"Presents Under the Tree Day?" Is that the Godde [ No, not Goddess Day. What was the name of that other winter holiday? ] Christmas holiday of your homeland?

[your_best_friend]

No, it's the "Presents Under the Tree Day" holiday in my homeland. See, there's this person that dresses as Santa and puts presents under the tree for everyone to open.

[multidisciplinary]

Ah, yes, he is also affiliated with a holiday called Christmas. If I recall correctly, it also involves gifts and trees.

[your_best_friend]

Anything else about this 'christmas' except for it having a weird name?

[multidisciplinary]

Let me see what I can remember. It's been quite some time since I experienced it.

- Santa has a workshop filled with machinery to make gifts. I believe it is run by elves.
- It is customary to decorate evergreen trees and the star that goes on top is the most important piece.
- The holiday tends to attract storybook villains bent on destroying it.

What tree should I write my wishes under?

[your_best_friend]

You can voice your wishes anywhere! Just look underneath any and all pine trees you see for presents when the holiday comes!

[donfire]

Really? I didn't know that was possible!

The holiday that's coming is the Christmas one right.?

[your_best_friend]

No, it's called "Presents Under the Tree" Day. "Christmas" sounds so goofy! I have no idea how you humans come up with that.

[donfire]

Really? There was a holiday called Christmas here last year... maybe "Presents Under the Tree" Day is a better one?

[your_best_friend]

Of course it is! It's the name for the holiday I grew up with! What else is it gonna be called that isn't completely abstruse?

[donfire]

Very true! That's good to know! I need to learn more about holidays!

How did this holiday become a tradition?

[your_best_friend]

Do you want the classic reason or the real reason?

[donfire]

There's two?

Then both!

No way. Santa is a dick. He never brings me anything. It's a stupid holiday.

[your_best_friend]

What is it that you want? Perhaps you just didn't speak loud enough!

[melodiouspacifist]

I stopped asking after a few years, he doesn't care.

[ One has to be good to get presents from Santa. ]

[your_best_friend]

And what would you ask of him if he did care? What did you want before you stopped asking?

I mean it's not like you don't want anything ever~.

[melodiouspacifist]

Uhhhh, well I might like to try something new, like a violin or a guitar. Just for fun. So I'd ask for that.

[your_best_friend]

How different? Something like a woodwind or bass? Harp or Koto? Or just stick to the familiar shape of your sitar?

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm a strings kinda guy, but I mean if I had another instrument I'd still learn it.

Is this about that holiday "Christmas" I heard so much about? First Halloween and now Christmas?

There certainly are a lot of holidays coming up.

[your_best_friend]

No, human "Christmas" is separate than a monster's "Presents Under the Tree Day", though I keep on having people tell me they're similar.

[localweirdo]

Is that so?

How are they different?
