Can I talk to you about the importance of Hogswatch?

[quantumplum]

If you haven’t read Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather may i recommend it for your December reading? The Discworld’s version of Father Christmas is missing presumed …dead? And someone else has stepped in to take hold of the reigns.

If you can’t figure out why someone would want to assassinate a rosy nosed, white whiskered, winter gift giver then read this book.

If you are puzzled why the Grim Reaper would then moonlight delivering presents to all the good boys and girls then read this book! 

If you ever wondered why humanity puts such effort into making children believe in the Tooth Fairy, Bogeymen and a particular jolly, fat man when we all know they aren’t real… read this book. The ending blows your mind.

And on the morning of 25th December you must believe in the Fat Man otherwise… well, that would be telling!
