The Incredibly Wandering Thread V3 ⊂(◉‿◉)つ

My shortened username was cool and all, but it just seemed… stale. And in three months time I'm wanting to change to be called [supporter]Emperor Hirohito[/supporter], because yes.
 
Well, I think it's nice for you guys to get that as your New Year present, and thinking of it, I haven't got any New Year presents yet. Even though I shouldn't brag, I must say that I'm one of the PC users who changed names on the day the name change feature is returned, and I enjoyed this name already. I personally think that I shouldn't change my name too much though, I don't want to confuse anybody {XD}

Do people even get presents on New Years? I didn't know that was a thing.

I know it doesn't happen in Australia from what I remember. They usually only like to give presents on days that would make sense to give them on. Plus, I heard loads of negative comments from Australian TV viewers regarding the ABC's handling of the Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks broadcasting. They think it was the worst one ever as far as TV broadcasts of the event goes.

Actually, Greece used to celebrate Saint Nick's gift giving on New Years, then commercialism happened.
 
I only celebrated Christmas in school, but I went to a private Catholic school, so no non-religious holidays for us. We didn't even have parties on the last day before Christmas vacation. We all just went to church. Though when I was in kindergarten, there was a grab bag event because six-year-olds tend to be more focused on presents than religion.
 
Huh, I guess its a catholic thing, I've never heard of gifts on the 6th. Unless your not catholic, then I'm ignorant.
 
My family does St. Nicks. Or rather we did. I don't quite remember if we did it last year or not but I do remember getting a sketchbook maybe the year before (or two years ago)? They were normally small gifts but cute nonetheless. I also remember us actually putting grass and water under our beds so the wisemen (aka parents) would replace 'em with said presents. Though now when we do remember to do it it's just out in the living room under the not-yet-put-away stockings in which the gifts are there in the morning.
 
The only time gift-giving occurs in my family is on birthdays and on Christmas. My aunt likes to give out chocolate on St. Valentine's Day, though. But that's just her :P
