As I'm sure you've all noticed, Christmas shall soon be upon us and I ask you all this. How long until Microsoft try and charge for a Santa hat Avatar item? My bet's somewhere in the mid-December region, what do you think?

Did they release one last year? I wouldn't know since I don't have a 360 at all (let alone touched one).

12 days of Christmas, with each day bringing about a new avatar item to be bought. 
 
@eroticfishcake: You couldn't buy avatar items this time last year. They charged for Halloween themed items, so they'll so do it for Christmas.

In Australia they'll release it next June. 
 
Like the disparity of seeing "GET YOUR WINTER THEMED AVATAR GEAR NOW WOO!" when it's 41ºC outside.
