I still don't get it.
<cellist>
The bottom line is that people see it as an opportunity to come together and share gifts with one another.
Becomes a lot more simple if you think of it in those terms.
<ULTRAMARINE>
Or a funeral?
[Yes, Lapis somehow knows about those but not Christmas.]
<cellist>
You give gifts at funerals? That a Mirror-World thing?
<ULTRAMARINE>
No, and I've only been to one. But It was also a wedding and a bunch of other parties together because this human who was mad about some stuff liked that kind of thing? So we threw a party that was a wedding and a funeral together.
Only nobody was dead.
<cellist>
What, did you mash a bunch of holidays into one *big* holiday?
[ ...She gets points for efficiency. ]
Christmas is less complicated. Give a gift. Get a gift. Wear funny hats.
<ULTRAMARINE>
And yeah, basically.
[Wasn't even her idea to do it!]
I thought it was wear sweaters, not hats?
<cellist>
It's both. It's anything. People wear reindeer ears and paint their noses red.
Clearly, it's a lawless time of year.
<ULTRAMARINE>
It certainly sounds like it is, lawless I mean.
<cellist>
Your invitation should be showing up in the mail at some point.
