- Well Yuletide is an old word for Christmas, so Erastide sounds more like
- Xmas than easter...
-
- besides, Erastide was the day the Gods created the world: a celebratory
- time like Xmas, not the anniversary of Christ's death (I wonder if Torak's
- death becomes a holiday... all bye the bye, of course..)
-
- finally, everyone gets presents on Erastide. So it's got to be the
- Belgaraid version of Christmas.
