Revision 10567473 of "Life Day" on enwiki

'''Life Day''' was the fictional [[Wookiee]] [[holiday]] celebrated by the inhabitants of [[Kashyyyk]], featured in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]''. Unlike most aspects of the normally well-crafted [[Star Wars]] Universe, Life Day is utterly expedient, inserted into the show to provide a very basic goal for the heroes, and lend a bit of topical relevance to the material, which would otherwise be completely inappropriate for a television [[holiday special]].

''Holiday Special'' gives us some insight into the customs of Life Day.  [[Chewbacca]]'s wife prepares a feast, [[gifts]] are exchanged between acquaintances, [[candle]]s are burned [[ritual]]istically, and Wookiees don red robes and join into groups to observe the day.  [[Singing]] is involved.
