I'm going to say what I did like about the shop.
I really liked the levels, especially the lobby. The furniture room had quite a bit of empty space, but that's fine.
I bought the Jolly Flail and the Tree Dirk. I actually really liked the GANIs for both of them. If there's any problem with the GANI for the Flail, it's that the template doesn't have a smooth transition between the straight and bent views.
The lingering swing effect on the weapons was a nice addition. I haven't seen any other weapon quite have that effect yet; it's pretty original. A bit overdone, as it was added to every weapon, but that's fine I guess, considering they're all pretty much the same stat-wise.
There were a lot of good hats this year. I would have bought some had I had the money. Usually the holiday hats don't appeal to me, but I was quite surprised at how much I would have bought.
Overall, I thought Zone had a good Christmas shop.

Only the idle GANI is good though it's done unclear; there's a black line appearing over and over again. The attack (looks like a basic 3 frames gani, woohoo) looks like you're using a staff or a ward, and not a flail. Kind of disappointed that the walk consists of the pasted melee and the usual walk animation, would be better if it was moving a bit to the right and to the left. Overall pretty mediocre, only the idle was nice.
About everything else: I like the levels, yet I feel like too many NPCs have been added to decorate it. Smaller levels would be better. Hats are done good besides the ***** sock and the ice cube hat. Though I have to agree, the shop isn't a disappointment.
