Christmas
Everyone has returned back to where Domini and Servus were. Everyone was looking at the ditey and his servant. He looked at his audience. He then began to speak.
"Everyone, welcome back. It is time for you to experience a holiday" he said
"A Holiday? Which Holiday are you referring to?" Asami asked
"Christmas. I assure you remembered from the last video I mention?" he asked
"Yeah, that holiday is something that I'm interested in" Korra said
"Not only, do you get to experience what it's like to be at Christmas? We will have a Christmas feast and then we pass out presents. Before we do any of that, I would like to tell you the origins of Christmas.
"Alright, A history on Christmas," Bolin said
"So Christmas originated as a Pagan and Roman holiday. It was in the month of December, and they would honor their God Saturn. They would go out and party. THey would light up bonfires, and candles to keep the darkness a bay since it was the darkest days of the year. Parties were raucous and drunken." Domini said
"Raucous and Drunk? Now that is a party worth celebrating" Korra smirked
"Pagan Cultures would also get a dead tree and decorate their homes with greens in anticipation that Spring is coming. They would choose evergreen trees because they remind green during the coldest days."
"I think the water tribe dose something similar to that" Korra said
"People would also bring gifts to each other. To show kindness and giving they are" Domini said
"Gifts? Now I would love to celebrate this holiday" Aang said
"But gift-giving is not the true meaning of Christmas" Servus said
"So what is the true meaning of Christmas" Kuvira asked
"It really depends on how you view the world," Domini said "Remember, some people in the world don't believe in any diving being and some do. So if you were Christian, you would believe that The true meaning of Christmas is when you celebrate the birth of their savior. While if you were to view it in a Secular view, then, it's about being thoughtful, kind, giving and joy"
"That sounds very heartwarming," Asami said
"Very, it's celebrated on Earth. Combine Secular and Christianity views, about 76.2% of the world celebrates Christmas world wide"
Everyone gasped in surprised
"So it's almost universal!" Wu said
Yeah, but as of modern standards to the Terrans, Christmas is just a holiday where people buy gifts for their loved ones and enjoy a mass amount of food," Domini said
"But still, I would love to experience this" Korra said
"Well, that just gets us to this next case. It is time for a Christmas Dinner" Domini said as he poofed up a table with fancy chairs, table, and such.
Domini and Servus poofed themselves to human size and walked over to sit down. As they sat down, chefs in white came through the door and began putting all the dishes into the table and opening them. Bolin, Meelo, Korra, Wu, and Sokka were amazed at how it smelled. Their mouth was watering.
"That is a lot of food to eat," Tenzin said "Do you have anything that is not meat?"
"We sure do, in fact, the vegetables are coming out right now"
The Chefs showed the vegetables such as mashed potatoes, Pumpkin pie, etc. Korra noticed the dish in the middle. It looked like a large chicken, but Korra was curious.
"Domini what is this thing in the middle," she asked
"That is called a Turkey. It's a type of bird that is the main course of each Christmas holiday. It's really delicious" Domini said
After all the dishes has been placed the chefs left the room. The Servus said. "Alright Everyone Dig in," he said
Everyone began to grab food from the table. They curiously looked at the food trying to see which one is good-looking. Everyone seems to grab Turkey except for Tenzin, and some others who are vegetarians. After that everyone began eating the food they were given. Everyone loved it. Especially the food lovers.
"This is delicious" Lin said
"I agree," Kya said
"So you guys, i take you are enjoying the food?" Servus asked
"Yes we are" Everyone said
"Well it just so happens there are more videos for you to see while you enjoy your food" Domini said as he grabbed a remote/
"What are we going to watch?" Jinora asked
"Do you remember World War 1?" Domini asked
"oh yeah, that Great War. What about it" Lin asked
"There was this thing called the Christmas Truce. This event occured in Christmas Day. When two enemies were fighting against each other. When they realized it was Christmas, they decided not to fight."
"What?" Everyone shouted
"That is.......so unexpected" Bolin said
"Well watch this" Domini said as he pressed a button on a remote. It began to show
https://youtu.be/6KHoVBK2EVE
Everyone was watching the video. It showed the soldiers were getting gifts for Christmas. After that, they heard people singing. The next morning it showed the British walking over with their hands raised. Then everyone began to walk toward each other and greet each other. Everyone was just shocked to see what they are doing. Something like this could never happen in their world. Especially if this were to happen in the 100-year war.
"What!" Korra said
"That's is so unexpected!" Bolin said
"You could never find something like this in our world," Tenzin said
"Especially in their world," Aang said
"Either way, this is just so beautiful. Both opposing teams were getting along like they are just good friends now"
The next scene showed them playing ball. They were cheering and that was until they hear the sounds of gunfire. They said their goodbyes and headed back to work. The final message said
"Christmas is for Sharing"
Then it faded into black. Some of them were tearing up after seeing this heartwarming message of Christmas. If the power of Christmas could truly stop a temporary battle, then if it was powerful enough, could it stop a war?
"That is so heartwarming and amazing," Asami said
"I wish something like this happened in our world" Suyin said
"Now that would be nice, if this Christmas holiday can actually temporarily battle, then I would love to celebrate this holiday. In fact, I would love to adopt it to our society" Kya
"I would totally agree," Pema said
"If I was in power, I would totally adopt this holiday," Wu said
"It's too bad this Truce didn't end the war," Opal said
After watching the video, they continued to eat the food. Domini tried to find another video to watch.
"oh yeah, Christmas also has a mascot that kids believe in" Servus said
"A Mascot? Who?" Meelo asked
"Santa Claus," he said
"Santa Claus?" Korra asked as she narrowed her eyes.
"Why yes, he is basically the man who delivers presents to kids during the Christmas holiday. He is described as a Jolly Old Man, with a white beard and he is overweight." He said as he showed a picture of Santa.
"So that is Santa Claus," Jinora said
"He's the one who sneaks into your home at night and drops off gifts under your tree," Tenzin said
"Where does Santa Claus live," Ikki asked
"The North Pole," Servus said
"Ohohoh! Korra you from the North Pole!! Did you see Santa?!!!" Meelo asked
Korra chuckled "No Meelo, I'm from the South Pole. And Santa doesn't live in our world"
"Ohh," Meelo said disappoint
"So his job is to give people gifts for Christmas. But there is a catch. If they have been good, then they will get gifts. If they had been bad this year, they will get nothing but a lump of coal." Domini said
"Ouch!" Kuvira said
"But since we're going to experience Christmas, what would you guys like for Christmas?" Domini asked
"hehe, I thought so, let's skip that part and let's move on to watching some Christmas movie Domini said
"ooooh a movie" Bolin said
"This move is called A wonderful life," Domini said
"What's it about?" Opal asked
"It's about this guy named George Bailey, basically he gave up his personal dream in order to help others in his community, and also thought of killing himself. That was until his guardian angel Clarence who trying to get sense into him."
"Now that is a movie I would want to see," Bolin said
"Alright let's watch it"
The Movie would only last about 2 hours long. Everyone watched in silence. Seeing the great quality of the storyline. They would eventually lead to the end of the movie. In the ending, it showed George crying saying he wants his life back. Allowing that wish, Clearance granted his wish and he was back in his reality. Where a police officer went looking for him and George was hugging him seeing that he is back to his reality. Then it showed him running around town shouting merry Christmas. He then went back home to reunite with his family. Finally, many people came to his home to celebrate the holiday. Everyone loved that movie.
"This is an amazing show," Bolin said
"Oh yes, this is a classic movie created in the year 1946. It happened after World War II." Servus said
"I have to admit, this movie is a lot better than the ones we have. I might learn something from this" Varrick said
"Of course, maybe in the future, I can send you some movies to watch and you can get some inspiration from filmmaking," Domini said
"Sounds amazing"
"ok, so here is another question for you guys. Since we are celebrating Christmas here, what do you want for Christmas?" Domini asked
"Well I certainly know what I want," Korra said
"ok, tell me"
