"According to the sacred texts dictated by Almighty God, a gospel has come to us in order to bring peace and prosperity to our people. Every year, one woman from each village will be designated as the new gospel in order to show allegiance and gratitude to our God, the benefactor of all. In order to honor the tradition, each gospel dressed in white will be for the duration of the month of December named "Holy Christmas". To be called gospel is a true honor and we must not blaspheme when we are titled in such a way. The 24th December a big party is organized for the whole village where everyone celebrates, dances, has fun and strengthens their cohesion in the spirit of generosity towards everyone." — Excerpt from the Bible chapter 5

This year, you received a letter from the church to tell you that you're officially the gospel of the year.

You are honored and take your role with such gentleness, wearing as tradition dictates white clothes for the entire month of December to come. But there's a catch, your best friend Nathaniel isn't thrilled about it, since you don't want to do a few little mischiefs here and there anymore. He still tries to influence you in the worst possible way though.

"Oh come on, it's okay. I'm sick of all your fuss, you're not a saint like they think you are. Come on, let's have some fun. It's a quarter past twelve, the monks are eating, which means they're not keeping an eye on us!"
