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.

Yeah. It's kind of annoying, but I guess the candy companies like it.

Yeah, Valentine's and Halloween are the big candy holidays for us. I heard a rumor that the formulas they use in the chocolate actually changes in October to keep up with production demands, but who knows.

No idea. Halloween isn't really a thing here. I kind of know about it because of movies and stuff like that, but almost no one celebrates that here.

You got some other fall holiday instead?

We have Bon near the end of summer, which is to celebrate the dead, and Respect for the Aged Day at the end of September. Autumnal Equinox Day is around then, too. Health and Sports Day is near the middle of October, Culture Day is at the beginning of November, and Labour Thanksgiving Day is near the end of November. There's also the 7-5-3 Festival which is in the middle of November, but since I'm older than five it doesn't really matter much to me and won't unless I have kids.
