Cool Respite

Everyone needs a break once in a while, and during Cool Respite, we go all-out. Making the best of what surplus supplies are available, communities pool together cold treats, refreshments, and ice. Spraying water into the air, swimming in small reservoirs, indulging in frozen confections mark some popular pastimes on this holiday.
Knowing the summer will be long and arduous, care is exercised when spending water reserves. Many celebrations proved disastrous when overindulgence is allowed. Therefore, an alternate theme exercised by the more elder of the celebrants is prudence.
