Y'know, going up in space, visiting other worlds is supposed to blow your damn mind. The idea's that you're exposed to stuff so unreal, so beyond believin' that it's alien to you.

So why exactly are we celebratin' Christmas in space? Feels kinda weird, to be honest. But I guess capitalism and commercialism is a universal concept.

Still, though. Kinda gets me thinkin'. How do you celebrate your holidays where you're from? Don't tell me about Christmas though. We all know about Christmas.

The fact that there is a holiday going on certainly hasn't made the fact that there are three fully intact moons controlling us via some unknown power any less mind blowing to me.

[That said-]

I'm finding the... Christmas? traditions to be not too dissimilar from the holiday back in Remnant. Less religious, perhaps, but decorations and gift giving are fairly on par.

So basically the same, but no religion involved?

[sleepinglotus]

More or less. There may have been a time when it was more religiously motivated but that would have been centuries ago.

Also I'd never heard of... Santa Claus before I came here.

I don't think you're missing much there. Kids love 'em but he's always been kind of creepy.

I didn't really get "creepy" from what little I saw.
