hogfather

To change the image of a person from frightening/evil into a cuddly/cute/family-appropriate equivalent, keeping much of the form but none of the substance. Derived from the title character in the Terry Pratchett book, "Hogfather", who starts out as a symbol of barbaric executions and ends up as an equivalent to Santa Claus

Have you seen the Darth Vader Christmas Ornaments? That is some brutal hogfathering, right there.

The Hogfather

1. The Discworld's version of Santa Claus. He wears a red, fur-lined cloak, and rides a sleigh pulled by four wild boars, Gouger, Rooter, Tusker and Snouter. In earlier times he gave households pork products, and naughty children a bag of bloody bones.

2.Love Pig

Wow, he is like a modern Hogfather!

So, what did the Hogfather bring you Timy?
