| At Christmas, Londoners tend to adhere to most [[Surface]] traditions; carols, gifts, mistletoe, holly wreaths, and splendid holiday feasts are all common even after the [[The Fall of London|Fall]]. However, some traditions are unlike any seen above. Londoners who lack trees to decorate use huge mushrooms instead, and it's a relatively new custom for Londoners to write out their hopes and wishes on slips of paper, and stick them to statues of angels found in graveyards. Christmas cards are still commonly exchanged, but citizens are limited by the [[Bazaar]] to send only seven at most.

| The lacre that blankets London during Christmas is actually the weeping of the Echo Bazaar, as it suffers from what could be called seasonal depression. It is also implied that at this time of year, the [[Stone Pigs]] - the Bazaar's engines - begin to stir, and the [[Masters]] and some of the iterations of [[Mr Sacks]] must work to find ways to quell them.
