Network- Video

[Peter is mid meal as he starts the video, and he holds up a finger while he finishes his bite, as if he's not the one who had started up the post.]

Mm- okay- first off, how cute is this?

[He spins the camera around to show May working on her own plate, more of the food making it onto her face than into her stomach. After a moment the doting father turns it back on himself, a stupidly fond grin on his face.]

Second- who here is either Jewish and/or from a multi-faith household? 'Cause I wanna get May more into Hanukkah this year, but how the heck do you compete with Santa? [There's an excited sound from off screen and Peter rolls his eyes before turning the camera back on the excited May, big blue eyes beaming into the camera, chubby little fists balled up eagerly.]

Your daddy is literally Spider-Man, how are you still so enchanted by him, huh?

Thoughts?

[Oh! Link thinks he understands, now.]

Ah. Your family has two gods? And two holidays?

[daddy_longlegs]

Same god...theoretically? Different beliefs? And yeah, two holidays. So we want May to experience both sides. But my wife's side kind of has an unfair advantage since you can't take a step outside past Thanksgiving without being smacked in the face with Christmas.

[newmemorywhodis]

...The same but different?

[Why would you have the same god with different beliefs, this makes no sense to Link]

And Christmas has...Santa?

[daddy_longlegs]

It's complicated. And pretty messy. But yeah?

And yeah. Santa brings kids presents or whatever on Christmas. Big and fat and jolly.

[newmemorywhodis]

...Yes.

[Link certainly finds it pretty complicated. And confusing.]

Santa is a spirit?

[daddy_longlegs]

I guess that'd be one of describing him? Sure.

[newmemorywhodis]

Is there a Hannukah spirit?

[daddy_longlegs]

Nnnnnnot really. No. There's...candles. We light candles. And- I'm not explaining this well- but...no. No mascot.

[newmemorywhodis]

Maybe you need one.

A better spirit.

[daddy_longlegs]

Hmmm....maybe. You might be onto something...

[Link just makes a soft noise of encouragement. Link believes in you, Peter! Hanukkah can win!]
