The Discworld's midwinter festival, occurring at the turn of the year. Children leave out a glass of wine and a pork pie for the Hogfather, who arrives with a sack of toys to the sound of hog bells. Houses are decorated with an oak tree in a pot and strings of paper sausages. It is generally the occasion for festivities of a let's-get-the-whole-family-together-and-have-a-row nature.
