*Lo and behold, there's quite a sight right outside the cafeteria. Here we see a couple of gorillas setting up a giant Christmas tree, with a figure standing back and inspecting the work. There are boxes labelled 'decorations' and 'lights' and other miscellaneous items around said tree.*

... A little more to the left, if you please.

What about those who don't celebrate Christmas? We're being oppressed!

[deine_mutti]

The menorah is being set elsewhere. Other religious icons are more than welcome to be ordered at the store.

[hackstheplanet]

...hey, how'd you know?

[deine_mutti]

Just a really good guess.

You don't seem the type to celebrate Kwanzaa.

[hackstheplanet]

I'm not really, but it's an important idea!

[deine_mutti]

It's not so much symbolic of it being a part of Christmas, but a memory of home, if you would.

[hackstheplanet]

With the baby Jesus and everything. I can help with the tree if you like, though?

[deine_mutti]

Only if you're comfortable with it.

[hackstheplanet]

You kinda get used to being the religious minority after a while. At least I wasn't forced into a pageant this year?

[deine_mutti]

One of the wise men?

[hackstheplanet]

The baby Jesus. My mom was not happy.

[deine_mutti]

And how long ago did this thing occur?

[hackstheplanet]

I was five.

[deine_mutti]

Such trauma.

[hackstheplanet]

It was!

First of all, the gender's all wrong. Secondly, 5 would seem like an age thats much too old to play the role.
