whatever holiday you grew up with where kids get presents for not being shitty people, it's that a fat man in a white suit delivers them here. his name is santa where i came from, saint nicholas to these people.
[ every culture has it. apparently space had life day, whatever that was. ]
[ and it probably did, for dutch. maybe not in the same way that it sucked for daisy, but childhood trauma's not a contest and she doesn't care to set up a measuring stick for messed up backstories. they can commiserate just fine without the gory details. ]
the harvest festival was mostly about food and supplies. making sure people had enough to eat, clothes on their back, that sort of stuff. christmas or sinterklaas or whatever you want to call it is mostly just about doing nice things for other people. there's a donation drive going on, if that's something you're into.
if you want to just show up to the party and bring booze for the crowd, that's cool too.

[ insert shrug emoji here (except no, it did suck - and now she knows why khlyen did what he did, which makes it both better and worse). ]
