With all the preparation for the upcoming holidays, it dawned on me that my fictional worlds needed some holidays too. Obviously they'd have some. Even the most primitive cultures would probably celebrate the changing of the seasons or astrological events or such. Then you've got independence revels, fetes to pay homage to a sovereign, maybe something to honor a particularly critical export or resource that sustains life on a remote planet, heck, even simple market days.
My cultures need some, er, culture. Yeah. :)
Are you guys way ahead of me? Have you already incorporated this kind of stuff in your novels? Have you come up with a holiday that you're particularly proud of?
Good luck in your own personal holiday prep, and best wishes to your fictional characters. I hope they have some fun holidays to stress over enjoy also! Have a great weekend.
The Wookiees had "Life Day", as seen in the "Star Wars Holiday Special". Woot!
ReplyDeleteYep! Good example. :) Personally, I'm going to declare a holiday if our youngest lets us sleep until 6 am one day. That's completely worthy of a celebration!
