Life Day and other celebrations

[virtualvoyages]

Do you have any headcanons about it? Do your characters celebrate it? Do you think the Empire has a gift giving holiday? Other planetary holidays? What might a Hutt celebrate? (Do we want to know?)

My headcanon for Sithmas (which may or may not coincide with Life Day, and prooobably has another official name) is that it's the only day of the year when Sith stay home. Traditionally-minded ones are supposed to not see anyone except close family and servants; the younger or more gauche ones tend to join the rest of Imperials in disguise (or "in disguise") so they can share in the partying.

It's 63 years since any Sith was assassinated on Sithmas. Doing so is social and quite probably literal suicide; some very powerful Sith are VERY protective of their one real day off.

Even Sith need a day off!

Yup! Plus I always giggle at the thought of the various senior Sith vegging out on their couches, wearing their tattiest old robes, catching up on the latest bootleg Republic soap.

(Marr always goes out partying. It's not like anyone is going to recognize him without the mask and armor.)

Oh, yeah. The fic or roleplay possibilities are awesome. Whether it's young Sith out on the town doing a good (or terrible) job of blending in, or Sith hanging out at home with their families like anyone else.

(Darth Marr is practically a cryptid. For all anyone knows, he could be five loth cats in a suit of armor!)

(He's insulted at the idea. It'd take at least seven loth cats to fill out that armor!)
