Ho ho ho! It's the festive season, and that means diving into the myths and legends of Christmas. Is there something we can learn from jolly old Saint Nick for use in fantasy RPGs? Let's find out!

In this episode, I recommend the work of Benito Cereno.

What entity would be the closest analog to Father Christmas in Glorantha?

That's a really good question. A folk character that transcends individual mythologies... Trickster, maybe!

Hong Kong pawnbrokers also have traditional signs based on how generous they supposedly are -- the shape is the outline of a bat (which sounds like 'fortune' – many Chinese traditions are based on puns) carrying a coin (representing money).

I'm sad there are no adorable stories about a bat that leaves seasonal gifts. If nothing else, it's much more plausible one could get in your chimney.
