Holiday decorating is more fun with a "helper" - right, Gwenno?
Spoiler: show




Gwenno says, "I was planning on drawing something else, but then my cat decided to make a nest for himself amongst the tinsel, and who am I to deny such inspiration!!! (and who doesn't love a blessed feline celebrating the season?)"

I think we all do around here!

I'm glad you guys liked my poem!

Wave, your contribution definitely gave me a laugh, and I love Clayres' scene (especially with the description! alas for poor Mikkel's illustrious cooking career, cruelly denied. and alas for the wasted boar.). Gwenno, that's a beautiful cat!

To me, cat is clearly saying, "This sparkly stuff is obviously mine. You are not going to touch it. I look splendid, don't I?"

I'm enjoying the mix of old and new! Some of the older stuff I've recognized, some I'd either missed or forgotten - probably the latter.

Decorating shenanigans continue with today's archived treat, brought to us all by Piney.
Spoiler: show

Piney based this piece off the tradition of the Christmas pickle: in the late 1800s in America, Woolworth's (the retailer) started importing glass ornaments from Germany shaped like fruits and vegetables. The myth behind the pickle was that it was an "old German tradition" to hide the pickle ornament somewhere on the Christmas tree, and the first kid to find the pickle would get an extra present. So here are the boys on Christmas morning - Reynir's happy he succeeded at something.

I’m glad to see Reynir happy, but frankly I like the other decorations more. And their sweaters are lovely!

I wonder what the extra present is! I bet Mikkel was the one who prepared it (the pickle 'tradition'  sounds like a Mikkel idea, anyway).

Some places you only visit once, others you can go back to again and again, finding something new each time.  Purple Wyrm shared with us one of the latter, well worth another visit!

Spoiler: show














Thank you, thank, please hand your translation headsets to the attendants, and ensure all members of your expedition party are with you (and not left behind in Reynir's crate, haha!).  Please give generously to our restoration fund, and travel safely!

Absolutely seconding Tehta! I enjoyed the museum guide immensely when it was first published, and I'm definitely glad to be prompted to read it again!
