I'm waiting for real Christmas, thanks. It just doesn't feel the same to set your clock ahead.
My point exactly. Though I would have you note that Chirstmas does not have the same significance for the DGs as it does for the rest of you. You see, one Christmas, Dr. S returned to the office after much drinking. He started playing with the code, but accidently left off a semi-colon in a very important block. This caused the rendering engine to barf, and the atmosphere was filled with pseudo-souls that fell to the ground, as in Reciever. The pseudo-souls covered the ground, looking much like snow. The Darwinians saw this as a bad omen -- a sign that the Soul Repository had broken, and was no longer processing souls. All of the then living Darwinians felt great tribulation at their impending doom. Among the Darwinians that survive from that day, the red hat with the white tassle is an important symbol -- the red represents the color of a real soul, and dominates the hat. It is an image of life. However, the white tassle represents the fake souls, and can be seen as an image of death -- not just death with reincarnation, but permanent death.
Interestingly enough, Dr. S fixed the code, and nothing really bad every happened, but this -- not the Soul Destroyers -- was the first taste of ever lasting death that the Darwinians ever had. It was a very important formative experience in the history of Darwinia.
