Hullo!  I’ve come out of hiatus for one short story.  Actually, I didn’t intend for my hiatus to last this long, but RL has a way of intruding for extended periods of time.  Who knows?  I may post another story later in the year.

This story was written for my dear friend, Grey Wonderer, as a Yule-fic Exchange.  Happy Yule, GW!  Hope you like it.

Bear with me; my Muse is quite out of shape and a bit rusty.  As always, I’m no professional writer; I merely tell a tale as best I can while getting a kick out of writing it.  My grammar sucks but I enjoy my hobby, lol.

On a side note, I once wrote a story for Marigold’s Tale Challenge way back in 2005, I think.  It’s titled, “There’s Always Hope”.  Although this Yule story stands on its own, if you can find “Hope”, Degger’s storyline there might accent his storyline in the Yule tale.  If I can locate “Hope”, I’ll post a link to it here.

Happy New Year!  Enjoy!

Thanks to Grey Wonderer for searching the Challenges!  Here is the link:
