There is a wide variety of Runescape holiday items, from a party hat to a yoyo to a chicken suit. Let's run over a quick inventory of the past few years' holiday items.

In the year of 2001, holiday items were of a complete surprise. Items were just randomly dropped from the sky. Santa brought us Christmas crackers full of surprises. When you used a Christmas cracker with another player, you received a party hat. The party hat complete set is worth around a billion gp today. On Halloween, Runescape decided to drop a pumpkin for all to see.

Year 2002 was not much different. The people expected the drops and were awaiting them. The Easter bunny dropped an Easter egg, Halloween brought us scary Halloween masks that looked just like a dragon. On Christmas, none other than the Santa hat. The Santa hat is well known today to be worth millions of gp. After 2002, the drops were no longer tradable, and you could only have one. People began hording their holiday items knowing the price would soon begin to rise. Soon as expected, the prices of the items two years before slowly increased. -

The year of 2003 brought us bunny ears and a scythe. The bunny ears were the very first holiday item to become untradeable, and the scythe to look cool. Year 2004 only brought us a yo-yo but it could do many things, like walk, play, loop, and crazy.

2005 changed the holiday world once and for all. No longer were drops in play. Now in game characters gave the items to the players. The Easter bunny decided to give you Rubber Chickens where you could "whack" another player, but only after you gave out Easter eggs to other players. On April 4th, the eggs melted into chocolate dust.

I remember the Easter party well, everyone would get into lines, and we would form a train of "whacking". On Halloween, you had to scare children wandering around in Lumbridge. To do this, you had to scare, or insult zombies so they would loose their head. Then you would show the child the zombie head and they would be scared into giving you candy. If you had coins or candy at that time, you could choose treat instead, and they would say nice things about you. The Christmas even was huge. You had to help fairies in the workshop make toys. You were rewarded with Scarves, Wooly hats, and Marionettes.

After 2005, it sparked a new way of doing holiday events. From then till now, you have to do little quests to get your items. 2006 gave us Easter rings that would turn you into an egg, a full body skeleton suit, reindeer antlers, and a wintumber tree.

2007 gave us a snow globe of castle wars for Christmas, and a chicken suit that will make you "fly" when using the flap emote with it on. Runescape holiday items 2008 - 2008 is still coming, but this year's (easter holiday item 2008) easter event was an Easter cape that turns you into a chocolate egg that you will come out of.

Holiday events are loads of fun and you get some really cool things from them. I'm sure most of you are wishing you were there for the 2001 holiday drop, right? Your not alone, I'm guessing most of Runescape wishes that they had party hats, Santa hats, pumpkins, and all the goodies at their disposal. Can you imagine hording like 100 part hats and Santa hats? Oh what a dream come true! Trust me, it's not very cool in the beginning when everyone has it, but a couple years later when your whacking people with a rubber chicken and they ask where to get it, its very rewarding.
