Ah... it is not something I had thought to mention here until now. My people are the ones who celebrate my presence after all. I simply continue. Time is irrelevant to me.

[Still he wouldn't say no to someone celebrating his technically 'first' birthday. He wouldn't impose either however.]

Prior to the festival, the city would be decorated with flags and pinwheels. Much like this fair, stalls would be set up across the city for people to sell wares, food and craft. Kites are especially popular. A competition is often held for the best one and my people spend many hours trying to perfect their own designs. I... enjoy watching them myself.

On a more personal level, many people will make wishes on this day and tie banners to tree branches or monuments in the hope that the wind will carry these messages to me. Some will offer gifts at my temple as well.

It saddens me that there are many wishes I cannot grant. However, I do my best for those who have stood by me for the past year.
