six | forget thanksgiving

[thneed]

Let me just get a question out here that's super important as November winds down here (It's not too early for this, I swear)--

How many of you don't know what Christmas is?
And does it snow here?

It's really important. For business. (Super important) And not only that but also because Christmas is magical and everyone needs a winter holiday. I want to cover all the grounds and if we're an island of non-believers Santa might not come. I'm pretty sure New Moore isn't going to get the Whoville Christmas special on TV that I watch every year so if nobody's got anything going on I'm going to have to step up. Lots of planning to get done here. We gotta go big.

So! If you could just tell me:
A: If you know what Christmas is or not
B: If you celebrate some other winter holiday we can spread around winter spirit for. Does it involve gifts?
AND
C: What's the winter weather going to be in New Moore? I can never tell with this place.

[fuckincakewake]

i walready have a thnedd tho

[allthezpms]

Oh, so does this mean you're going to be starting a caroling service soon?

[thneed]

I hadn't thought of carols. Do you think people will want that? That's a good idea, Rodney.

[badnewsboy]

I'm familiar, though I have never celebrated it. The gods celebrate Yule, or midwinter. There are no gifts, but the festivities are plentiful.

[thneed]

You can celebrate it this time! We can do a big holiday combo. What kind of festivities does Yule have?

[maiditoutalive]

you mean you didnt take notes the first time i explained it to you??

[thneed]

I took a little. But I need to know about everyone's explanation.

[badnewsboy]

There are some who wouldn't mind if explained it once again.

Teddie LOVES CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

[thneed]

I can see that!

[dreamingoflove]

I've never heard of Christmas but I did always celebrate with gifts for my friends around the middle of winter.

[thneed]

Did you call the gift exchanging anything?

[notdogmatic]

I am aware of Christmas.

I have never celebrated it, however.

Last year, there was snow very briefly, and afterward the island's normal climate was restored.

[thneed]

You can celebrate it this year!
How much snow? How brief is brief?

[amberwaves]

DUDE SANTA COMES NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR WHO IS AROUND and what do you mean no Christmas specials??? No Grinch or It's a Wonderful Life??? That's terrible!!

[thneed]

Are you sure he'll show up no matter what? And yeah, I haven't seen that Wonderful Life movie so I don't know but The Grinch's yearly roast beef Christmas speech probably isn't going to reach us over here. We don't even get the right channels for it.

[riseup]

this is cool!
well, the trolls who were here last year know about christmas now, but the new ones probably don't.
they have a similar holiday though.
it did snow last year and i hope it does again.
i miss snow.

[thneed]

Yeah. Their holiday got described to me and was a little strange but the general idea is close enough, right.
If it snows my trees are going to turn blue...

[coimiceoir]

[Here, have a dose of cheery scorn.]

Of course I know what Christmas is. It's what the monks renamed our solstice celebrations!

[audio]

[thneed]

Winter solstice is still winter solstice. I'm talking about Santa and Christmas.

[badnewsboy]

There were many celebrations at that time. We now get an overweight gentleman with flying reindeer giving gifts.

[encore_dueling]

I know of christmas but i cant say ive made a huge celebration of it.
It was a little tricky to pull that kind of thing off.

[thneed]

[ text. it's text. what color do you type in now if this guy clearly had dibs on green before even coming here? think once-ler think...
what if it was-

nah ]

You can celebrate it big here.
