Thread: Merry Christmas and....
Planet Tolkien is archived and no longer updated, but the forums remain browseable. We have established a Telegram group for old and new visitors to stay connected and discuss all things Tolkien.
Happy holidays to everyone here, and to all of the people you love! Hope you get lots of wonderful, thoughtful gifts from friends and family and enjoy yourself throughout the holiday season.
Great job creating this thread Arwen.
Merry Christmas to you to, and I wish you all the best in the New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have wonderful days and best wishes for the coming year.
Merry Christmas everyone 
This thread was already there, so I thought to use it.
Without further epic chit-chat from the poet that is me, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone here upon this bastion of hope (thank you Balrogs) that is Planet Tolkien.
And well, a little poetry may also be in order.
Lit candles behind the windows
A gentle snowfall waits just outside
Songs of peace and hope sound across the land, the forests and their many meadows
As you gather around a christmas tree, side by side
With your spirits lifted up high
You too start to sing songs from the times past
And the northern star shines brightly in the sky
The moment to eat a bountiful meal is nigh
May this Christmas Eve be as beautiful as the last
Well now. It's Christmas again. Those of you who celebrate, happy Christmas. Those of you who don't...festivities. Have and enjoy them. Or don't. The point is that everyone is happy, right? This is the time of year when we make sure we are all happy, so I guess just be sure to help your friends and family be happy and hope for reciprocation.

A Christmas Candle
Copyright 1975, 2014 by Gandalf
Oh, light a Christmas candle
Upon the Christmas tree,
And leave it there a-shining
For someone else to see.
Oh, sing a Merry Christmas
For everyone to hear it;
There is nothing so miraculous
As old-time Christmas spirit!
Caroling under bearskin
On a twilight cutter ride,
While all around the white goose down
Swirls as we glide.
Looking up we see on high
The star of Bethlehem,
Remembering that first Christmas
When shepherds worshiped Him.
As homeward-bound we turn,
The gladden church bells ring,
Announcing far and wide once more
The Day of which we sing.
Infant Christ in manger humble
Smiles upon this joyous sight,
And grants peace to all His children
On Christmas, yes, Christmas Night!
So light a Christmas candle
Upon the Christmas tree,
And leave it there a-shining
For someone else to see.
Indeed, Curufinwe. I always wish people happy christmas, 'cause so many believe in the day in so many different ways.
I, however, share different beliefs, but those I keep to myself.
As for the little poem, just felt like writing something for people, 'cause that's what I do 
Merry Saturnia to all!
I'm so sorry for being too late to wish you all a merry christmas. 
I hope you've all had some wonderful time with family, friends or if you prefer on your own.
Happy new year to every single one of you! May Eru bless you.
Arwen you silly lady you created this thread on Christmas Eve! You're not late at all! If anything you were early...
Me on the other hand... 
Merry Xmas everyone and Happy New Year. Glad so many of you are still pushing PT and not letting it fall into the depths of the internet. So many great people here, if that ever happened I would lose all faith in the internet for the rest of my days.
Best wishes to all of you and I look forward to a new year of Tolkien talk.
