It's almost time for that winter festival again, isn't it? What was it... Christmas? It's hard to believe I'll be celebrating it for the second time. Things are quite different from the last time. I know more people now... Well, I look forward to it. Any reason to celebrate is a fine one.

I'll need to buy gifts... ...And the baby will be coming

Is zhat so? For vhich god, or do you have many?

[hottesthoushi]

...Well, I'm a follower of the teachings of the Buddha, but he's not exactly a god.

There are many gods where I come from.

Describe this festival.

[hottesthoushi]

Well, I hear it's a religious celebration. To the best of my recollection... Their god was born to a virgin woman... Um, in a stable? And to celebrate, people visit their families and friends, to spend time together and there's usually an exchange of gifts.

[coldmoonlight]

What purpose does their god serve?

[hottesthoushi]

He was sent to earth as a human to absolve people of their sins.

I forgot that I'd been here so long, already. I can't believe it's so far out of my mind...

[hottesthoushi]

It's pretty easy to forget. You just continue to go, and suddenly a month's gone by, then two, then six...

[boomerang_girl]

Mm. I suppose that's the truth in it.
