Playeroid holidays are great little festivals for marking arbitrary passages of time. Soooo, let's talk about and celebrate 'em!
Birthdays? Ceremonial days? Seasonal festivals? Celebrations of hallowed figures? Just have some fun and celebrate already.

alphaNumeric, that's actually rude to ask! gentlemanMannerist has gone on record as saying that the passage of her years matters little, except for marking the intervals of time until she next has to visit Miss Taylor for a fresh suit.
A holiday I have always personally loved is Halloween! Back in my native presession I thoroughly enjoyed making candy from scratch for the trick-or-treating neighbor children, and I was well loved for it!
Hah, I can't imagine how one would trick-or-treat in Sburb, however. I suppose technically you could hand costumes and candy out to the consorts but they wouldn't actually ask for it like one would expect of a proper trick-or-treater. They'd wear the costumes, I believe! Incorrectly, most likely, even if you tried to tailor it specifically for their adorable little forms. I tried to make little witch costumes for my iguanas a few sessions ago, measured the default size consorts and produced a couple dozen costumes, but they all ended up using the robes as scarves and the hats as bowls for water! :0
And they also wouldn't eat the candy! And Prospit and Derse both have laws that prevent mass player distribution of goods. The Regulators will be on your case, either moon. I don't know, it just seems difficult to capture the spirit of Halloween in this game!

A holiday I have always personally loved is Halloween! damn, didn't see that coming I've always loved Christmas, or as I'm gonna call it from now on, Gristmas. everyone wearing festive sweaters and outfits, exchanging alchemized tokens of friendship, hot cocoa and cuddling in front of a fire seems like it would be a great respite from the game.

damn, didn't see that coming Ha ha ha, very funny Mister! :0
But yes, Gristmas is a proper tradition among most Replayers who aren't humbugs! (Note, I did not mean to offend anyone if they have their own reasons for disliking the holiday seasons.)
It's one of the holidays that translates almost perfectly between all the cultures that play Sburb. Even without a winter-modified Land snow is easy and cheap to alchemize in bulk and has plenty of easily useable recipes, some of which can even be fully refunded if you include enough Might contamination! Plenty of recipes abound for traditional Gristmas fare, I'm honestly partial to Alternian musclebeast roasts myself, they're like especially rich and slightly citrus-y hams. And I love the gift sharing, gift exchanging and opening on Gristmas 'morning' is one of the rare times when psybuffs don't seem to be necessary to keep a team cohesive! It's just so... peaceful, really. Like the Christmas of my childhood.

back on earth, we had unification day on may 12, which was the day that the god-queens would always do their parades and shit. i remember it always being really hit and miss, because sometimes everyone would come back really happy because they successfully ruined the parade by jacking the broadcast or something in our local, or we had to evacuate the commune again because they wanted to make an example of the rebels in celebration of the day or something so that they could show it on the viewscreens.
on the first may 12 in the medium I was expecting stuff to happen all day, just like instinctively. nothing ended up happening of course, but i did end up sharing some bad wine with my coworkers because that always reminded me of the good days back home because if everything we went we'd always crack open some vintage caskets saved for a special occasion and sis would always let me have a glass. wine tasted awful at the time because what kid actually likes wine but its a good memory you know?
