Can someone tell me more about what Christmas is? I've already heard a lot about presents and this really big man.

There's a religious part behind it but most people celebrate it with gift giving. When I was little, I was told Santa Claus would come to our house at night and deliver presents if I was good.

[notaspure]

Santa Claus?

[rockstar_otouto]

He's a dude that lives up in the North Pole and he's got this workshop with tons of elves and they make presents.

[notaspure]

So there's a man that... lives in the North Pole and has elves?

[This makes absolutely no sense. What are elves, anyway?]

[wind_magic]

This Christmas thing seems really popular, doesn't it?

[notaspure]

It does. I can see why it is, though.

[wind_magic]

Really? I don't see any point to it at all.

[notaspure]

Most people like to give and get things.

It seems like everyone has beaten me to the present part. However, there is an alternate reason as to why Christmas is a special holiday, dear.~

[notaspure]

What is the other reason?

[ihasfeather]

It can be taken as a religious holiday celebrating the birth of a very controversial Jew.~

Though that date is up in the air.~

[exorcistakuma]

It's a holiday celebrating the birth of God's son.

[notaspure]

It is?

I don't really know anything about Christianity. It doesn't exist in my world.

[exorcistakuma]

Aaah, I see. Then it would be a little confusing. But yes, that is the official reason to celebrate it. Except instead of giving presents to God's son, you give them to your friends and family.

[notaspure]

That makes sense, then. I like the idea of the holiday, and being giving things to friends and family. It's not a bad idea.
