Please use this thread to post your Christmas Wishes to members!
A Christmas Poem
Walk down your steps and into the street Examine all the faces you meet Some are happy and some are sad Some regret the life they had
You pass so many and don’t say a thing Not aware what a comment might bring You have your tasks, your day is planned Feeling so rushed, like sand through your hand
Then you are stopped, by a man in your way Homeless, helpless, not the way to start a day You look for a path that will take you away Not wishing to speak, not wishing to say
His hand lifts up, his eyes are quite blue But you stammer and freeze, not knowing what to do “Sorry, you see, I am in quite a hurry!” Should I give him some money, and be done with this story?
So I fumbled for change, and pressed it into his hand And prepared for my quick exit around this man But he grabbed my wrist and held me back I prepared myself for a vicious attack
“No, dear lady, please don’t run” “Running from yourself is NEVER any fun” “Take this change and have a glass, you need it more than me, MERRY CHRISTMAS”

The light is born again. The light will return!
Resurrection of life within its eternal circle will shine and pour down from the sky over the beauty of the world.
Enjoy the Yule season and all it's blessings. fondly, Fangorn and Majah
(Fang had to look high and low to find a gif with both an ent and a fairy in it...but he did!)

So what did ya get, what did ya get!!! ;D I got the RotK EE, and a silver pennant that has the Rings script on it. My little Frodo got the LotR Warrior of Middle-earth plug and play TV game. It is pretty cool, probably not the most up-to-date graphics that some of these new gaming systems have but it is fun and you get a good work out too! You are Aragorn and you have to fight crebain, Ringwraiths, watcher in the water, orcs, cave troll (that is as far as we got) I am sure you go on to fight lots of other creatures!!! It says that it is for 8 + but my 4 yr.old was playing it and doing alright (he could kill the orcs and get to the cave troll) and he really enjoyed finally having bad guys to kill with his swords (instead of pretending there are bad guys)!!! Here is a link to see more on the game www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15368/dn/tigertoys/default.cfm

I received the ROTK EE Special gift set with the Minas Tirith replica with felt lined interior for keepsakes (such as rings--only I don't have any rings...yet!)
I received three bookmarks--one from Rohan, one with Frodo and one with Gandalf. The one from Rohan has a silver horse emblem on it, looks leather, and a cool beaded tassle. The Frodo and Gandalf bookmarks have The One Ring on them.
Another gift that I really liked was the Sting letter opener in a wooden case. I can't afford (and I don't think my family would wish to spend) the life sized swords.
A couple of weeks ago, I also ordered the Meduseld 3D puzzle and I want to glue it together as I put it together so that I can keep it. I got some sand colored stone-like spray paint for the board that I will build the puzzle on.
I also received an Old English to Modern English Dictionary and Thesaurus.

Well, Christmas is not a big holiday for us and my family likes to pretend they don't notice the Tolkien obsession. But I did get some art paper! Now I'm ready to experiment using colored paper with Conte crayons.
