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.

Christmas back home is basically the same as it is for you. It's more like valentines then anything.

Also, there's more chicken.

I never really celebrated it very much, even if it definitely exists, where I'm from.

It was a bit different when I was a young child; we didn't really celebrate it then, either - not in the way that people here seem to - but my father always did something extravagant with my sister and I for Christmas. He always seemed to know exactly what we wanted, even if I was certain we hadn't told him, and he would provide it for us regardless of how outlandish it was; he generally spent time with us then as well, moreso than usual, when he was usually preoccupied with his work.

But all of that was a long time ago; over 17 years by now. At this point it's just another day for me, really, since I've been on my own all that time and I don't have any religious attachment to the holiday, either, so it's not like there's much point in observing it.

Yaknow it's kinda weird, but...I remember Christmas, but I don't think we ever celebrated it back home. I never really asked anyone why that was cause I figured it wasn't that big of a deal. We never did anything like what's been done here, at least.

Back home, we'd end up celebrating Christmas after mass with the rest of the priests. Dad would get a cake and my brother would cook something special... they always made a big deal out of Christmas because it was so close to my brother's and my birthday.

We don't have Christmas back in my world. We do have a tradition of a small family gathering and feast on the winter solstice, but it's really casual and my family only ever celebrated that with my friend's family that we've always been very close to.

We don't celebrate Christmas in my country. New Years would be considered the closest thing we have to it.

But it's much better.
