Genesis Crisis: Resurgence OOC II

no IC post for Genesis Crisis?

Working on it.

Yay

How's it going? :0

Good m.m just coming back from a girls night out XD which meant I was slacking off on sport, but that's okay.

How about you?

Pretty good. :0 Still at work right now. But the weekend is almost here, and I have a long vacation coming up with Thanksgiving that I'm looking forward to.

Oh that sounds nice m.m Are you doing anything special, or just relaxing?

Well, I'll be spending Thursday through Sunday with family, then relaxing at my place for Monday and Tuesday.

Good plan^^
I'll be visiting my grandparents next week, so I have a few days off as well

That's nice. :0 Do you guys have a Thanksgiving? I know Canada does a month earlier, but I think we're the only two.

Yes and no : o

We have Erntedankfest, which is a religious holiday celebrated on the first sunday of October. Whereas Thanksgiving is a secular holiday (I hope that's the right word) if I remember correctly.

The historical background of why it is celebrated is very similar...giving thanks for the harvest of year etc.

Secular is the right word, yes. :0 Although Thanksgiving being secular is debatable. If you're religious and hold to the holiday's origin as a day in which the Pilgrims gave thanks to God for their first harvest in the New World, then it's a religious holiday. But it's not really treated as such by most people nowadays.

Interesting to hear that there is a European (or German, at least) parallel though. :0

Right : o I guess it has been really commercialized.

Yeah, as far as I know, it's mainly Germany and Austria, however there may be equivalent days in the other European countries that I'm not aware of since Christianity is not country based XD


Edit: posted.

Thanks. :0

I think the part with Maxim and Kurik is about wrapped up...or is there anything important they still need to do?

No, I think that's it. :0
