Hello Christmas

[abugslife]

[Over the last few days, people who engage in various holiday-related activities might notice that they are being watched by a Gebian. He looks exactly the same as most of his kin, but he seems to react in a somewhat abashed manner when you spot him. And...]

Hello, I am Pentu. Do not mind me; I am here merely to research Earth holidays such as Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa. Would you mind answering a few questions?

[He talks! The voice is kinda insectoid and awkward, like how a cute bug would talk on a kid's cartoon, but still. What exactly were you doing that grabbed his interest? Maybe you knew in advance about him and it's a planned endeavour, even.]

Of course! I'm currently doing a very venerable earth christmas tradition. Watching christmas movie! Do you want to join me?

That would depend on the length of the movie. I am afraid I have something important to do in six hours.

Oh, where are you going? Don't worry, this movie is way shorter than that. This is my favourite holiday movie of all time. It's about hope, family, spirit, and human ingenuity.

It's called Home Alone.

That is when my computer finishes the analysis of weather on the whole planet.

The movie sounds like it touches upon very important themes. Is it customary to watch it on this day? Is it an ancient custom?
