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?

A whole fucking lot. The five main ones are Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. And there are a lot more smaller ones. Not to mention sects of the big five. That's one of the main reasons we have so many wars here, actually.

Is "Judaism" the same as "Jewish"?

Yes. Someone who's Jewish practices Judaism. The only religion that doesn't follow a similar naming pattern is Islam; Muslims are the ones who practice that, not Islamists or something like that.

Why do they bother having so many?
