>>38174495There's a difference though, we didn't completely lose all historical reference from back when christmas was "invented". We still remember the real themes, real reasons and how some celebrations were usurped for christmas to make sense.
G5 literally remembers nothing from the "old times", to the point of anything old-equestria related being a highly obscure archeological topic, forgotten and unknown by all but the 2 or 3 ponies that dabble in archaeology (Sunny's family).
There's a literal disconnect between old culture and "modern" culture in G5's universe, so next to no cultural event/tradition would survive.
Do you know about ANY celebration/tradition that the Carthaginians performed? You probably don't, so you coming outta nowhere and suddenly performing them exactly like back then would be a complete non-sequitur.
I do like G5, but even you gotta recognize that the last seasons of G4 and the G5 movie could've been far better if they had considered their shit better.
I ain't even mad about giraffetwilight, ponk having a kid or anything else, but I do feel like S8-S9 were rushed and written very poorly.
The most likely outcome is
>>38174500, that is, assuming they take the time to "deform" the traditions like time would a real one.
