Notes: Another for the Holidays Challenge at discworld100. Death's speech is writen in caps as it is in the books. Inspired by Hogfather and part of what will eventually be a series a drabbles. This one will actually come first I think. Or last. Haven't decided. : )

Death moved around the Dean's office and carefully placed an item in each of the stockings that were hanging from the mantle.
"They won't be impressed you know." Albert said as he looked about for the pork pies and sherry.

OH DEAR, said Death and he adjusted the cushion tied around his waist.
"There's bound to be all sorts of trouble." Albert added.
YES, BUT ISN'T THERE ALWAYS?
Albert looked at the "Men of Unseen University" calender that was sticking out from one of the stockings and resisted the urge to flee.
