ATTENTION ENTIRE TRANQUILITY except the creepy-crawlies in the hallways, you stay out

due to the fact that i'm really super sick of hearing about some vague impending space christmas without any kind of actual space christmas, i've decided next month is gonna have space christmas.

so mark your calendars because exactly two weeks after the jump is gonna be space yuleapalooza and none of you actually have any say in it. so don't be an asshole about it. be festive instead.

if you don't know what christmas is: the short story is basically that everyone gives each other gifts of some kind and it's this huge spirit of giving thing and people optionally decorate with shiny shit like tinsel but idk if we have any tinsel? and i guess just ~bonding and closeness~ and all that. togetherness? and like, if you really want to go for accuracy you can turn the heat way down and shiver under a blanket with someone but that's mostly because winter's cold as balls, it's not actually a christmas thing.

in summary i repeat: two weeks from jump, space christmas.

that's pretty much it. later

... as somebody who hasn't actually had Christmas in, like, three years, I'm in complete support of the idea. Good thinking!

Are you bringing up dear-Santa letters to anyone who asks what Christmas is?

[ hooray this is just what he wanted :') no jk this is the precise opposite of what he wanted but he can see Sirius' hand in this and he's not going to be a jerk about it regardless. ]

There must be a mechanism in your design of this holiday for people to opt out, and no pressure or guilt can be levied against those who choose to opt out. That is important.

Please; I'm not saying this to dampen your enthusiasm or take away from the generosity of what you're doing. But please do remember that Christmas is also a religious holiday, and one that has certain sorts of significance. By putting pressure on people to participate, you are essentially asking them to conform to Western/Christian/Earth culture. While this is no reason not to hold the holiday, it is a strong reason why not to attempt to levy guilt against those who don't wish to be a part of it.

So close! If we just count the months we're awake it'll actually be December for me the jump after next. On the bright side this means I get to for once have Christmas without my birthday.

Yes, I know what you're going to say. My points are valid, Sirius. No one should be subjected to guilt for not wanting to be part of it. Causing unpleasantness to others, even in defense of "fun," is still causing unpleasantness to others.

My points are valid. You need to stop imposing your cultural values upon others.

It's NOT. GUILTING people when they do not participate IS.
