A new patch: 1.8.4

Today, during the regularly scheduled maintenance,
Blizzard will be putting in a new patch.  Unfortunately this is not the much anticipated 1.9 patch with all the great new content, but the 1.8.4 patch that will mostly add the holiday festivities into the game.  Be sure to swing by Ironforge or Orgrimmar to speak to the Smokywood Pastures' customer service goblins to start your holiday questing.  The only other interesting item in this patch is the Battlegrounds change – A match must last 10 minutes for the losing team to get a mark of honor.  That change makes sense to me because if you are so bad you can't get organized to stop them from winning within 10 minutes, you deserve to lose!
