"It also meant she could start scratching her way back into solvency." -!!!!!!!

No. It didn't mean that. It didn't mean anything remotely like that. It might have meant the opposite. What the hell?

Them: but it IS a harvest festival, right?
Us: planting, actually, but that's... How much time do you have?

"Its a 3 week run of 5 explicitly named holidays. We call it 'new year' in your language, but it's our 7th month. You (Christians) have nothing like it or near it, nothing to confuse it with but also nothing to compare it to." 😬
