Sliding Down the Tightest Chimney, pt 1
Christmas in the dorm? Yakyakistan is so far away, and Hearth's Warming isn't very big there like it is in Equestria, so Yona is staying put until closer to New Year's. Plus, she has a very special present for her boyfriend Sandbar...
Janim (Жаным): Kazakh/Kipchak endearment meaning something like 'sweetheart'. The Yaks are depicted as being Central Asian, but without an attempt at differentiating between Mongol and Turkic; I decided to go with the latter. As the Central Asian Republics are largely Muslim and spent most of the 20th century under the secular USSR, Christmas is largely ignored in favor of New Year's; to a much lesser extent this is even true in Christian Russia.
And so we see what so interested Yona when Silverstream dragged her to the stand to see Junebug.
