So Christmas is coming up, I guess. It's more of a lover's holiday in Japan, but it doesn't seem like it is here? I guess it's more like the American version without the religion.

What sort of things do you guys do for Christmas in your home worlds? I usually just ignored it, mostly, since it's not as big of a deal where I'm from and I wasn't dating anyone. Apparently in other countries eating fried chicken on Christmas isn't a thing? I don't know why it's a thing in Japan, it just is.

Some, I guess. A lot of people still pay lip service for both Shinto and Buddhist holidays where I'm from, though.

Neither of those were very popular in my parts of the world, but they still have their followers. I wonder if their holidays have remained the same over time?

I wouldn't know. I don't pay much attention to religion, personally.

Neither do I. Wasn't raised to be either for or against it, though. We just had different priorities.

The same with my family. They were focused on business.

Neither money-making nor war leave much time for gods, I guess.

Not really, no. The business they were involved with practically ran the town, so they always had things they had to do.

Sounds like a busy life, but also one that's very involved and important.

It was. It's uncertain what's going to happen at home, but... well. I'm not at home now. Christmas was a while ago there.

That always feels a little strange, doesn't it? The difference between what day it was back home and the day here, I mean.

[grapeeater]

Yes. I suppose it doesn't really matter what day it was at home right now, though.

Not really, unless you're looking for an excuse to celebrate your birthday twice a year.
