Firefly canon?

Do we know if the Firefly characters (not just the crew of Serenity, but the whole 'verse) celebrate Christmas or some other winter holiday? I know they seem to celebrate birthdays...

Pretty sure it never got mentioned. Book and the other Shepherds might but I imagine the difficulty of keeping track of one date on planets with different length years...

Yes, good point! :-) And the winter solstice isn't particularly meaningful if you are on one planet with winter one day and a different one where it's summer three days later...

I'd imagine the Alliance has a single standard calendar; individual planets may have their own, too, but it'd seem important to be able to do business using readily agreed upon dates.

That's probably true, too. It's very complicated!

There is Unification day, which might suggest an Alliance standard calender.

Oh yes, thank you. :-)
