{Hello, Johto! Today you have a rather philosophical Nanao popping up on your 'Gears.}

I have a question for you, fellow inhabitants of Johto. What does Christmas mean to you?

//action
{Since it's a lovely sunny Sunday, Nanao is out and about and indulging in what looks to be retail therapy at most of the stores in Goldenrod. Interact Y/N?}

What is this 'Christmas?'

[ There are so many new words to learn in this place. Might as well get a straight answer the first time they are used before another 'tapping' incident comes up. ]

Christmas was once a religious observance, but in the modern era it has lost most of those connotations and has become a celebration where people exchange presents and spend time with their family and close friends.

{Nanao stayed well out of that incident with good reason.}

...I see. I have never heard of such a think, but seems pleasant enough.

[used_glare]

It is quite pleasant, and I have been informed that usually we receive eggs from some unknown source, which is an added bonus.

[ass_ura]

I don't know. My birthday, I guess?

[Audio]

[used_glare]

Really? Well, congratulations, I suppose.

It's an old human holiday that apparently didn't die out in other people's worlds. I never really celebrated it even when it was around, but I guess I'm going to this year.

[used_glare]

Indeed you are. I've cleaned the upstairs rooms, there's plenty of space now.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Well, hopefully we'll manage to get to Goldenrod without almost freezing to death this year. [That had been the opposite of fun. Snow is terrible.]

Anyone else coming?

[used_glare]

If it gets bad, I can send Renji and Shuuhei to help you. {Fire types for the win!}

Hopefully England and China will be here, and you're bringing France... A friend from my world should be here as well, in addition to my current tenants. We'll be cozy, but we'll manage.

What are Tulio and Miguel doing - are they coming too?

Christmas...? Wasn't that when they passed out eggs last year?

[Video]

[used_glare]

{Daughter are you being lazy- I mean.}

Was it? I... wasn't really here for that.

[Video]

[oxidegreen]

Oh.

[Right, she's been here longer than Nanao, huh...]

It happened twice while I was here last year, and I think Christmas may have been one of the occasions.

[Video]

[used_glare]

Really? Hmmm.

{Thinking cap to "on".}

[usedkunai]

Whoa, we're talking about Christmas already? [This is unusual to him.] But, uh... I dunno, spending time with friends? Or... whoever you're dating, I guess. If you are.

[Kind of shrugs, last year was the first time he really did anything, and that was just getting a cake and hanging with his bros.] I never really thought about it.

[used_glare]

Why not? {It is november, after all. And shopping must commence - including her getting you that geetar, not!son.}

Not family? Well, I suppose here that would be a little hard, but...

[usedkunai]

Nah, we don't really celebrate it at home or anything. [He doesn't seem bothered by it or anything, though.] We've never really had a reason, you know? Junes is usually packed with the rush before we close for New Year's and everything, and Mom's usually... well, getting ready for that too.

I guess it's kinda different here though, since there's a lot of people from countries and worlds that celebrate it different. [He laughs a little.] It's a pretty big deal in the west, I know that.
