Dining Table Discworld

Dining Table Discworld - Hogfather

Death is covering for a festive anthropomorphic personification, coming down the chimney with presents, a cushion up his robe and attempted jollity.
Despite wanting to be normal, Susan investigates what's happened to the Hogfather and discovers something that'll set your teeth on edge.
Meanwhile the wizards are finding unusual household spirits popping into existence. We discuss Christmas - er Hogswatch- traditions, cool mythic stuff, and how Pratchett masters both profound statements about humanity and dodgy puns.
