[IN THE FABLED ....mess hall (what, did you think I was going to say "middle of camp"? Psych!) is a half-decorated talking alien tree, being decorated by teenaged wizards (and one star) of varying species. Except one, who is having nothing to do with this.]

You do know why they call it Boxing Day, don't you?

What? Today?

[tobethemiracle]

Yes! So we choose to decorate Filif the day after Christmas. Of course, why didn't I think of it!

[babesinthewoods]

Well I don't know what Boxing Day is, but that does seem kind of backwards.

[tobethemiracle]

This is one of those days when I'm reminded again that the people from my part of the world I can count on one hand. It's where you box things up and, if you want, give them away.

[babesinthewoods]

....so it's an excuse to get rid of presents you didn't like?

[tobethemiracle]

Not all the time.

[babesinthewoods]

*laughing anyway*

[tobethemiracle]

I've done it ... once or twice. Definitely less than ten times.

[babesinthewoods]

That isn't so bad!

[tobethemiracle]

So you really don't do that in Japan?

[babesinthewoods]

All my family does is give presents.

...Oh. And sometimes we eat chicken.

[tobethemiracle]

Yeah we do that one.

[galacticfairy]

You didn't know it either?

[babesinthewoods]

I'd never heard of it!

[galacticfairy]

So much for "everywhere but the US."

[babesinthewoods]

Well, I don't exactly take christmas very seriously.
