[The feed turns on and -- hey Edgeworth, why the tired face?]

Er-- good evening, everyone. Pess kept insisting that I make this post and tell everyone that her egg hatched.

[And with that, he pans the camera to show --- the tiniest Growlithe baby in the world, chewing contentedly on Edgeworth's ribbon.]

[muttering]...I keep hearing about this "Christmas" thing.

[miniworth]

...?

It is a holiday celebrated by most people who arrive here.. are you unfamiliar with it, perhaps?

[clockworkaholic]

...Holiday?

[Guess who's new to the concept of a calendar.]

[miniworth]

Er-- [Oooooh boy.]

It is a word used to describe day of celebration.

[clockworkaholic]

...I assume they are "days" of significance, then.

[Also new to the idea that night always follows day. He's getting used to it, poor thing.]

[miniworth]

[It's a methodical world, sir, I hope you're not too freaked out.]

You could say that. A lot of them are born from religious affiliation, so it all depends on the religion's calendar..

[clockworkaholic]

[He rather likes it, actually, it's just very foreign.]

And a calendar is how one organizes "days", correct?

[Need to get all information in order that you possibly can.]

[miniworth]

That's correct, sir.

One of the first uses of the calendar was to organize the days into a bigger group called "years" and within those years, people created "seasons" so that they knew when to plant, grow, and harvest their food.

[Look who seems to be enjoying the fact that he can talk about things he actually understands.]

[clockworkaholic]

...I see. And "holidays" are predetermined on a calendar.

[He knows what seasons are... by weather? But not by actual dates, lmao. This whole calendar thing is srs bsns.]

[miniworth]

They are integrated into the calendar, yes.

Some have set dates, such as Christmas, but some are determined by weekdays, which is another subcategory within the year. For example, some holidays are on the "third Thursday of the month" instead of being on the same date each year.

[clockworkaholic]

Hn. [He seems to remember what "month" means, anyway.]

Since "Christmas" has a set date, it must have a very special significance, does it not? What is it?

[miniworth]

...In my world, there is very important religion that shapes our history greatly. According to this religion, the world was created by God, and his son, Jesus Christ, was born on December 25th, which is this Christmas that we speak of.

Although, nowadays, its religious significance is not as strong as it was before..

[clockworkaholic]

...So it is the birth date of the son of a God. [It all makes sense now.]

[miniworth]

That is correct, sir.

[clockworkaholic]

...Thanks.

[miniworth]

...! O-oh. It was no problem.
