Team Fortress 2 Holiday Update

Valve has come out and put another update into TF2. This one is special for the holidays. A bunch of new weapons, hats, and sets were released. In addition, The Mann Co. Store is having a weekend sale, so make sure to get what you want from there. One of the more noted changes, is the gun "Natascha" has been nerfed.  In other words, they weekend it for being too powerful. The promotional page for the update can be found here. Below, I have listed the changes that Valve stated in the product update:
