So we're all in agreement that I wasn't the only one who seems to have... misplaced a few days from their minds ( Read more... )

No Christmas? Lame, man. It's way awesome, man. Snow, turkey dinner, and exchanging presents.

[Voice] ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 05:02:05 UTC

Oh, I like presents. And food. Can't really go wrong there.

What a strange name, though. But no, we don't have it. I suppose birthdays might come close but that's it.

[Voice] onebluebamf December 23 2010, 05:08:00 UTC

Birthday is pretty close. The name is because on that day, the Christ was born, in a small stable in the town of Bethlehem. He was the Son of God, come to set the world free from sin.

... of course, after two thousand years, the meaning of it is a little different for a lot of people... but that is the true meaning for it: Hope.

[Voice] ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 05:18:53 UTC

That's... odd.

So hope now means presents and food. Interesting. But why the switch?

New Year's? Or Christmas?

[Voice] ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 05:21:01 UTC

Oh. No. New Year's I can sort of understand. It's this... Christmas I know nothing of.

[ written ] dragons_peak December 23 2010, 05:51:48 UTC

It's a religious holiday I think, but my country doesn't really celebrate it that way. For us, it's more of a commercial holiday.

[Voice] ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 06:36:45 UTC

Really? But the rest of the world does? And apparently others. But what do you mean by commercial holiday? I'm not really familiar with that term, I'm afraid.

Believe me, laddie--I once had the worst job in the universe. The days didn't just run together; they fled together in a great screaming mob.

ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 05:48:54 UTC

Ah. Do I really want to know what job that would be?

beaglenapper December 23 2010, 05:52:34 UTC

I'm guessing "no." Now, there's one thing and one thing only to learn about Christmas and New Years: Jameson's.

ima_greywarden December 23 2010, 06:33:05 UTC

Right. I'm not really sure I know what that is.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, of course!

[If it sounds like she might actually be quoting something -- like, oh, say a song? -- it's cause she is.]

[voice] ima_greywarden December 24 2010, 01:45:00 UTC

Is it? Good to know. I suppose.

[voice] slaying December 24 2010, 03:34:52 UTC

It's a shame how many people don't know about it, here.

[voice] ima_greywarden December 24 2010, 06:07:41 UTC

Yes, well. Better late than never.
