I genuinely don't remember if we had this conversation before, but because of the way the game is set up we don't have a Christmas. I think we didn't have to worry about it last year because GJ was in its death throes.

I think that we should have some sort of holiday festivities. I think we could have something similar to the 12 days of Christmas, starting on December 20 (the day before the solstice) and ending with New Year's celebrations. Every day could be a different feast or celebration (not that we'd have to play something on every day, but we'd have the option).

Do you girls (and guy) have any ideas for other feasts or celebrations we could have?

Edited:

December 20: Bon Festival. A day to say goodbye to the dearly deceased. This is a quiet celebration in which one cares for the spirits that have passed (either long ago or just this year).
December 21: Solstice Feast
December 22: Abe's Feast. A celebration for the first King.
December 23: Snow Day. The one day of the year when all elementals make the weather cold and snowy. Everyone has the day off. Snow forts, snow men, and snow fights abound.
December 24: Alm's Day. A day of charitable giving before the day of more personal gifts.
December 25: Yuletide (or Yule). A day to give gifts and spread joy.
December 26: Festivus. The yearly street masquerade. Every town celebrates; it's like a block party on every street. Sort of like Mardi Gras, but tamer (there are children invited, no naked time).
December 27: King's Feast. A feast hosted by the King for the needy, less privileged citizens of Aylasia. Traditionally held at the Palace.
December 28: Candlement. A day in which mages write down their wishes for the coming year on a slip of paper. They light a candle and burn their wish in the flame so that it is released into the realm of possibility.
December 29: Thanks Day. A day to share your thanks before the turning of the year.
December 30: Seer's Day. The seers gather to announce the naming of the new year.
December 31: New Year's Eve (or Twelfth Night). There will be celebrations at the Hotel Mosaique and other locations in New Meridian
