Christmas here is way different from Christmas back home. Or like, what I heard Christmas back home was like. Christmas Eve is a big deal because it's all about couples, like Valentines Day jr or something.

And I was thinking about that and it got me wondering about what other places do for Christmas, and the places that don't have Christmas since there must be tons of worlds where all the stuff that made Christmas happen just didn't happen there.

So I've got a question, kinda.

What's Christmas like for everyone back home, if it's different from this place? And if you're from a place that hasn't got Christmas, do you do anything like it?

Just wondering.

oh! so it's like a big religious meeting thing? what's that like?

That's probably the best description for it. As for what it's like, it depends really. Most people find going to Church and attending Mass a time for them to talk to God so they find comfort in it. Other people find it boring because they can't sit still and listen to the lectures so I guess it's all up to you.

there's a lecture? like in a school?

[ instead of student council president should she have aimed to become church council president ]

do you get a lot of people who come to listen?

[ Pope, Labrys. The career choice you want is Pope. ]

I guess you could call it that. But there really aren't any written tests or exams. The lessons you learn are mostly how to be a better person according to what God has planned for you.

We didn't really get too many people. Christianity isn't as popular as Shinto and Buddhism are, even where we're from.

How do you know what he has planned though? Does he come and talk to you while you're in church?

He must be pretty on top of things if he can come down and talk to you guys whenever you have Mass.

No one really knows what He has planned. That's where faith comes in. Sometimes it comes out like a flash of inspiration, sometimes an opportunity comes when you least expect it.

Everything that happens is within God's plan, even if it's good or bad. Faith is trusting that He knows best and will never abandon you.
