"Nothing. We don't have the religion associated with Christmas. Instead we had Starsfall on the winter solstice. That time of year we always get tons of shooting stars. And I lived out in the country, so the whole town would turn off their lights just to watch."

"Legend has it that the lights were the souls of our loved ones who have passed on, come back to check on those they left behind. Children would make Catchers, painted glass balls to invite spirits into. To entice them to stay longer. That way they could bring their families luck."
