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

It's a Christian religious holiday. But most people celebrates it with the tree, the presents and Santa.

Ah ah! Don't mislead the poor boy. The date was first used for pagan holidays and rituals.~

[reginagloriae]

Was it? He asked about Christmas, anyways, not about the date.

[ihasfeather]

The Dies Natalis Solis Invicti was first celebrated around December twenty fifth.

It's the Romans that really first started celebrating Christ's birth near the twenty fifth, but that's more around three hundred and seventy-eight AD, dear. Even then the religious aspect was more towards January sixth. Really it isn't until about the Twelfth Century that we start celebrating Christ's birth in association to December twenty fifth.

It looks like everyone's finally explaining it!

[notaspure]

It doesn't sound like a bad holiday.

[thepathtolight]

Any excuse to give you presents is one I like!

[notaspure]

... I'm still thinking about what to get you.

[floralities]

Hey, Teito.

[notaspure]

Hey, Ino.

Do you know where to get some lights for a tree?

[floralities]

No idea.

[notaspure]

I'll look for them when I go out with Mikage tomorrow, then.

We're going to get a Christmas tree.

I don't celebrate Christmas at home either... And I'm not really sure who to ask. It seems like the sort of thing most people here already know.

[notaspure]

A lot of the people here have said it involves giving gifts to the people you care about, a big man named Santa who works with elves, and... there's a tree and cake involved.

[dreamsofhorns]

...That seems rather random.

[notaspure]

It does, but... it's not a bad random.

Mikage and I were going to get a Christmas tree. Are you okay with that?
