If you're expecting me to buy you a present, you're going to be disappointed. Never been good at picking shit out for other people, and I ain't going to start trying. Unless you want laundry detergent or air fresheners in your stockings. Before anybody starts accusing me of having a crappy holiday attitude, don't bother because I don't care.

Of course, where I'm from the Christmases isn't as festive as they are here. Dumbledore tried, reckoned it would boost morale, and it was easy enough to cut down a tree and decorate it with ornaments that were already in storage. But rationing made it so Hogwarts feasts weren't nowhere as opulent as before, and with each passing year it got tighter. If you got a present, it was usually food or something home made. The school had become a refugee camp, so it was hard to get into the spirit when you'd been driven out of your home and / or the faces of your loved ones were gnawed off by zombies. Times like that is when you really appreciate what you have, along with those people around you. Too bad there ain't a way to send stuff to those that are still there.

	There's a part that's supposed to be Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards Man, but I wouldn't know about that because I ain't ever seen it happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peace hasn't been around much where I've come from either. I'm Hera Syndulla. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pretty much a universal thing. Maybe pockets here and there, but doubt it's possible. Somebody's always going to cause problems. Alastor Moody. Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes they're larger than others, I suppose. It's a pleasure. I'm from Ryloth, it's a planet in the Outer Rim of my galaxy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or maybe some last longer than others. I'm from Derry, a city on the Outer Rim of Ireland. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose so. I'd like to think the Empire won't last so long, but they have already been around for most of my life. Is Ireland a planet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're part of that universe with the Empire, eh? Ireland's a country on Earth. There's a version of it on this Earth, but it'll be different than my Earth on account there's no Wizarding communities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've heard of it then? It's one in the same, although it wasn't always an Empire, there was a Republic before. You're a wizard? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorta. Know somebody else from the same universe as you. Do tell. What happened? Aye, I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A man named Palpatine declared himself Emperor, killed off hundred of the Jedi Knights, who were the protectors of that Republic. It came at the end of a long and messy war and many people just wanted peace, but the peace came with a strong price.

It seems like there are many different types of people here, and I look forward to getting to know them all. What is it like in this Ireland that is here, but not here.
