I love in the English dub Sota yells "All I want for Christmas is you, bro!"

I'm from England and my brother is a chef, he usually works on Christmas! For Christmas eve, Christmas day and I think boxing day (and new years) he gets paid extra and the hours are way shorter on Christmas day but he does work! He's also a chef in a restaurant that's inside a hotel and they're obviously open on xmas + they hold a lot of events there and have specific Christmas dinner events so from year to year it can either be SUPER busy or super quiet- I don't know any other chefs tho and he's only ever worked at this restaurant so far so I don't know if this is super typical of most restaurants or not lol

But yeah we're similar here in england, on xmas day a lot of stuff is either just closed or very very reduced opening hours (including buses and stuff like that)! Although there are some takeaway places that keep their normal opening hours, usually Indian and Chinese takeaway places! A lot of taxi and uber drives around here are hindu/Muslim as well so they'll usually work on xmas since they don't celebrate but just charge way more because they know they can lol :p

Hi, greetings From Germany, i work at a industrial forge for Motor components. In our shiftsystem we handel it With Christmas so that you plan that some of your 30 vacationdays are used to bridge over the Holydays. That means this year our last workday will be the 19th of December and we will Start again of January 5th.

“I think you are just an empath” lol If Steph’s power keeps growing, one day she’ll get flashbacks everytime she eats meat. And that’s a sure way to turn yourself a vegan. Seriously though, it doesn’t sound that weird a thing. Backpain probably means some form of inflammatory response, and that can really be from any kind of chemicals that they use on factory-farmed poultry.

Loving the reactions!! Onto the missing pieces!!!!

For context: Christmas in Japan is more of a romantic holiday, rather than the family and spiritual day it is in America, so a lot of businesses don't close for them. In fact, Xmas is one of the busiest days of the year for businesses like restaurants, department stores, cafes, karaoke bars, movie theatres, and ESPECIALLY cake shops, because the main foods for Xmas there is Christmas strawberry shortcake or I think they're called Canella cakes? The little gold and brown ones, then pizza and KFC fried chicken, which are all absurdly expensive on Xmas I hear. 😅 but usually the cultural trope is that a guy confesses on valentines day, the girl reciprocates or confesses on white day, and Xmas is the holiday where they go on a romantic date, and then they spend new years together if they want to spend the next year together 😊 Also out of curiosity, it makes sense you don't keep Christmas, but how come you keep thanksgiving? Isn't it also technically a pagan thing because the pilgrims joined in on a native American tradition? (Just going off the folklore and barring all the complex cultural issues) no judgement whatsoever btw, my pagan family who very much dislike the actual historical events around it, also celebrate our own version. Kinda a mix between Samhain and traditional American Thanksgiving, and by mix I mean we use the decor, we eat the stupid turkey (hate turkey lol) and we do the dinner on the same day as well as Samhain from Oct 31-Nov 5, but the celebration itself, we basically do a repeat of Samhain, where we do a dummy feeding offering and give thanks to passed loved ones and our ancestors and thanks for the "harvest" where we give an offering to the spirits in the form of apples or whatever things the spirits would appreciate most (if we give the offering to the Alfar for Alfablot which are basically fae, then we give apples, shiny trinkets, cinnamon and mead for eg. Also a good time to note that any offerings we do have always been traditionally eaten and we give a portion to nature, so if animal sacrifice is involved, it literally just means that we give portions to the spirits and eat the rest. Dunno why Hollywood had to make it all weird like we're out there killing pets and wasting product when these rituals were done as a prayer for food, in other words, they wouldn't have wasted food and we don't either, even in modern day where we have it in abundance. It's about respecting nature, not insulting it by excess, but I digress) and basically just give thanks and future thanks via reciprocity for being alive, healthy, and have food on our tables and shelter over our heads that keep us warm. But ya, I was curious if you guys change it at all, or if it's like any other day with a bigger dinner, or if you keep to actual colonial Thanksgiving (minus the turkey lol) and if so, how come? Why is it different from Christmas? ☺️ (Oh, I guess I should clarify that Samhain is a celtic holiday, Alfablot is Scandinavian. My family does both because my grandfather is a Norse-immigrant descendent Scottish, and my grandma is German with Sami ancestry (Sami being indigenous Norse and Icelandic, to simplify that)

Yeah! That’s a great question! So Christmas specifically comes from Saturnalia that was worshipping the sun god. It’s taking pagan customs and rituals for worshipping another god and applying it to the Christian God which the Bible says not to do. The Christmas tree, lights, wreaths, gift giving, Santa Claus, etc… have nothing to with the biblical God in our opinion. Whereas for Thanksgiving, it is more a day of remembering history like July 4th. It comes from both culture’s traditions for harvest festivals but is not inherently religious and doesn’t really have any pagan rituals. The pilgrims’ harvest festival was never in worship of a foreign/pagan god. We eat a big meal with family and that’s it.

You should check out an anime called Tonikawa: Fly me to the Moon. It's a cute romance anime.
