Hello, everyone! [ comes a chipper greeting. This is Rosie's first time addressing the collective of displaced individuals like herself, so... She wants to make a good impression!
As she talks though, her hands are busy working beneath the framed screen on something. It sounds like paper being folded, maybe, but she's able to look away from it to smile into the lens. ]
The end of the year usually means lots of holidays where I'm from, which got me thinking what other worlds might celebrate. I figured it might be fun to talk about and, like, compare notes in a way!
Specifically: What are your New Year's traditions? Mine always involved lots of special food and it's the only day of the year you'll catch me awake at sunrise, but- I'd like to know what other people do! [ She pauses briefly as something occurs to her- ] Even if your New Year isn't the first too! Some cultures on my world could also be using different calendars so their new year wasn't until later.
[ That seems to be it, maybe, as she pauses again. She promised (herself, mostly) she'd try to let people in a little more so... ]
I'm also, uh, not used to doing a New Year's celebration by myself anymore, so- If anyone wants to do anything together, like, you can just. Let me know!
[ Before she can embarrass herself any further, the blond reaches out to end the video hastily. ]

It's... Something about making sure you have good luck in the coming year? I think? It wasn't something i thought about much.

I moved a lot when younger but honestly one of the things I only did have then was some traditions from my home country
drinking happens with us too!
though the sauerkraut is different
I don't think I've ever had it?

Moving a lot makes it hard to keep anything, so I'm glad you managed something. Where do you call Home and what sort of traditions did you have?
no subject
I'll have to try it! I'm not a huge veggie fan in general, but some stuff is good
I was born and raised in Japan
and our traditions center a lot around food and the gods of the new year!
oh, and
the first dream of the new year is supposed to be, like, an omen of the year to come
so hopefully no nightmares!!
