Call It Hogswatch

[daibhidc]

So,apparently, this is what happens if I work on the TV Tropes page You Mean Xmas and listen to Mitch Benn's Christmas album within close succession...

Tune: Call It Christmas, Mitch Benn

Call it Hogswatch, if you want to,
Call it Erastide, call it Bloopy,
Call it Hearth's Warming, if you find that charming,
It doesn't matter, just keep it hoopy.

Call it Sanguinala, if you'd rather,
Call it Keeper's Day or the Night of Lights,
Call it Winterfair, and nobody will care,
Whatever it's called, it's still alright.

It's not the name that matters,
The names don't count at all.
All fantasy midwinters,
Have the same festival.

In real life the cold season,
Means we need a festive glow.
And they have the same reason,
In every book and show.

Call it Feinkart, if that's close to your heart,
Call it Otherstide or the Crystal Feast,
Call it Jingle Day, if that is the thing you'll say,
As the Grinch carves the roasted beast.

Call it Snoggletog, as you drink your yak-nog,
Call it Life Day or the Festival of Bells,
Call it Sun Dance, and if I get just one chance,
I'll wish that your thing goes really well.
