Isn't Christmas over a month away? Why is everyone talking about it already?

It's all over Earth, too. I never bothered to ask last year; is it a national or a worldwide holiday?

It's all over! And people like planning ahead because it's the best holiday ever!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not on my world.

I don't remember anything particularly special about it.

[gluttonforpasta.livejournal.com]

Veh, well it's all over the world here.

It's special because it's when everybody gets together and is nice to each other and gives gifts and the food's really great and the decorations are nice and there's colors and bright lights everywhere!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm never nice to anybody.

[gluttonforpasta.livejournal.com]

Veh, your loss then. That's part of why Christmas is so nice!

Christmas hype always starts early, and it gets a little earlier every year.

I'm not going to go as far as to say it's worldwide, but it's celebrated in several different countries.

Why? What's so special about it?

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Everyone loves celebrating capitalism!

Oh, and I guess Jesus is kind of important, too.

Who?

It's a religious holiday technically. But because Christianity is so wide-spread, it's basically a worldwide holiday. And it is early, but if you want to get any sort of decent gift for people, you do have to start ridiculously early like this.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why?

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

Because everyone else starts ridiculously early like this. Besides, a few of my gifts I'm actually getting personalized so I need to give the guy plenty of time to do his job.

are you giving people bodies Birkin 8|

Why do you care so much? You can give people presents anytime.

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Well, it started out as a religious holiday, but it's really all commercialized now.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. It's all over the stores.

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Exactly. They're already setting up the displays here in the city. Seems like it happens earlier and earlier every year.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Which city?

I'm glad to see your deductive reasoning skills are as strong as ever.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not attempting to deduct anything.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Clearly.

You received gifts for Christmas last year from people from Japan. You are seeing people discussing it in America. The idea of it being a national holiday should not have been a possibility you even considered.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I also received gifts from people on my own world.

I'm not on Earth, but we have it too. It's worldwide, with some exceptions. People get very excited about it, likely because it's a very profitable time of year for businesses, so its been slowly inflated. And I think because it's the end of the year, people feel the urge to get out all their frustrations.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

A holiday built upon frustrations?

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not really built on it. It's more like that because it symbolises an approaching end to the year, everyone feels they can let loose. The same sort of thing happens with New Years.

New Year's isn't over-hyped here.
