"Interesting"
She then looks over at the man sticking stockings on people's heads. Her face showing her confusion.
"And it's traditional to put large socks on people's heads?"

It's traditional to hang stockings over a mantle. Not... Not this...
-
"To dry them from the snow?"
-
I believe that's where it started, but nowadays a man named Santa comes into your house, filling them with toys
-
"Filling socks with toys.... what an interesting tradition. Perhaps I should visit the living more often."
-
Yeah... Of course, when others celebrated Christmas, I was doing other things, since I'm not Christian
-
"Oh? Then what do you celebrate?"
-
Until now? Nothing. My father is a god to a different religion. A religion that I haven't had the best memory of

"How unfortunate, I've been in the afterlife bringing calmness to the dead so I know very little about the traditions and religions of this world. Your father is a God you say?"
-
Yes. His name is Garuud, God of the Underworld and Disciple of Flame to Deus
-
"Hmm, I've heard that name, I believe the lord of dead mentioned him."
-
Hmm? Oh, right. He is, uh, an ass, so to speak
-
"Unfortunate, perhaps he will be surpassed sooner than not. I've even heard of a twisted man interested in taking the throne of the underworld for himself."
-
Yeah, it was me.

"Interesting, well I wish you the best of luck" Outside of the corner of the eye Gerald can be seen trying to sneak up with a stocking at the ready.
-
*He smiles, forming an iron ball and throwing it into Gerald's stocking, knocking him back*

Gerald stumbles over falling into a seat. He looks in the stocking chucking to himself. "Well well, looks like I have balls of steel" And then wanders off looking for his next target. Ash looks at he strange man. "Is he always like this?"
-
I don't know...
-
"Well he does seem quite festive though perhaps a little strange"
