Does anyone here celebrate special or commemorative days from home, such as birthdays, holy days, or anniversaries?

What dates do you reckon by?

Christmas.

[painful day but it was the first thing that came to mind]

[thinkin_arbys]

Is it a formal event here?

[11ady]

I haven't had Christmas here yet though, awhile back, some drunks thought it prudent to celebrate a few months early.

[thinkin_arbys]

A few months early? Why?

[notwhelmed]

I guess I celebrate most things like that when they come up.

Is there something coming up? I don't think any Holidays are coming up this month though. Why do you ask?

[Text]

[thinkin_arbys]

So the reckoning of days just continues as normal? Would you count from the date when your world ended, or from the day it is by the calendar here?

I think it is normal to ask, so we could know when birthdays and other important days are.

By the calender here. It kind of saves the headache of trying to celebrate things when people aren't. But I keep track of a calender that goes by the date I last knew of from my place.

I guess so. But usually people ask these things because something is coming up. Planning on celebrating a birthday or something?

I see; it makes sense, but it feels like losing time, to me. It's the most logical way to do things, however. Keeping a calendar from the old world seems like a large task, but I may assemble one for my own reference.

I was trying to understand if it is appropriate to celebrate my birthday so soon after it would have been at home. A mere six months' difference doesn't seem fair.

I've had the chance to wish someone special a happy birthday~ [ By that, he means completely embarrass a loud, young woman. ]

[ Since he arrived well into the summer, ] I don't see any reason not to observe the upcoming holy days.

[ VOICE ]

[thinkin_arbys]

I was mostly wondering about those. It was already winter in my world, so by that reckoning I would have missed several.

[ VOICE ]

[fujimoto_shiro]

Winter? My, my. I love winter. That is a bit odd, though! I last remember spring.

[thinkin_arbys]

It seems it might be different for each of us.

I do.

I use a calendar to keep track.

[thinkin_arbys]

Do you observe them on their respective days here, or do you keep a calendar from home?

text

[volcanisms]

Sort of both. The calendar is more used to keep track of holidays and stuff unique to my home.

[thinkin_arbys]

I do have a few unique things I need to be sure to observe. I just wonder if there's some sort of time difference. When I came here, it was several months either prior to or after the month and day in America.

I tend to observe or at the very least recognize various dates of importance left over from my home world as well as the commemorative anniversary of my various friends conception.
This may not be very useful to you if our calendars are not synchronized to accommodate this.

[text]

[thinkin_arbys]

The lack of synchronization is what bothers me, yes. There are many holy days I would like to observe, but with the dates changing, I have a difficult time deciding what to do.

How many seasons does your world have?

[thinkin_arbys]

We have four.
