Christmas

Christmas a holiday celebrated in Sonic X Zone and possibly on Mobius Prime during the period that it was reset by the second Genesis Wave.

The most common tradition associated with Christmas is the idea that a fat, bearded man in a red suit named Santa Claus, who lives at a toy workshop in the North Pole, rides around the world on Christmas Eve to deliver gifts to children.

In the Sonic X zone, Sonic was initially disbelieving that a single man could perform such an impossible feat, questioning Chris Thorndyke's belief that he was a real person. Dr. Eggman used the concept of Santa in an attempt to capture Sonic: disguised as the figure, he threatened to withhold this years presents unless the citizens of Station Square brought Sonic to him.

During the time the Prime Zone was altered by the second Genesis Wave, Dr. Eggman likened the captured Dr. Light to "Santa in a lab coat" (the Doctor's large white beard giving him a striking resemblance to the figure), implying that Christmas was celebrated on Mobius in this reality. (MM: #26)

Background Information

 * Sonic and the Knothole Freedom Fighters celebrated Christmas in StH#6, complete with a Sonic-centric retelling of the classic Christmas story "A Christmas Carol". This whole story is considered [b]non-canon[/b] by this sites canon policy for a number of reasons:
 * The story occurs during the early days of the comic where some of the canonicity is questionable.
 * The idea that a society on a distant future Earth where everything that came before had been long forgotten would celebrate such a holiday is highly unlikely.
 * The idea that Sonic would have a dream based on an old Christmas novel written in 19th century planet Earth which by this point would also be long forgotten is even less likely.
 * Sonic and other characters are seen celebrating Christmas on StH#267's "Holiday Variant" cover. Whether this means the holiday is celebrated in the Post-Super Genesis Wave Timeline is unknown.
