I suppose. Traveling different worlds is new to me and I have not really conversed with anyone about holidays. I do know my world had many difference ways of celebrating the winter solstice. Too many to really tell at length, and it has changed throughout history.

For my people the winter solstice was very important. It marked the beginning of the return of spring, when the days would grow long again. We had calendars that recorded the light of the sun and moon. Hm. Our astronomy was far more advanced than how modern historians wish to view us...

[That last part seems more to herself, and thoughtful.]

I'm sorry, I went a little off track. Really, it seems to me this is a new world we are making. New worlds should have holidays of their own and their own unique way of celebrating, don't you think?

[A pause.]

Does Quadratus have a winter solstice?
