Okay so a slightly awkward(?) general clarification given I've seen this come up twice in as many days and a couple other times since I mentioned it last month?

"Glowtide" is not the name of a specific party or set of parties at a particular location; it is the name of a holiday season. That is like one of the only things about it that I'm going to be a bit uptight about, because I don't WANT it to start feeling like it's a concept I own manifested by events I'm involved in. :)

(Each time it comes up it's like legitimately baffling to me for a moment on a personal level when someone's like "When are you doing Glowtide this year" and I"m like ???

Because everything else aside, we've been using that as the general name for the season in households around here for over half a decade now. XD

@indi Sympathies. Bandaza _is_ the name of the party, but arguably nobody would use the seasonal name because it's just "late harvest season," so the comparison probably doesn't help. =>.>=

@literorrery I wondered if you'd ended up having the same problem or not. I think it's okay, I reworded some stuff on the party questionnaires this year to hopefully make it clearer. :)
