Snowspark sat curling his tail around his paws as he bagan to explain, "During the Cold no-rain season, since the days are cooler and the nights are very cold, the cats of both clans split their days in two! Waking before the sun has set, napping in the middle of the night and sleeping later as well
BUT quite often this nap time, is used to go out and gather any festive gifts that would be better kept a surprise, then on the 2nd rain after the coldest day, we all exchange the gifts! They can be anything from someone's favourite prey, to some pretty berries or rocks, anything that you think a cat may like!" He purred, thinking about the gifts that he had received last year.

The clan seemed very happy today. Cats were relaxing and eating food with each other but there was a pile in the center of the clearing with untouched food.

“Now that is the special feast pile! Throughout the moon we begin to donate prey here so that once it’s time, we can have a grand feast together with no limitations to how much you eat! We share stories about the stars and events that happened that year and silly stories as well as many other stories!”

Off she went again to the next area of camp. A place full of worn down socks. “This is where we gather gifts for each other and place them each in our personal socks. Anytime throughout the moon you can put something in or by the sock and after the feast we open them!”

She went on and on about all the traditions they had. They all were centered around the clan and family and appreciating the life they were given in the forest. It seemed very sweet. Oh what a wonderful time it was.

The clans main holiday during the coldest season was something they called "The winter gettogether" it was mainly a coming together of the nearby clans to share food and treats. It was a simple holiday, something that became a tradition after the second time Feyclan had welcomed another into their home during a harsh winter. Other than that holidays and traditions aren't usually celebrated. Only namedays and the first day of spring are ever acknowledged and even then theres no festivities. Something about huddling together with friends both old and new during the cold weather was nice, and a comfort for most during hard times.

and she was radiant… like daylight and its ravishing majesty as the stranger wandered, their dainty footsteps adorned with the charming essence of enchantment and midnight alike.
and she was dazzling… dancing with an aura of alluring mystery and the flutter of an enigma that would forever take an eternity to solve.

"hello?" tentative, the onyx ribbons of the dark parted to unveil his petite frame. "are you lost?"

her laugh was like a lilting, songbird's chastening. "why, young sir… what makes you think that?

a nervous chuckle bloomed upon his lips. "it's… well- i just have never seen you around… that's all."

her mysterious allure didn't falter even as she sauntered a little ways closer. "i'm just on an adventure… that's all."

"an adventure?

"yes… an adventure." and her features fathomed of enchantment and magic wavered, falling into a bittersweet nuance.

"it's a pretty chilly out here… would you like to join us for a little celebration?"

"us?"

and beneath the halo of stars over the crowns of their heads, the celebrations unfurled like budding bluebells and daffodils. like soon to be lovebirds beneath a mistletoe tree.

the two went on to participate in these winter celebrations. these include a sweet treat buffet, all-you-can-eat soup station and last but not least, a bouquet to celebrate the year!

although a bit taken aback at first, tigermist was eager to share her holiday experiences with the stranger! the festivities and celebrations in the wintertime had always been something that she looked forward to, even with the bitter cold that the season brought. she spoke for hours about valleyclan's holiday traditions, describing everything from the festive decorations hung around camp to the gifts that the cats would exchange with one another. even when the cold weather became unbearable, they'd celebrate from the safety and warmth of their dens. tigermist was quick to answer any questions that the stranger may have, glad that she was able to share her clan's holidays with an outsider.

↬ prompt: ''So? What's the holidays?'' The cat tilts his head, curious.

There's a soft yawn, '' We don't have to do anything, absolutely nothing! '' Kestrelswoop rests his head against the dirt, '' I remember last year…'' He grasps a little note between his teeth, ''But we still have too many things before our break,'' He points towards the writing… messy on the crumpled paper.

''So…'' The cat frowns, ''If that's it then, I don't think I…''

Kestrelswoop pauses, '' Although… there's always a chance there's unexpected surprises, but that's rare… very rare… At least that's what I heard… This is one of my first winter holidays!'' A grin stretches wide across his lips, ''I'm not that old…. Yet!''

The cat groans, '' I think I'll ask someone… older than you to see what this is about.''

Kestrelswoop cast an uneasy glance, ''I think I'll come too... just for safety protocol..."'

As per usual, one of the bards is alerted and soon enough they're giving a full tour of the place.. it looks like Sunnyside was tasked with this duty, the golden bard will have their paws busy today! Sunnyside makes sure to tell them all about the castle traditions, as well as her old celebrations back at the town. He has tons of stories to tell and teach!

”you’re kidding right?!” squawked rock where eagle perches, gazing at the strange guest before her “oh my star runners, now you just have to know!!” She patted her paws in the dirt in an excitable stim before hopping up and motioning for the guest to follow her.

eagle went on to describe their traditions of bringing each other a piece of prey and something special the find, whether that be a simple rock or a more flamboyant item that was left behind long ago by a (human), then they gather under the stars in a big pile of fur and paws and claws to keep warm and await the first falling of snow (and likely the last) for that season. And when the silvery moons hits its peak on the sky, all the cats separate and offer up their wishes and dreams and hopes and of bringing about a prosperous year for the next generation of cats that are born into and join with the tribe
