Okay, so the City is pretty much part of a pretty regular version of Earth, and I have seen Christmas decorations all over the place so it's pretty safe to assume that it has normal Earth holidays right? Uhm, wait, unless my Earth is the one with weird holidays.

[ Pausing and scrunching up his face thoughtfully. It's like he JUST NOW thought of that possibility and is suddenly boggling over the idea. ]

Are Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah still normal holidays here? Because I think those are the normal ones where I am from. Also I have never celebrated the Kwanzaa or Hanukkah, so I don't actually know what's normal for them, but I know it involves candles, but... people still get trees to decorate for Christmas, right?

This is all relevant because we need to get a Christmas tree before the 25th!

That strikes me as a rather silly tradition. If one happened to reside in an area where a tree couldn't be easily purchased, would they simply be barred from participating?

[dupable.livejournal.com]

No, I mean... you can still cut one down if you want to! But it was tradition for me to go out and pick one out from someone selling them...

[glowsferatu]

These traditions then are only optional, then, but remain preferable over more practical methods when they should present themselves?

[dupable.livejournal.com]

I guess so, yeah!

[glowsferatu]

That seems a little silly, if you aren't offended by my saying so.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Not really. I mean, I'm not really offended! I can't really explain it that well, it's just something that people do.

[glowsferatu]

And so, you aren't too terribly inclined to alter it?

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Uh-uh... Sorry!

[glowsferatu]

Ah, well alright, then. But I certainly think it will be less enjoyable this way.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

It's okay! The best part is decorating the tree anyways.

[glowsferatu]

What sort of materials do you use?

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Well, there are ornaments you can buy, but you can also make your own out of all sorts of things!! Whatever you want, as long as their small and llight enough to hang on the tree. And Christmas lights!

[glowsferatu]

Oh, lights? I require more details on this aspect.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Yeah! A long string of tiny colorful lights.

[glowsferatu]

Oh! That sounds delightful!

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Right? It looks really amazing, especially after you get the other ornaments up and the lights reflect off of them.

[glowsferatu]

From your description, I think I may enjoy this aspect of the holiday!

[dupable.livejournal.com]

I bet you'll enjoy more of it than just that too!

[glowsferatu]

Oh? What more does it have to offer?

[dupable.livejournal.com]

Presents for one thing! For everyone!

[glowsferatu]

Similar to a birthday, then? Only less exclusive with the recipients?

[dupable]

Kind of! I mean, it's a birthday of sorts anyways, just everyone gets more presents.

[glowsferatu]

Well, this sounds like a most delightful occasion, then!

[dupable]

Yeah! It's really great for spending time with family or close friends too.

[glowsferatu]

Well, "family" remains a concept I really only understand in the most academic terms.
