponies and Mooses be damned and we've been good this year!)

Perhaps the locked present is for a rogue... that would make it rather appropriate. And who says demons don't like presents too.

I would KILL for that corgi pet!!! (I had a corgi who passed away a few years ago, and THT pet looks exactly like her, minus the wind-up wheel of course)

Given Blizzard's history, I am betting the corgi is a /poke to Rift.
The corgi in Rift is the RAF pet and is use a lot within Rift adverts, especially for their holiday celecbrations.
