The season of eggnog and Yule beer and food that takes eighteen days and a monkey to make has begun and/or is coming to an end. I am sure various other seasons have come and went too, but like the ignorant European I am I do not know enough about these to make lame wordplay about them. So for now, I will focus mainly on the "Christian" season, but know that the spirit of my words is extended to all the other beliefs and traditions as well. So, anyway. Presents, decorations, spending time with the ones you care about, eating until you pass out, et cetera. And in a couple of days, we will celebrate / hide from / be punished or in other manners be forced to repent, in the form of gunpowder inside paper rockets and other quasi-terrorist contraptions exploding in our eyes and setting fire to our homes. Truly, the western civilization is magnificent.
I don't know about you guys, but for me the past month has been hectic and busy. To be frank I am kind of glad it is almost over. But it has been nice, and amidst all the commotion I have had a really good time, outright wonderful in periods. I hope the same is true for you.
Anyway, I am still busy so if you want more of a Christmas essay, send a PM to our own Auntie Korvannon and ask for some Chrimmuhs biscuits.
In other not-so-Christmas-y news, as some of you might know, Mino is hosting a combat tournament! It is not affiliated with the tournaments the Realm Council has hosted in some previous years, so you won't be bothered by pesky mods looking over your shoulder! Sign-ups opened recently, so stumble over to
the Player Consortium and stick your name and a link to your character sheet into the records.
Happy Holidays, Hidden Realms!
