HOLIDAYS AS THEY RELATE TO MY CHARACTERS Are there holidays in Mona’s Realm? Holidays are completely different in Mona Bendarova’s world. Introduced in ‘The Taste of Honey’, Mona’s community comes together for monthly and quarterly celebrations. There are no holidays per se commemorating people, specific events or beliefs.
