"Well, yes, of course -- there are Christians here, plenty of them. Only it seems quite a quiet holiday compared to some. There's a little chapel, you know, there's a priest who gives a service. And a few garlands about. I suppose some people must have parties with their friends, naturally. And oh, yes, I've heard something about Father Christmas as well." Well, Bahorel once told her a wonderfully absurd tale involving a valiant fight against a pillowcase monster who kidnapped Father Christmas, but... anyway. "But it's rather quiet, I think. And of course there isn't a proper church with bells, there aren't any markets, one can't see the city all alight."
Which is rather sad, all of it, now that she's saying it out.
