An urgent message looms over Ankh-Morpork—The Watchmenship—and in the air an exciting holiday mood is swarming like a storm. The city’s residents are busy preparing to welcome the holiday: tables are laid, trees are dressed, stockings and cushion covers are hung by fireplaces, and everyone waits for Santa Hryakus to arrive and bring the desired gifts to all good and obedient children. And of course he’s going to come!!! Gifts are already in the stockings, sherry is drunk, footprints on the carpet, traces of sleighs on the roof—everything is right……
BUT something is definitely wrong… Santa Hryakus is somehow strange: a pillow instead of a belly, a fake beard, and he himself is very thin and pale as… DEATH!!!
