[ WP ] 2,000 years from now , as the world grows and changes , major religions have also evolved based on events and landscape of today . What is the `` holiday season '' like in this future ?

It's the holiday season, the time of year when people hide in the deepest darkest bunkers that they can find and wait for the new year to tell them that it's ok to come out and return to a normal life. 
 
 The whole thing starts with Thanksgiving, the last peaceful feast of the year. People sit, eat and drink and gorge themselves on a bounty, for some it'll be their last meal, for others it'll be their last hot meal until they come out of hiding over a month later. Stuffed with carbs and wine people start to lock their doors while others sharpen their weapons fore at midnight the carnage starts with the most violent day of the year. 
 
 Black Friday, the day of death. The single day of the year with the highest death count. Folks just flock into the streets to beat each other and kill one another, it's horrible, but it's only the beginning. 
 
 For the next few weeks people will assault, rob, and kill each other. They even gather at large buildings near the center of their town to engage in blood sport. These so call `` mauls'' are like tiny arenas for combat, they even have the latest weapons for you to use while there. 
 
 Christmas is when people get antsy. All of this violence and bloodshed is almost over, the poor and weak are hiding in a hole or in the mountains somewhere, but the rich are holed up in castles or out in the woods. It's become tradition to catapult burning trees over the walls, hoping to catch some unaware nobleman, or to battering ram the front gate in hopes of being able to get through and sack the castle. These `` Christmas trees'' are rarely effective, but from time to time they do get someone who's either unlucky or was VERY naughty. 
 
 Then there's New Year's Eve. True, many people die this day of the year, but really it's not as many as you'd think. But there is an absurd amount of explosions, burnings, and just general beatings. This is your last chance to fight one-on-one with someone in order to settle a dispute ( called a `` New Year's Resolution'' ). 
 
 At the stroke of midnight a ball is dropped in the center of the local maul and the fighting must stop, the clergy emerges from wherever they hid and regains control. By the sixth of January three clergy members report the tallies of who was lost the last Holiday Season, a day referred to as `` Three Kings' Day'' It's a sad time, but we must carry on in their memory. 
 
 So please, prepare yourself for this horrible time of year. And may your sword always parry and fight.
