Explain this holiday to me now, please. You know the one. The one with snow and trees and overweight men in bad suits with worse facial hair. I'm new! I don't know these things!

Your whole family tries to make you realize how unworthy you are of the traditions and callings to which you were born. They all get drunk, but you're underage. On Boxing Day, everybody but you has hangovers and is in an even filthier mood than the day before.

I'm considering becoming a pagan and burning people in cages instead.

You could help me burn people alive. Or cut mistletoe, if you prefer; I think the bonfires are strictly a midsummer and harvest observance.

A parasitic plant that grows on oak trees. The berries are poisonous. It's symbolic; the arrow used to kill Balder was made from mistletoe.
