Ho-Ho-NO.

So, Christmas is a time where children worship a strange tall man dress in red who rides a chariot?!

Hah! You've been keeping secrets from me Mun! You should have told me there was a time of year where I was important to children everywhere!

[Rider, no that's not what Christmas is-...]

SO! WHAT'S THIS ABOUT GETTING TO SIT IN A SMALL HUT ON A THRONE AND HAVING THEM TELL ME WHAT THEY DESIRE FOR THIS FESTIVE PERIOD? IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT JOB TO DO THIS CHRISTMAS EVE! PURGING AND TAKING GIFTS FROM THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED THEM!

IT SEEMS LIKE THE EXACT SORT OF THING A CONQUEROR LIKE ISKANDAR THE GREAT SHOULD GET INVOLVED WITH, NO?

Do not feel disheartened. I doubt very much so that one as jolly as yourself could ruin such a splendid occasion. If anything it would be merely a case of you not living up to your full potential. A tragedy for sure, but one not so grave as to be comparable to the ruin of a holiday.

The man these children "worship" as it were is called "St. Nicolas" or Santa Claus. Because he gives gifts to children of all ages, most people felt so inspired by his magnanimity that they followed in his footsteps until it eventually became tradition. Therefore, to summarize, the true meaning of Christmas involves giving gifts to others while dressed like so!

Umu! They are rather fetching, are they not? Though I cannot simply be the only one dressed for the occasion. Which is why I've taken the liberty of preparing some for you! I trust you will find them suitible.

[And out they come, a Santa-fied set of clothing similar to his non-casual attire. It's even got a hat and mantle. Where did she pull them out from? How did she get his size? There are some questions better left unanswered.]
