Great way to put it and I agree completely! Christmas toons - in general - are kind of silly nods to the season and not super-usable (Though I do drag out the elf on occasion - cleanse and attack up is pretty cool). But the problem is this game brings out the obsessive collector tendencies, so thanks for putting things in perspective.
And the new Krampus? Hitting like a fly swatter when fully sharded? Hope he never has to face the powerful meat-head...
