If you don't mind, I would like to hear about the holidays you celebrate in different worlds, or even different places in the same world.

[this is inspired by a conversation she had with Storm the other day]

In Imil, it is traditional to do something for the longest night of the winter. It is not a large celebration - Imil is, I have learned, a small ( Read more... )

In my home country, we have a few holidays coming up over the next three months. There's Halloween, a day where people dress up in costumes and go door to door for treats (usually candy). Very popular with kids, but adults enjoy it too.

Thanksgiving is in November. It's a day where family and friends gather together and share in a big feast.

Then there's Christmas in December, a day where gifts are exchanged between friends and family.

Halloween and Christmas, I have heard about. But you must all be from the same world, then, to have so many similar holidays.

I think I would enjoy a meal called simply 'thanks giving.'

Earth seems to be a very popular world here. Many of my friends are from some version of it. It's quite odd.

It can be quite a fancy meal or something simple, but it's usually based around being with the ones you care about and sharing in good memories. There are, however, some fairly traditional aspects of the meal. Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce.

It sounds like it would be fun. Is there a meal like that here?

I'm sure something could be figured out here. Depends on what shows up in the stores. Though as far as traditional meals here go, I don't know. Haven't been around long enough to find out.

Oh...how long have you been here?

[Much of the time, she assumes the majority of the people she meets are not new.]

A little over two months now. How about you?

[Written] frost_jewel September 21 2011, 23:59:54 UTC

Oh. I have been here for more than four.

What do you think about Luceti?

...I think it does not seem to be as terrible as I had expected at first.

I feel that way too at times. There are some bad days [Mallynappings and subsequent experimentation, drafts.] but there are nice moments as well.

It's quite odd.

In some ways it feels like almost five months here, and in others it does not.

Even my two months here have felt so much longer, but almost in a good way. So much has happened in such a small span of time.

[Written] frost_jewel September 23 2011, 14:45:20 UTC

I wonder if it is like that all the time.

[Written] shadedsunlight September 23 2011, 18:47:12 UTC

I don't know, though I'm inclined to think so according to what I've heard from some of the longer-term residents.
