"It's Christmas again!

"... didn't you just have a Christmas date with me and Lil?

"Wahoo, is that right? Anyway, I'll teach you about Norwegian Christmas today!

"Oh, I want to hear it!

Lil is supposed to be from Norway on Earth. In the first place, it was supposed to exist on Earth from the beginning.

... I can't think of Lil's blue-white hair and white skin a bit on Earth because of how many Norwegian people he is, but he seems to recognize that kind of mutation in his body. Anything.

Lil started explaining it to me in Norinoli.

"The difference between Norwegian and Japanese Christmas... well, the roughest part is similar, but I guess the most exciting way"

"I think Japanese's are a lot more exciting...?

"But it's not a comparison. You know, Japanese shops, Christmas season starts around the end of November, right?

"Oh, there you go. There you go. You start Christmas services, you get illuminations."

"This is from the end of October."

I see, isn't it sensibly a month or so different?

Indeed, it is further north than Japan, and events related to snow may be flourishing.

"Christmas is probably the biggest event, Norway is. On the contrary, we can say that Japan has many events."

"Oh, that's a lot."

"And the biggest difference is that we don't all work for Christmas!

Don't you want to work?

"On the contrary, come here. I'm surprised on Earth. Everybody's working. All at non-Christmas events... Even the most important New Year's Eve in Japan."

According to Lil's story, Christmas Day seems to be a day spent with his family, and he doesn't eat out first, and the store doesn't do it anywhere (with exceptions, of course). Do you remember Lil also playing gift exchanges and games with the other kids at the orphanage over there?

It's hard to believe that there hasn't been a single store in Japan. Including New Year's Eve.

"So you don't think I'm gonna enjoy eating out at Christmas?

I don't think so.

Really?

You're not like this one... well, unlike Japan, I don't think there are many Christmas solitary guys.

"When we talk about details, there's a Christmas city called Drawback all year round."

"Well, that's funny"

"And Christmas we call it the Eur. It's a winter solstice festival, not Christianity or celebrating Santa! They merged with Christmas when Christianity came in."

"I see, Christmas as a Winter Solstice Festival...... do you do the EUR"

"It is.... Oh, I forgot one big difference."

Is there still a big difference?

Interesting...... I knew intercultural interaction. He said the rough part looks alike, but it's starting to look completely different.

"Wahun. Santa, are you there?

"Don't be."

"In Norway, I say Eurenisse, not Santa. Besides, you're not a grandfather, you're a dwarf, you leave your present on Yur's pillow."

"Heh, you're a dwarf!

"Yeah. Santa's alone, but there's plenty of dwarves, so we can share the labor. There are many parts of you that are most impressed by Santa worldwide."

Sure, it might be a little easier to hand out presents, if you're a dwarf with a lot of them... no, I wouldn't be kidding if I told you that dwarves would be fantastic in the first place too.

"Wahoo, uh... yes, a Christmas treat! Depending on the region, there's a lot of pork, not chicken where I was."

"Heh."

"Pork ribs and stuff are delicious. I like beef most of all, not pigs, not birds."

He explained everything afterwards.

I don't know if I can think of it as another slightly different event from Japan....... one of these days Lil and I are going home to Norway for a date...... not bad.

If I had time, I would.

"Well, let's have a great Christmas!

"Even so, it's a regular Japanese-style Christmas"

"That's okay... for me, anything with the show is fine!... Oh, I was hoping for a Christmas present!

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

The date was over and for some reason Lil, who had returned one foot ahead, was called to his room with a message.

There's one big box there enough for one person to get in.

The note on the little table says, 'It's a gift for the show! With Love, From Lil ♡'.

... Well, the box just moved a little.

I know what's in it.

Heh, I don't have a choice. Do you want me to open it?

I wonder how she's so cute. Lil.

Merry Christmas.

It's here again this year, Christmas.

I just want to say this is the second time that a level maker is celebrating Christmas...... but this is the third time for some sites.

We have Christmas illustrations again this year Yikes!

Of course it's me, yes (', ω, …)

Then go ahead

Thank you for requesting this Christmas illustration!

What do you think?

Lil drew it for the first time.

Is it going well?

Have a good Christmas, then.

By the way, if you want to see previous Christmas stories and illustrations, let's look at the next story in Episode 416.
