[Iria's heard that there's some kind of festival or something coming up. She's heard it's called Christmas, but she has no idea what exactly is it. Or what she's suppose to do for it.

So what do you do in a situation like this? Ask, of course!]

Hey, everyone's talking of something called Christmas. What's that?

If I'm honest with ya hun, I don't understand it either. But I know we got nice presents last year and everyone was happy. So it's a good thing at least!

[ruinedhiswish]

[don't call her "hun", old man.]

...So we get presents just like that? [Free stuff! That really does sound nice.

...Even though everything's for free here.]

[crisis_rain]

There's a catch! Ya have to be good. I heard naughty kids get coal instead.

[ruinedhiswish]

[Well, that's not good.]

And how they will know if I was good or not?

[voice]

[squaring]

[wow, is this what culture shock is??]

Eh... they don't have Christmas in Iria-san's world? [not that it's all that important back home either but still.]

[voice]

[ruinedhiswish]

[probably, yes.]

No, we don't have anything like that. Is that so weird?

[voice]

[squaring]

Ah, I guess not! It wouldn't make sense for a world with a different history to share a celebration with mine, I suppose.

[voice]

[ruinedhiswish]

I guess.

Anyway, what's Christmas?

[starfishlovesu]

Christmas is a time when all the good little boys and girls are given presents by Santa Claus, but he doesn't exist. Which is a shame! He would probably give all the good people starfish if he did.

[ruinedhiswish]

Santa... Claus? But I've heard that people do get presents for Christmas.

...And why starfish?

[starfishlovesu]

Oh of course, people will get presents anyway, even though he isn't real. Though-- Wait, has Fuuko ruined Santa Claus for someone?!

Santa Claus will bring you lots and lots of presents, don't worry!

[ruinedhiswish]

How can he bring presents if he doesn't exist?

[she's lost.]

[subsultive]

I've read that's it's just a gift-giving celebration. [THE LIBRARY IS YOUR FRIEND, IRIA. IT DOESN'T BITE.]

[Video]

[ruinedhiswish]

Gift-giving, huh? [library is so boring!!!]

[Video]

[subsultive]

Yeah. To friends and family and stuff. What do you want, Iria? [no it isn't..!!!]

[Video]

[ruinedhiswish]

Me? Uh... [let her think for a moment! Um...] I don't know. Anything is fine, I guess? [But, if you get her something that means she'll have to get a present, too, right?

...Well, she'll just get you a book or something then!]

It's a popular Earth holiday celebrating the birth of a religious figure named Jesus Christ, said to be the Son of God. Lots of people celebrate it in a secular sense, though.

[video]

[ruinedhiswish]

[in Iria's world, there was a lot of gods...]

So it's his birthday? How do they celebrate it?

[video]

[minimonsterdad]

Each culture that celebrates it has its own customs, but common themes are gift-giving and expressions of good will toward others. In short, you should make an effort to be nice to the people around you.

[ruinedhiswish]

...Does that mean that if I'm not nice I won't get a present?

[nooo, she doesn't want to be nice. Being nice means she can't bully Luca, tell everyone they should call Spada "young master" and tease others and all of those others things she enjoys doing!]
