In Destiny, the announced Christmas gift for players will only be available in 2015.
In the last few days, many Guardians checked their inbox in Destiny, waited in the Tower for snow, or eyed Xur’s offerings with suspicion to see if a Christmas gift was hidden somewhere. No one wants to miss out.
A gift was announced. As Community Manager DeeJ made clear in a tweet, however, it is planned for the new year.
Holiday gifts are scheduled for delivery in January. No one is missing out the Cryptarch’s good cheer.

What exactly will be given is also not revealed by DeeJ. He even said about Xur’s rather poor offerings for Christmas that one probably needs to talk to Xur’s boss. It is obvious that they do not know Christmas there, where the “snake-faced bastard” comes from. Furthermore, DeeJ wished for a specific Warlock helm and Thunderlord for Christmas, which weren’t available either.
For the record, Xur doesn’t listen to me either. I wanted Obsidian Mind and a Thunderlord. I don’t think he celebrates Christmas. #messenger

The reason for the bad mood of most Destiny fans is probably not due to Xur’s offerings, but rather the ongoing issues with the console networks PSN and Xbox Live.
Destiny employees also have to deal with this, who were looking forward to spending a few hours in Destiny over the holidays. Bungie’s lead raid designer Luke Smith actually just wanted to quietly level up in the “angry woman’s” rank and kill mass amounts of Hive for her, but that didn’t happen over the holidays – just like for so many others.
5 Eris Bounties, 4 Strange Coins, 3 girls to gear, 2 drinks to go and a network that won’t get online.
