A similar change was made to the Holiday & Seasonal Category about six months ago. All the holidays were a separate category, subdivided into antique, vintage, or modern. EBay wiped all that out. The new categories are
Advent Calendars
Candle Holders
Candles
Cards & Postcards
Christmas Trees
Costumes
Figurines
Incense Smokers
Lanterns
Lights
Masks
Nativity Items
Noisemakers
Nutcrackers
Ornaments
Props
Pyramids
Snow Globes
Stockings & Hangers
Table Décor & Serving Piece
It has made it impossible to browse through antique Christmas items. There are new "item specifics," but sellers don't know how to date an old greeting card, so in the item specific "time period," most of them are described as unknown. Under the "item specific" - "subject" you can identify your item as belonging to these descriptors - Subject

The result has been listings in "holiday & seasonal" have plummeted. Who wants to list a potentially highly sought item when no one can easily see it.
I suspected someone spiked the water cooler with LSD. Seriously?? Yoga Frog????
