Yes, but Christmas. You get presents. Also there's always a lot of chocolate and other sweets and biscuits, but the presents, Hiccup!
[Gesticulating now because he's actually five-years-old and gets very excited about these things.]
The decorations, too, I suppose. Hogwarts really goes all out -- that's my school. They bring in twelve of these great big pine trees that have fairy lights all over them. Real fairies, mind. It snows from the enchanted ceiling and everlasting icicles are strung up all over the stairs. I don't usually stay at school over Christmas, my family either goes on holiday or we stay at the manor, but I had to stay for the Yule Ball last year and it was brilliant.
[Pauses.]
...Well, not last year, I guess that was two years ago now.
