"Christmas in the Neath! Hark to the tuneless singing of urchins. Wade through a drift of what Londoners pretend is snow. But beware! Mr Sacks stalks the streets, demanding gifts."[1]
Christmas is a familiar holiday celebrated in London, marked by the precipitation of a snow-like substance called lacre.
Mostly Familiar[]
At Christmas, Londoners tend to adhere to most Surface traditions; carols, gifts, mistletoe, holly wreaths, and splendid holiday feasts are all common even after the Fall. However, some traditions are unlike any seen above. Londoners who lack trees to decorate use huge mushrooms instead, and it's a relatively new custom for Londoners to write out their hopes and wishes on slips of paper, and stick them to statues of angels found in graveyards. Christmas cards are still commonly exchanged, but citizens are limited by the Bazaar to send only seven at most.
The Truth...?[]

The lacre that blankets London during Christmas is actually the weeping of the Echo Bazaar, as it suffers from what could be called seasonal depression. It is also implied that at this time of year, the Stone Pigs - the Bazaar's engines - begin to stir, and the Masters and some of the iterations of Mr Sacks must work to find ways to quell them.
