Anonymous	Not as good as the 1st XMASDOOM wad. Try using those old sprites, they better. Same goes for maps as well. Take advantage of snow in ZDOOM if possible. ~2/5	x
Omegalore	This ones good but, glitchy gun graphics, forgot to add invisible bridge, and a pointless switch that closes a certain point you need to go. But, this wad is still good. 3/5 -Omegalore	x

New stuff               : As well as a extra weapon and several other
                          changes, I added a new cheat code: 'REGEN'.
                          It regenerates a dead player...
                          NOW, YOU YOU CAN'T USE "I'm afraid I'll die and
                          lose all my progress" AS AN EXCUSE TO RUN THROUGH
                          THE LEVEL IN GOD MODE!!!!!

Section 2: Storyline
******************************************************************************

You finally have destroyed all the Hellspawned demons of XmasDoom.
Those floating red ornaments will never bother you again. It's now Christmas
Eve, and you look outside one last time before calling it a night. It's
snowing heavily, which you hope means the ground will be covered with snow
the next morning. Looking across the street, you see something moving...it
looks like...it's an IMP! You quickly put on your Military Armor Suit, and
get ready to kill the Imp as he begins to tear away at your house. You swing
open the door, and give the Imp one good shot to the head. He screams in pain,
and then says "We'll kill you...this time..." his demonic voice fades.

"What do you mean, THIS TIME?"
(Imp collapses to the floor)
"There's a gateway, you moron...you're..."
"A gateway? Another one?"
"You never closed the first one..."
"Dammit!"

You then pump 5 more rounds into the Imp's shattered skull. What you don't
know is that the Demons have spawned into everything Christmas-like ever
invented. Everything from Santa Claus to presents, the Demons are morphed
into. But there are still some with only red santa hats. This time,
you have to destroy the gateway, ensuring that no more hellraising Demons can
ruin Christmas again.

Section 3: Information
******************************************************************************

This is the "sequel" to Christmas Doom, which was good, but limited.
We also took some stuff from Xmas Nightmare and H2H-Xmas. Thanks to those
guys! We altered the .EXE and compiled everything possible to make this 
the best Xmas WAD ever.
We truly tried to keep the "realistic" effect to our levels -- making it feel
like you're really going through a mall, or whatever the plot of the level is.
Xmas Nightmare did a good job of making a city-like appearance, but it was
only two levels long. Too bad.
        There are also new weapons! NEW is the word, not just ribbons around
them or something. We won't spoil it, here, but if you're just too much of
a wimp, read NEWSTUFF.TXT. Loser.

******************************************************************************
Section 4: Level Plots
******************************************************************************

Level 1: Your house
        Simply escape from your house...although, this one is a realistic
house, not too many of them have so many keys...and are so large. But this
one really is modeled after a house (not Justin's or Jeff's), so it should
keep a good "house" feeling to it.

Level 2: A Night on the Town
        It's snowing, and the demons are spreading like wildfire. After
you get all the security keys, you can enter the Mall.

Level 3: The Mall
        There are security systems in the mall, so be careful not to trip any
red lasers! This one is bright, so don't worry about it looking too dark. 
There are lots of stores, but the point of this one is to find the trail to 
the real Santa Claus, which the Demons have hidden somewhere in the mall. 
(Not too realistic, but we've gotta keep it interesting)

Level 4: The Movie Theater
        The World's largest Movie Theater has been infested with Demons!
You have to find one of Santa's reindeer and sled so you can fly to Santa's
Workshop! (Like I said, interesting is the key)

Level 5: UAC Office
        Inside UAC's main office, the Demons smuggled in Santa's sleigh. You
need to fly to the gateway, so find that sleigh!

Level 6: The Gateway
        The North Pole is actually a teleport to the gateway! Destroy the
        gateway and rescue Santa!
