December 10: Happy Life Day

But what if your setting doesn’t have Christmas?

10: Happy Life Day
“You mean Exmas?”

So you have a setting with no direct connection to our last two thousand years of history, like a fantasy world, but want to do a festive special anyway. What to do?

You could look at related real festivals like winter solstice celebrations for inspiration, run with the satire, or play with one of the stories or other ideas connected to Christmas but not really part of the setup, like A Christmas Carol or “It’s A Wonderful Life”. The player characters could be visited by ghosts, or be the ones setting someone else up for an apparent visitation.

You could likewise have a festive session for a fictional event at any time. When and how does the Reikland celebrate Sigmar’s birth? How does the New Republic mark the fall of the Emperor?
