This story has been languishing on my pc for several years, because, come Yuletide I always forget to finish it and then it's too late.

This year, because GW mentioned Thluggul in her lovely story "A Grove in Buckland" I remembered it in time. So thanks to her for that. And check out her story if you haven't already - you'll like it!

Thanks to Marigold for the beta.

Here are the Notes:

*Thluggul, the Yuletide Dragon was first mentioned in "A Partnership in Villainy (his purpose is pretty self-explanatory).

**"The Wizard's Chair" was a large chair, graciously imported from Bree to accommodate Gandalf – See "Big Enough to be Thain".
