There seems to be an abundance of confusion regarding Christmas, or the "traditional" read "commercial" Yultide holidays that my world and many within the city are familiar with, leading me to be tempted to post a brief explanation about it.

Incorrect.

[canicrynow]

...but that's what all those Reindeer Amanto told me!

[anti_buttons]

They lied.

Unless Christmas has a different meaning in your world, however, given that its name suggests the religious connotation found in my world, I'm dubious. Even if the religious context has been overshadowed by the commercial as represented by a fat man

You could tell that much?

[canicrynow]

Haha, ah, well, elaborating might make you severely depressed for a few weeks, but in the interest of the free exchange of information, Gintoki-kun reads a serial that you're a character in.

Maybe I should get him an autograph sometime...
