Everyone is on about something, have you noticed?

[Private to Cassian]

Any idea what today is supposed to be? Apparently it's something.

	Someone where I work said it's called Thanksgiving. He didn't give me specifics but it's a celebration or holiday on this planet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They seem to have quite a few holidays here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This planet has a lot more than I remember our galaxy having. I can count on one hand the amount of holidays I've seen personally in our own galaxy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think they had any on Jakku. Or, if they did, they certainly never celebrated them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-23 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Not every planet has, especially less populated ones. In my lifetime, the only holiday that everyone was required to know about was Empire Day. But I remember the ones that actually meant something, like Equinox Day on Hosnian Prime and the Festival of Light on Naboo. And the Boonta Eve on Tatooine was always a good reason to drive very fast and drink a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, we're on a new planet, in a new galaxy, whole new world. Maybe we should make our own at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-23 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Our own holiday? You thinking of something specific? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 04:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure, exactly. There hasn't been much worth celebrating since we came here. But it would be nice to have something for ourselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-24 04:43 am UTC (link)
	From what I've heard, there isn't much worth celebrating in our own galaxy either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Something of our own then. If the locals are going to celebrate, we should as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-24 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not disagreeing. I'm just not sure what there is to celebrate. And I've never seen the point of doing something for the sake of doing it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-27 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Then I fear you may have missed what little fun our lives had to offer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-27 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	There wasn't much fun to be had, at the point in our galaxy that I come from. We fought against the Empire, for democracy and freedom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-28 12:01 am UTC (link)
	And I lived alone in a desert junk yard. We all have our burdens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cassian \| Rey insurgent 2017-11-28 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	And you celebrated for the sake of it? In that desert junk yard. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Something about thanks and food, but they are always talking about food here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 02:37 am UTC (link)
	I've noticed that. They talk about it as if they've never had to go without in their entire lives, some of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey wolf_pup 2017-11-24 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Yes, they do. They also talk about it as if it will never run out. Will be chaos should the food run out. Is there really a holiday for food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 02:58 am UTC (link)
	That's what it seems to be. I did a quick search on the history of the day and it seems they've mythologized some real event to the point where it's nearly unrecognizable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey wolf_pup 2017-11-24 03:11 am UTC (link)
	The excess here, rivals all the courts I know renowned for their feasts. How can they eat more food than they do already? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 03:18 am UTC (link)
	I get a stomach ache just looking at them sometimes. And to think of all the times I went without and there are just banquet tables for the taking here (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've seen banquet tables laid out with more food than can really be spared before. The courts have this but most families do this only for special occasions and usually when people have just arrived from a long trip where they would have been on rationed food that may not have even been heated if the travel was hasty. They also pay for it later with less food. I didn't realize how much it really bothered me until they are suddenly putting out even more food.

	It had a way of making me feel quite...other I'd have to say, all things considered (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey wolf_pup 2017-11-24 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I think there will always be things that just do not sit well with me and things that I will not get used to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was just saying to Cassian, maybe it's time for our own celebration (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey wolf_pup 2017-11-24 04:47 am UTC (link)
	What sort of holidays do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Robb \| Rey rskywalker 2017-11-24 05:00 am UTC (link)
	There aren't many. Most religions have their own, and there were a few that were Empire wide, but on Jakku, well we didn't celebrate much of anything (Reply to this) (Parent)
