The Yule Festival is here and in full swing. There are dozens of feasts to attend to visit and decorations to behold.
Feasts and Festive Tables
No festival would be complete without a table laden with food; breads, butters, mutton, gravy, vegetables, cakes, pies, and more. A table with even a few of these is a grand feast indeed.

Decorations
A hallmark of any festival are the decorations you see among the homesteads and througout Middle-Earth. From lights strung across trees to wreaths hanging over hearths, it’s easy to feel holiday cheer when visiting neighbors.
Grand Rapids, MI (afternoon)
Winter-home (afternoon)
Bay City, MI (evening)

Gifts
Beautiful wrappings, bright bows, and mysterious shapes; who doesn’t love gifts? Whether giving, receiving, or simply decorating with festive boxes, there is something for everyone during the Yule Festival.

These entries are awesome :3
(especially that very neatly wrapped gift; if you had done a photo comparison of one here, it wouldn’t have performed quite as well next to the Shire gift box…

My house could surely not compare to such lovely yule celebrations. The decorations are lovely, both pixelated and non-pixelated.
