Right. So this 'christmas' is something from the City, right?

So why hasn't anyone mentioned Hogswatch yet?

I reckon it's cos no-one knows what it is.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

You're not having me on, are you?

[Voice]

[justcautious]

No. Or, I reckon you know what it is. If it's sommat an' you're not just 'avin' ME on.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

No, it exists back on the Disc, it's just-

Well, basically, on Hogswatch night, the Hogfather drives his sleigh pulled by four little pigs throughout the Disc, giving people sausages if they've been good and generally delivering joy and merriment. Unless you've been [a slight pause here, as though it were tough to say these next words] a bad boy.

[Voice]

[justcautious]

Pigs? Sausages? [Chris is not sounding very much like he believes this. It's too ridiculous and too close to Father Christmas.] ... An' what happens if you've been bad, then? Coal? Or sommat else related to 'ogs?

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

Coal? That'd be helpful, though, especially in the cold. Why would that be a bad present? No, you get a bag full of bloodied pigs' bones. [Although, for certain people that was a fun gift, too. Wolfgang always laughed and laughed whenever the bag came for him.]

[Voice]

[justcautious]

Euugh. Yeah, well, I dunno about the coal. S'just tradition. You serious about this Hogswatch thing?

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

Yes. I am.

What's Christmas, then, aside from coal?

[Voice]

[justcautious]

Mostly the same. Only it's Father Christmas instead of an 'ogfather and 'e flies usin' reindeer, not pigs.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

That does sound pretty similar. Why the reindeer, though?

[Voice]

[justcautious]

...maybe cos there's loads of 'em up north where 'e lives? I dunno.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

I guess that makes sense, then. Where does he live?

[Voice]

[justcautious]

The North Pole.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

I don't suppose that I should be surprised that I've never heard of it.

[Voice]

[justcautious]

Oh....right. Well, it jus' means as far north as y'can get.

[Voice]

[badhairlifetime]

Ah. Right. [What is this north? This is unhelpful. But she'll figure it out; look it up somewhere, so she can at least seem somewhat knowledgeable in case it comes up again.] Thank you.
