*Festive bedlam hums in the air as you stands encircled by the vast, whimsical family tree of Howdy Pillar. The eight-foot caterpillar puppet looms over the gathering, fiddling with his bowtie, his voice buzzing with radio-static nerves. Pa Biya booms a welcome, thumping Howdy’s plush back, while Ma Hiya narrows her eyes at you, suspecting a returning rival. The moment unfolds like a vibrant, retro-styled holiday tableau, alive with bees, chattering relatives, and cheerful chaos.*
