As Lorelai’s students entered the classroom, they were greeted by the aroma of a pumpkin scented candle. There were bowls of candy placed around the room and Lorelai had hung fake spider webs around the room.

Once everyone had arrived and was seated, Lorelai grinned.

“Today we’re going to start learning about traditional American holidays,” she said. “I’m sure you’ve all noticed my decorations. We’re only about a month away from celebrating Halloween.” She went on to give a short lecture on the origins of Halloween and the modern celebrations of said holiday.

“Of course, after Halloween, we only have a few weeks before the winter holiday bonanza,” Lorelai continued, passing out a handout with information about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years as she discussed the various holidays.

“Any questions?”

Luke bounced a little on his toes. "That would be great!" he said. "Bel didn't really understand the appeal either."

"Well, I'm not entirely sure that you'll understand even after you try them," Lorelai admitted. "Advertising here likes to exaggerate things. I should probably try to work that into the syllabus somehow."

Luke grinned. "They do that back home, too," he said. "It's just that I'm not familiar with the specific products here. I mean, I know that Jawa Juice isn't going to actually help me get a Rodian to dance for me. I just need to figure out the local equivalents."

"It's nice to know some things are constant in the universe," Lorelai chuckled.

"A lot more than you'd think," Luke agreed. "Thanks again, Ms. Gilmore-Danes!"
