gollark: I demand representation for Hexicantilist holidays!
gollark: As an Atheist Satanist Hexicantilist I also celebrate Hexical Day on the 6th of June.
gollark: In any case, for *me*, as someone in a kind-of-Jewish family, I actually have Hanukah *and* Christmas, and in both we ignore the religious stuff and mostly just give gifts & eat many crisps.
gollark: Thing is though that you can retroactively justify any mechanic by reaching into lore of some sort, but it doesn't actually help.
gollark: Indeed.
