I definitely love the idea of the Sofians having piles and piles of holidays and feasts and everything - it definitely fits with the plush and cushy life they're handed. I can also there perhaps being sort of a tiny cultural backlash against it, rather like we have the "put Christ back in Christmas" stuff, there's gotta be someone wringing his hands over the holidays being meant to be about being thankful for the bounty, rather than pigging out and getting drunk.

Not that I think anybody really listens.
