The Christmas List has been sent in. Here's the results of the voting and the more detailed descriptions I came up with. A link back to this thread was included in the message, so if you want to discuss any of these here, go ahead. If they use any of these ideas, they might click on over here and see what we discussed.
1) mistletoe bikini
By far, the most popular suggestion this year was a mistletoe bikini. Not a tiny triangle and thong bikini with a mistletoe design on it. That was a separate item. This one is more like an even skimpier version of Miiir's Leaves outfit, made of mistletoe. Strategically positioned leaves and berries held in place by narrow branch-colored ribbons. Works for the ladies in both AO and TSW, but the gentlemen and troxies might need a bit more fabric, maybe something like those new men's swimsuits in TSW, maybe with a suggestively placed design of twig, berries, and leaves.
2 (tied) red ribbon outfit
Second place was a tie, so the skimpier one is listed first only because it was suggested earlier. Years earlier. This has been mentioned almost every year. It's a shiny red ribbon bandeau and boyshorts with little ribbon ties on the hips. Or something generally like that. I've attached reference photos before, but it doesn't have to be that specific. There's plenty of examples out there of the basic idea. Sometimes the bow is on the back of the thong, sometimes it's on the front of the bra, and sometimes it's just two lengths of actual red ribbon tied on with a bow, or one length of ribbon on the bottom and two ribbon pasties on top. Anything that looks like wearing nothing but the shiny red ribbon from a Christmas gift would be fine.
2 (tied) candy cane dress
The second place tie is a lot easier to describe. It's just a short dress, like the AO Play Costume - Fifth Edition or TSW's one shoulder soiree dress (the new "little black dresses") but striped red and white like a candy cane.
4) variant Naughty List bikinis
The good old Naughty List Bikini has red panels, white straps, and a green Christmas tree design. Those colors could be rearranged to make different designs of the same style, such as green panels with red straps and silver gift box or white snowman designs, or white panels with green straps and red Christmas balls (ornaments) or green and red mistletoe. Maybe the existing Naughty List bikinis could even be updated to change colors to those variants, and then dropped again for those who missed them.
5) elf costume
There are lots of examples of elf costumes out there, ranging from Legolas to Tinkerbell to Robin Hood to a tavern wench on St. Patrick's Day. It's generally a lot of green, usually fairly skimpy, and relatively simple. Something like a green version of AO's Play Costume - Holiday Series #2, with the tutu optional, would be good.
6) Christmassy versions of existing clothing items
This was a pretty vague one. The only specific example that came up was a red and white striped thong. That's an AO item, but TSW could use some of those, too. Presumably, bras and boxers would go well with it. Particularly for TSW, it should be easier to just take a variety of existing items and re-skin them in Christmassy colors than to create new styles and outfits, right? For AO, maybe some of the anniversary outfits could be redone in Christmas colors. Or some of Miiir's lingerie or suits, or Maria's casualwear or uniforms.
7) TSW Christmas golems
Not everyone is thrilled with golem events that require them to tune their graphics options below minimum just to survive, but it seems there are still a fair number of players who want more ambulatory mountains they can gang up on, 30 at a time, to smash like pinatas. As long as us lowbies who can barely run the game without all that excitement also have our chance at Christmas loot, I don't see a problem with that. And I bet those giant golems would look cute in Santa hats. Maybe have little elf-sized ones run around with just the basic social loot for us lowbies and give the big golems that stuff plus some special rewards for the big groups and power players. Bullion and signets and other stuff that lowbies can't even use yet anyway.
8) leet pulling a sleigh
A pet Antleet harnessed to a little sleigh. In TSW, it might need a new set of animations. Or at least skip the "curl up and take a nap" part.
9 (tied) TSW Christmas-themed weapon skins
Molds for icicle swords, candy cane hammers, gingerbread foci, gift-wrapped storybooks, frosting guns, peppermint stick claws, etc. Maybe even Mr. Squeaky Ray Guns?
9 (tied) candy cane panties
Not the same idea as the red and white striped thong that got more votes. This is something with a little fabric to it, like French-cut or hipster briefs, something with enough room for a candy canes design on the back instead of a tiny little thong too small to see a design on. And don't leave the boys out, of course. Probably most of them would probably prefer boxers, but girls like boxers, too. Maybe make two styles, boxers and briefs, and make them both fit everyone?
11 (tied) personal fireworks for New Year's Eve
I think this would be more welcome in AO, preferably as a nano or reusable toy, like the Holiday Holograms. In TSW, a reusable flare launcher might be fun, but many of us are a little overloaded with multiple stacks of fireworks for now. Perhaps by Christmas we'll have used some of them, but there were way too many at the Gilded Rage event.
11 (tied) deer antler hats
There are numerous forms this could take, including the antlers we already have in AO. To make the same thing in TSW, they'd probably make more sense with a headband. A knit wool hat with ears and horns would be a cute option for either game. An actual deer skull for AO, like the TSW Mayan Headdress, would be the creepy option.
13) Santa Leet-shaped shoulder lanterns
Glowing red Santa Leets and/or green Elfleets hovering over your shoulders. Or maybe the glow comes from something in the bags tied to their backs.
14 (tied) glowing incorporeal angel wings
I think this one was meant more for TSW. AO already has angel wings, but translucent ones would still be cool. Cool and icy and blue, like Redeemed mobs, or fiery like

14 (tied) all the AO Christmas outfits copied to TSW
Especially the Naughty List Bikinis and Boxers, but the various Play Costume - Holiday Series outfits would be good, too. And the fuchsia ski suit and Christmas sweaters and jackets and, of course, the Santa Suit.
14 (tied) TSW: army of filth-infected mall Santas and Red Cross Santas
I'm sure most, if not all of you, have seen the Doctor Who: Series 3 Christmas Episode "The Runaway Bride". It's the one where robot Santas all turned homicidal, with exploding remote toy cars and tubas that launched cannonballs and all sorts of giftwrapped mayhem. That's what this idea reminded everyone of. If you could do something kind of like that, but with Filth instead of aliens and robots, it would go really well with the Christmas-themed weapon skins.
17 (tied) pet sexy Christmas sprite
I imagine this as Tinkerbell in a skimpy little "Santa's Helper" costume. Not that exact character, of course, but the general idea- a little flying, glowing fairy girl, maybe about the size of an Orochi sphere, so she's not too tiny to see. Maybe she even behaves like the Orochi drone, flying around you and throwing glitter at things instead of zapping and scanning them. At least the TSW version should do that. If she shows up in AO, I don't think anyone would expect as much.
17 (tied) reindeer costume in separate parts
Definitely separates, not a one-piece uniform. Furry brown/tan pants with a fluffy tail, "hoof" boots, "hoof" mittens, spotted brown and white fur jacket, furry hood with antlers, and a black or glowing red nose accessory. See also "deer antler hats" above.
19) mermaid morph
I guess this one's more for AO, since TSW doesn't seem to even have swimming. (Yet?) Is is possible to swap swimming speed and running speed? If not, just buffing swimming and nerfing runspeed, like a boat, would suffice. Oh, and there would need to be merman and mertrox, too. And of course, then we'd want to swim /under/ the water and all that. But maybe the morph doesn't give us gills? (Yet?)
20 (tied) ghost pets of christmas past, present, and future
Full size avatars were specified, but I really didn't think it would get enough votes to worry about getting the details of what they meant. Maybe the ghost of Christmas Past is a Pict from AoC, Present is an Orochi agent, and Future is Uncle Pumpkinhead?
20 (tied) zombie rampage sleigh ride mini game
"... like running over zombies in Santa hats to get away from a massive snow man, like the snowmobile from issue 7 only with zombies." Sounds like a TSW-only idea to me, but I haven't done Issue 7 yet myself, so I'm not really sure what the details would be.
20 (tied) more musical instruments, like quitars and drums (with drumsticks)
I guess it's only "more" instruments in AO. TSW doesn't even have social "weapons" yet. It's an idea that comes up pretty frequently, though. Things that are equippable as weapons and can make pretty effects, or maybe sounds, but don't have any actual combat use. Maybe they'd have their own skills, or maybe they could invoke the graphics of various weapon skills without any real effect.
