Prompt 12First day of Hanukkah! Do any of your kalons celebrate it? Do they see christmas itself as a religious festival?Dante - Dante doesn't celebrate the holiday, but he has friends who do. He still doesn't really understand it, but he tries to be supportive, and happy for them. As for Christmas he grew up with a religious mom, and as a result does associate the holiday with religion. Mostly that ends at going to church more and talking about Jesus a lot, though.
Tilly - Tilly doesn't celebrate Hanukkah herself, though she has family that does, and is perfectly happy to visit and celebrate with them. She doesn't tend to put too much of a focus on religion in general, and that extends through the holidays. She mostly sees it as a time of year to be extra generous, enjoy the atmosphere, and have fun.
Sauin - Sauin is a massive holiday buff, and while he doesn't personally celebrate Hanukkah he has studied it fairly extensively, and tends to be a go-to on decorations for it with richer families because of his respect for the holiday, and attention to detail. He also acknowledges the religious components that help make Christmas what it is today, but doesn't see it as a religious holiday in and of itself. There are simply too many scattered sources for the traditions to treat it as such in his eyes. He does celebrate it to a massive extent though, often going to extremes to decorate, and celebrate in as many ways as he can.
