the human tradition is you only get gifts if you have been good.

[riseup]

ok, don't listen to poland, he is being a jerk.
there is no christmas test!
christmas is a time where friends and family give each other presents.
and i have been thinking it would be fun if we could all do something as a group.

... I assume you're talking about Christmas.

[rocketchair]

yEAH, uHH, i THINK SO,
dO YOU CELEBRATE IT,
iS THAT, sOMETHING, tHAT ALL HUMANS DO,

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say all humans celebrate it. A lot of us do, but there's also a lot of us who don't, and the ones who don't tend to get offended when the ones who do assume that everyone celebrates their holiday.

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

It's kind of complicated, because it involves religion. Do, um ... trolls have religion?

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

Then again, there are plenty of people who see Christmas solely as an excuse to indulge in mindless corporate commercial excess. But that's an entirely different can of worms.

i JUST, tHOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE, tO, uHH, gIVE PEOPLE THINGS, fOR FUN,

[calmyourmind]

I do not see any reason why you and your friends should not participate. It is, after all, a holiday of sharing kindness. There are really no prerequisites for taking part in it, my friend. It has become a bit of a gift giving tradition, however, it is still largely about spreading joy and enjoying the company of those you hold dear, at the heart of it all.

I think it is splendid that you want to take part in it.

[rocketchair]

sO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, yOU JUST DO THINGS, nICE THINGS, fOR PEOPLE,
bUT, iF THAT'S TRUE, wHAT MAKES IT A SPECIAL DAY,
aND HOW DO i KNOW IF i'M, uHH, dOING IT RIGHT,

[calmyourmind]

I am not really sure there is a wrong way to do it, if your heart is in it, my young friend. The special nature of the day comes from a spiritual based faith some humans share, though the specific details and ideals vary. Even the date varies, for some. The world would be a far more pleasant place, certainly, if it was not merely a specific time people chose to act this way. If you would like, I do believe the rental store has some films on the subject that may help you. I would recommend stories, over films, myself, but I have come to understand that movies are the more accepted means of entertainment. Rather unfortunate but it will do for the purpose.
