[The raccoons are waiting in the auditorium, dressed as precious little cupids, which is to say they have plastic wings and underwear (bloomers and boxers respectively) on, though admittedly their choices of "cupid's arrows" is a little suspect.]

CONGRATULATIONS MURDERFIENDS! YOU CHOSE RIGHT!

...What countries are these holidays from?

[She's watched as well, lifting her head once the man was on the stage. The happiness of eating fresh fish gone, she's back to moping.]

Weihnachten-- ah, that's Christmas, I think is a religious holiday that's celebrated in many countries. Back in my homeland, Christmas trees were very important. I don't really know about the origins of the holiday, though.

Ostern is Easter. It's another religious holiday, too. But I can at least tell you that boiling and painting eggs did begin in Germany. Although it's not exclusive to Germany.

And then... Osamu already explained Valentinstag pretty well. So far they've all correlated to holidays that started out as religious. These three holidays are actually pretty common in a lot of countries, or so I've heard. I don't really know about origin stories or anything like that since it's not really important to me.

Judge. None of them are Shinto holidays. That would explain why I do not recognize these- versions.

[If they'd used the actual name then she might have got it.]

What is the next one?

Well, they didn't even do it in order... if it's just holidays in general, probably Halloween?

[She actually knows that one.]

The one for remembering the dead?

Mm... yeah, it's known as Samhain. It's more of a Celtic thing, the remembrance of the dead. A lot of people believe that it's also the day where demons and witches go out for night hunting. Well, I guess that could be true, anyway. The day after it is Allterheiligen, which is All Saint's Day.
