[Whoa... let her take in all of that before she goes on about her own holidays.]
So... Easter. Eggs from bunnies and candy. Right. It does sound like useful training, though, making the kids work to find their stuff. We've had to do scavenger hunts and stuff like that, except our stuff would be guarded and trapped before we could get to it. And it usually wasn't candy, either.
And Christmas... it sounds kind of like our end of the year winter festival that we hold, except it's not so much a thing for kids as it is a holiday for like... couples, I guess. The holiday that's for family is Shougatsu, New Year's? And that's around the same time of year.
It's kind of weird that you have this guy who's supposed to give you presents though. I mean, why would you teach a bunch of kids to trust some strange figure who just comes around once a year to maybe give you things? I mean, I'd probably want to teach my kids to set traps to catch whoever would try to break into my house.
Okay, but before I forget, Hinamatsuri and White Day. Hinamatsuri is always right before my birthday, March 3rd. It's a girls' festival, where you dress up nice and put up tiers of all these little dolls for the holiday, make special food, that kind of thing. The dolls are dressed like daimyo and attendants and all of that.
And the White Day is basically a month after Valentine's Day. If a girl gives a guy chocolates or something for Valentine's, on White Day, a guy's supposed to give all the girls who've given him something a gift in return. It's kind of nice, I guess, but I never bothered to make anything for Valentine's, so obviously I never got anything for White Day. Besides, that one's only a couple days after my birthday too, so it's not a big deal.
