One thing I've noticed about Earth over the years is that they start advertising their holidays far to early. As soon as Halloween was over, everything started to be all about Christmas, even though it was nearly two months away. Is this true of most worlds, or just Earth

Christmas and Hanukkah are Earth holidays that take place in the winter.

[toreadorabull]

oH,
bUT WHAT'S WINTER,

[emberandash]

A season. It's incredibly cold in a lot of places; I don't really like it much.

I like the lead up to Christmas. I guess people do start talking about it kinda early, but it's half the fun, you know? Planning everything and that kind of thing.

[emberandash]

I thought most people just liked the presents.

[pinball_baby]

Well, that part's awesome too.

[emberandash]

I suppose. I've gotten some very nice things.

It's true that Christmas is a very commercialised holiday nowadays. It takes some of the magic out of it, don't you think?

[emberandash]

I don't really see much magic to begin with.

[zach_is_with_me]

You've never decorated a Christmas tree, have you?

[emberandash]

I haven't.

[unluckychimera]

Hm, I never noticed that. But them, I've never really been on Earth around this time of year long enough to tell the difference.

[emberandash]

I didn't know you went to Earth at all.

[unluckychimera]

I don't go regularly, no. The last time I was there for a decent amount of time... I think I was visiting Arcee after she got turned into a human, and I haven't seen her on here for ages.

[Well, there was one other time since then that he's certain of, but he's a bit embarrassed about that one.]

[emberandash]

... Hm. I'd forgotten about her.

[emberandash]

Some consider it to be religious here.

[emberandash]

I know it's related to Christianity and its various branches.
