Holidays and Traditions

''So there's this human holiday coming up where people literally spend an entire day, dressed as monsters, demons, and... People wearing tights? They also have these bizarre, orange plants with the most disturbing faces carved into them. They kinda look like whener Daeva tries to make a rice and bean casserole. Plus, you have to say this phrase just to get a bagful of sweets. Molly tried to explain the whole thing to me, but I still don't really get it. I dunno, human holidays are weird, yet...Charming. Besides, all of the kids seem to be really excited for this, "Halloween", so who am I to judge, right? But that holiday isn't the one I'm REALLY excited for, though. Get this: humans have this other holiday tradition where you literally just spend the entire day eating food! Now THAT is something I can get behind. Molly also told me about another one where apparently, this fat, magical elf rides around in an enchanted sleigh, handing out gifts to the entire world. That's cool, but I'm just waiting on this, "all you can eat" holiday to come around. I do kind of want to find this elf guy though, to be honest. ''

''On a completely different note, did you know that Earth's solar eclipses only last for a few minutes!? The ones back at home last for at least a few days, or more depending on the date. Pretty uneventful, if you ask me. I keep forgetting how different things are here. They're not "bad", per say, just... Different, and that's okay. The seasons change a lot faster, too. Like, the leaves are already changing colors and falling off trees, and it hasn't even been a full year yet! What's really funny (and a little annoying), is how fragile everything is here. Let's take yesterday as a prime example: ALL I did was flick the side of some big, human vehicle, and it exploded to bits! Like, what the heck?! I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time! Eh, it is what it is, I guess; those are really just tiny nitpicks, and I'm feeling pretty grumpy right now. I always get like this whenever I'm hungry. I should really eat something... Anyway, I'll try to right back as soon as can, though it's been a little tricky when you're also trying to help protect this beautiful place. ''

''I miss you guys so much, and not a day goes by that I don't wish you all were here. I know we'll see each other really, really soon. Love you guys!''
