On the subject of waiting, I think there is a story from my world you might enjoy.
The Psy once tried to ban Christmas. Rather, they succeeded legally. In an ironic twist of fate, Law 5198 passed in my world's 2019.
Unfortunately for the Psy, they forgot to factor the other races into the equation. The Changelings and Humans simply renamed the holiday the Day of Happiness and continued as if nothing had happened. In the end, only the Psy lost, as businesses were no longer allowed to contribute to selling wares for the holiday.
It was repealed quietly in 2021, though some Changelings and Humans occasionally refer to the holiday as the Day of Happiness.
[Mostly to piss off the Psy, who so openly reject emotion. Judd certainly can't fault them.]
Brenna's fond of the classics. We tend to watch those over the holidays.
My niece and nephew are fans of newer cartoons, like the one where Santa's daughter suddenly inherits the family business and has no idea what she's doing and the local Changeling reindeer clan pitches in to help her.
My world is vastly different than this one. Yes, I am "from the future", but most of what is important history to me has never occurred here, I can't even begin to guess this world's future.
Our cars don't fly, they utilize maglev strips in the road or in a changeling's territory. It's easier on the environment. Though most cars have retractable wheels for those who prefer it the old-fashioned way. They're also mostly autonomous, though again there is the option for manual driving.

That kind of sounds like some movies I've watched when I was younger. Like the Grinch. Do you know it?

And yes, Brenna has shown me that one. Unfortunately, the Psy's hearts did not grow 3 sizes too big. Their wallets simply grew 3 sizes too small.

There are other Christmas movies though. Are there any others you like?

[ Makes sense. He figures that's the case for most people, but he couldn't help but to wonder if the history of their worlds was similar at all. ]
Do you guys have robots and flying cars and stuff?
no subject
We do not have robots. There's no need for them.

Really should have robots, though.

And why's that?
