[See Klavier...he's fast asleep on a long and broad red couch, he's probably so much cuter asleep than when he's awake. It looks to be the middle of the day, an unusual time for sleeping, but he is out cold and he's not the most interesting thing on the couch. No, peeking out from underneath Klavier's hand where it is very content and warm is this little creature and on the edge of the couch Vongole can be seen, his head resting on Klavier's arm and he's watching the creature very intently, whimpering softly]

So you're doing a benefit thing around Christmas 'cause it gets more attention and it's good for your helping-people image. Which means Christmas ain't just a day for you, specifically, to be doin' charity things... and Hanukkah is a longer foreign Christmas. And, what's a Kislev?
[Video]
I think...most people feel more charitable around Christmas...whether it's because they think all of their good deeds and good will to man count for more...I'm not sure. For some reason people feel more moved to do things for others so it should be a time of year for everyone to be doing charitable things.
Hanukkah isn't exactly a foreign Christmas, it's a Jewish Christmas and Jewish individuals live...all over the world. I think the bulk of the population are in America and in Israel. And Kislev is the ninth month on the Hebrew calendar: Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, Tishri, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar...and on a leap year you have Adar I and Adar Beit.

HEY! [The moderate background noise fades into complete silence.] Any of you guys heard of somethin' called Christmas or Hanukkah or Iyar, Kislev or Sivammuzvan or anything like that?
...
[After a few seconds with no response, he waves dismissively and the background noise kicks back up. Stuck with Klavier as his only source of information, he glares, positive he's trying to make this difficult. He doesn't intend to lose... whatever kind of competition this is.]
So. Christmas is a charity party that goes on for a couple of days. And on your world, it's not like a national border culture thing, but a race thing, and somehow people live by different calendars and shit in the same country, and it works out 'cause things like this basically overlap.
Re: [Video]
But different cultures can exist in one place and still work together pretty well. Not always...in some places it's a little harder, but in a lot of places it's possible.

Speaking of knowing what to celebrate... you expecting anything for yer birthday from me?
[Video]
There's a German Christmas legend that on Christmas eve rivers turn to wine, animals speak to each other, trees blossom and bear fruit, mountains open up and spill out precious gems and church bells can be heard from the bottom of the sea. It's a magic that only the pure of heart can witness. Everyone else has to celebrate the normal German way, which is good too because we start our celebrating on St. Nicholas day. We place shoes by the fire place so St. Nick can fill them with treats or twigs if we've been naughty. We have the Thomas Donkey which is very funny...there's feasts and decorations. It's a crazy time where I come from.
Are you expecting me to expect something from you for my birthday? If you wanted to get me something I wouldn't say no, it's all part of the surprise, but I'm not expecting it.
[Video]
Wasn't sure what to expect you to expect. S'why I asked.
Re: [Video]
No worries, I'm not expecting anything, but if I were what would you give me?
[Video]
You think I'd give you somethin' just 'cause you're expecting it?
Re: [Video]
But I'm not expecting it, I'm just curious.
[Video]
If I was even thinkin' of gettin' you anything, you'd say it's the thought that counts and that it's like you got somethin' outtah me anyway.
[Video]
Anyway, since we're only supposing I guess we'll never know what I was expecting.
[Video]
And if you were expecting something, you're a dumbass.
[Video]
It's fortunate for me that I'm not a dumbass.
