"It's Christmas," Ray said. "Seasonal celebration of a religious festival that was basically a solstice celebration at its heart. Sort of a 'hooray, the sun's coming back and we're not all going to die in the freezing dark' kind of thing. People give presents, visit relatives, and eat inordinate amounts of food. Plus there's Santa Claus, but he'd take a while to explain."
He nods to Harper. "Yep. I know you know It's A Wonderful Life- any chance you ever heard of Miracle On 34th Street? This is where that movie took place."
