What is all this recent commotion about giving gifts to each other? Is there a holiday or event I'm unaware of?

...Trying to give gifts in a place like this seems rather difficult.

It's nearly Christmas, that's why.

You might have a point about it being difficult though..

Christmas? ...What does it celebrate?

Food and materials are scarce...I suppose you'll have to be more creative when giving gifts here.

[idkmybffmrhat.livejournal.com]

Uhm, it's a celebration of the birth of Jesus. It's the best holiday of the year!

I'm sure people will manage somehow.

It's nearly a holiday on some worlds~ Even though it's a bit less than ideal here, it's still nice to have something to look forward to!

...Trying to bring hope around here?

[big-kitty.livejournal.com]

It makes things a bit less mundane and stressful, I'd say.

It's almost Christmas -- Christmas being a religious holiday of sorts on December 25th. Gift-giving is one of the traditions.

If one is good with their hands, there's a good deal of raw material to be had here. There's just a lack of more expensive things.

Gift-giving...Sounds like a well-intended holiday.

Seems difficult to build something without any tools though.

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. I was able to make some tangrams to use as gifts last year.

It seems that several people come from cultures that have holidays that fall around this time of year. At least, based on what people have discussed.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have been told that some are celebrating this "Christmas" holiday.

[awkwardbureaucrat]

I don't know anything about it either.

Around this time tends to be some variant of a harvest festival for many places I believe; it seems to be somewhat common across worlds.

It's difficult, but I don't believe impossible. Just requiring of a little more thought than normal. Would you like something?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...I only heard of New Year's before.

You don't have to get me anything.

[lovelyscientist.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose we should make this a good one for you, hm?

But I want to. You don't mind, do you?

[dividend.livejournal.com]

It probably is a bit difficult... but it's the thought that counts, right?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...I suppose so.

And what are you going to give?

[dividend.livejournal.com]

I... haven't given it much thought yet, to be honest.

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of this myself, s-so I'm kind of confused too...

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Apparently, it's a celebration in the winter season and people give gifts to honor it.

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

I've learned that much from watching what's going on in this device... I just don't understand why people are making a big deal about it.

You have heard the tales told on the network, I believe?

Normally, the gift giving is somewhat less tedious; though it seems to vary between worlds.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

I heard of some, though I'm never quite focused on any of them.

I see. Do you celebrate it in your world?

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

Christmas?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

That's what it appears to be.

...Do you celebrate it?
