Would more people or less observe them? If more observed would it be out of a sense of obligation, or in gratitude? What benefits would be bestowed for observation. What penalties for non-observation. Could one 'make up' a missed festival, or would it have to wait for next year. What would change if the Winter King himself could lead the festivities in person? The May Queen?How would a Day of the Dead be observed if you knew the deceased had survived death and gone on to a better place. What if they could return that one day and interact with you?[sidebar]The Quang turned to worshipping gods instead of ancestors because their ancestors were becoming a dreadful nuisance. With all the nagging, complaints, and arguing nothing was getting done. Naturally the 'dearly departed' were adamantly against it, until they learned they'd be housed in a paradise specially built for them. They conveniently overlooked the fact they wouldn't be allowed to leave this paradise for any reason.[/sidebar]</blockquote>
