Tolkien quote of the day:

It came to pass that when Aragorn was nine and forty years of age he returned from perils on the dark confines of Mordor, where Sauron now dwelt again and was busy with evil. He was weary and he wished to go back to Rivendell and rest there for a while ere he journeyed into the far countries; and on his way he came to the borders of Lórien and was admitted to the hidden land by the Lady Galadriel.

bullet Yule Mathoms 2005 by Gwynnyd Last Updated: 1/5/2006
Juno-Magic and Aranel Took offered a Yule challenge in 2005: a different prompt to write about for each day of December leading up to Christmas as "mathom" presents for everyone. I took up the challenge and wrote something for each suggestion. Some of these twenty-four chapters are silly, some are serious, all were a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy them!
