Last years war did sort of unfold in a natural way. I remember not being home logging in and seeing a war with SV. Then seeing multiple hosps going on. I came back online a few hours later and there was still some hosping going on. The next morning is when we got organized with Val I believe. Then either that day or the following day Xpats got involved.
Raf being hit online and Rambo saying something to instigate definitely sounds familiar.

As for the Xmas contest, it's always been on the 25th. While I assume most of us all celebrate on that day, technically I'm sure there are some that don't.
