If you're like me then , you have already bought the Happy Holiday Stuff Pack, just as you did the Family Fun and Glamour Life stuff packs. Happy Holiday adds 60 Christmas type items to your game, a few of them related to other ethnic holidays. The one thing EA/Maxis neglected to include was snow and snow covered objects, which would have added a little more realism to the game. Fortunately, several sites do offer snow and snow covered objects. For those who already purchased Happy Holiday last year there is a mini pack that has the few objects that were included in this years pack. Then, of course they have a Holiday gift pack that has the Sims2 and Happy Holiday. I looked around the community and a lot of the things in Happy Holiday are offered elsewhere. I really bought the pack for the additional animation of Santa coming to your house. I felt that there were a lot of things that should have been included in this pack that weren't, snow, snowy objects, sleds, a full sized sled with Santa and reindeers and some winter wear. Personally, I think that this should have been a free download, available from the official site. Is it worth the money? Not really. Like I said before, it doesn't offer much beyond what is already available in the community.
