— The Incredibles
 

As the holiday season approaches, we can't help but wonder what grand celebrations bring joy to the people in your worlds. Whether it's a magical feast, an epic festival, or a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event, we want to know how your worlds come alive through their unique holidays and traditions. Let’s see how food, song, and cheer shape the cultures and histories of your creations!

So, are you up for a challenge?

 

The Prompt


Join us in celebrating the magic of your worlds!



Write about a grand celebration in your world. Who partakes in it, how is it celebrated and is it significant in any way? If so, then why? What unique traditions and vibrant customs bring it to life?

It can be any kind of celebration; religious, cultural, a special anniversary or something entirely unique to your world.

Let your imagination run wild and let us be a part of the joy and festivity that defines this jubilant occasion!
