	That might sound ridiculous, but at some point, Christmas became more than just an enjoyable festival.

For example, there were mysterious figures who generally only appeared on Christmas and who you never wanted to so much as encounter, like the dark Santa Claus that abducted bad children or the Kallikantzaros that was only active during the end of the year.

	And human psychology had a fascinating tendency to spread stories of misfortune more than ones of fortune.

	So the happier a time Christmas was, the more the dark joy spread of wondering about the people for whom Christmas was an unhappy time. Yes, joy. When people at a large party started wondering about the people who had no date to share Christmas with, they were generally imagining someone worse off than them to make themselves feel better about their own situation. There may have been a magician that provided that with a concrete effect at some point. Either to ruin Christmas or to make sure the event would never be forgotten.

	In fact, it was not uncommon in the world of magic for experts to give concrete form to something they encountered and thought was neat. Othinus ''who once destroyed the entire world' was not one to talk, but magicians had a tendency to cross some lines generally considered taboo.
