We've been getting Christmas events for years- why be greedy and want everyone else to be excluded every year? Where is the sense in that?
Who do you exclude with christmas? The 100 real wiccans that are playing this game? But on the other hand how man do you exclude with the pagan event, my dear social justice friend. This game is played by 99% westerners who are celebrating christmas. EA should cater to their main audience and not follow your deluded perception of inclusiveness

Oh, I'm so glad you're opposed to justice. Anyways, this isn't an off-topic thread. Go there and start a thread if you want to be nonsensical.
I find it telling, that out of my thirty neighbors, daily players all, literally half are not participating in this event.
Same Here. I'm going to check again in 5 days. Until then, I'll be playing clash of clans (who actually still do the xmas thing) or keep grinding in Marvel Contest of Champions! They did just release Howard the Duck!!!
EDIT: So the fans who play this game year after year, all of our suggestions and anticipation, completely ignored. It’s Halloween 2015 ( literally ) again.
THOH 2015 was awesome imo, multiple nightmare to craft different currencies, wailing walls were craftable.
every event you have people who like and dislike it, not everybody has same tastes. the more unique thing this year was the fact people could "hate" and update just minutes after the release without even giving it a chance.

Yes, very true. People like winding themselves up about things that really don't matter. It makes them feel able to lash out at both the object of their hate and also other people. They think they are being rebellious free-thinkers, when actually they are just following the hate bandwagon while attacking anyone open-minded. Rest assured it is an internet, or maybe person thing, rather than Tapped Out thing. EA could have done anything and the same reactions would have played out on this forum. The same reactions.
Nice update...NOT! I don't want pentagrams, goat god statues and more crap like that in my town. What's next, a Comet Pizza and a Besta pizza and some children to be sacrificed? What a lousy update EA!

See this is actually offensive. Basically saying that paganism = child mol e sters, there's absolutely no link. And it isn't "evil" or " satanist" either. Honestly, the level of ignorant panic in these threads is ridiculous
I hate this update. Can anyone tell me if I can get rid of the satanic stone henge and just not partake of this update? I don't want those satanic people in my town either. None of this is Christmas! If this is the developers and Groening's way of telling us they don't believe in Christ, well thank you very much from the majority of Jews and Christians in this world who do celebrate Christ or Hanukkah. I am thinking I won't spend another dollar on this game. What a complete let down this is. No decorations, no festive lights, no Christmas or Hanukkah decorations. All we got was some satanic ritual rites stone henge and a bunch of demon worshippers all over our towns. I won't even go visit anyone's towns during this update. I am angry and disgusted. All I want in my town is the snow and maybe the little gnome at this point. I don't even want to open it up, really. As for watching this unfold on The Simpsons this Sunday, you can count me out. I am done with that too. Thanks for ruining my favorite and only game. I never played anything else and now I will have to find something that doesn't insult my faith.
If you wait until the end of December you can store stonehenge, which by the way is a neolithic monument (if you care to educate yourself it is very interesting) that has no more to do with "satan" than the gnomes, and the tree and nature worshippers ( ie pagans) ditto.
but I agree with @skachick7000 that that one line may have been a bit far!
Why?
Because it goes beyond the "tongue-in-cheek" point, that the Simpsons normally don't cross. It's insulting to anyone who reads the Bible or believes in it. Poking fun is always ok to a point, but to flat out call a group of people nutjobs is in poor taste.
Yep, what @joejoe5050 said! @Mortiis07 It doesn't offend me in any way but I can see why some people were offended
I'm going to join the ranks of those that really dont like this update. I'm a Christian and not necessarily offended, as the Simpsons have taken equal jabs at all religions over the years. Its just that it's not Christmas, and so it falls way below expectations. As others mentioned, its like 2015 Halloween when there was no trick or treating. This should've just been a stand alone event. The other issue is the prizes - they are also not Christmas related, and honestly, might become the very first items I store after an event. I'm pretty close to a completionist at this point, but am not sure I'll leave these out. That said, I dont think EA was "lazy" or intended to "offended" anyone or that the game is "over." I just think it was bad judgment and they made a mistake. Hopefully they will release more items as we go, or a donut sale to help off set the lack of things people want to buy. Merry Christmas.

I know, right? The bigotry is pathetic, especially the statement you quoted.
