[center][size=4][font=Georgia]The air is chilling to the core of your being yet filled with a lighthearted mirth that finds its way through the once sparse middle space of a market square. Now in place of the expanse are the beginnings of stalls being built, dragons hoisting planks of wood and decorative tinsel to wrap around posts. A growing sweetness wafts with the dawn alongside the birdsong. It is among the good nature of the morning you hear a calamitous laughter, followed by a hefty thud and a crash.
“Oh, Yule! Not again!”
Though the words are chiding there is laughter on the tail-end of her complaint. From the nearby clutter pops through a pair of lively Tundras - bounding spirited and jovial until one halts suddenly before you, burrowing paws skidding into the ground. His eyes widen in surprise, then his head tilts and he begins to smile.
“Oh!” He exclaims, while the other similarly coloured Tundra catches up. “Holly, look! Someone’s come!”
“Who?” The other Tundra, Holly, trots up to you with a curious glance. “Ooh, a visitor! You must be here for the December Kindness Challenge!”
She gives you a grandiose gesture, raising on her back legs to begin a tremendous bow, clearing her throat.
“My name is-”
“My name is Yule!” The male Tundra interrupts, and Holly’s expression sags with discontent. “And this is Holly, my older sister. We are both hosting the challenge this year!”
You look between them, their matching smiles and their familiar silhouettes. Yule gives his wings a flap and a stretch before his enthusiasm has him cantering steps around you.
“Shall I show you about the stalls? Can I?” He beams with optimism and does not wait for reply, looking to Holly. “I’m going to show off the stalls!”
“Make sure you mention today’s challenge, Yule!” Holly’s voice rises the moment Yule whisks you away to show you the grandeur of the growing market setup. Holly brings a paw to her muzzle. “The challenge, Yule! Remember!”
Yule does not turn to regard Holly to reassure her of his hearing her command, and instead trots through the market space pointing out various closed stalls and larger huts. Some are for meals and others are for trinket-selling, all currently set stalls glimmered with decoration befitting the winter period, and the obvious glee in Yule’s expression never once falters as he takes the time to prattle over each one, falling over his own words to clarify to the finest point the purpose of each stall. He stops speaking suddenly and his face drops into one of concern, tail giving a thud on the ground.
“Oh dear! I’ve talked your ear off, haven’t I?” Yule laments, fretful. “Oh, I’ve done it again! Holly is always telling me off for that. I’m sorry, please forgive me. I just-! I just get so excited about this time of year.”
He warms, then, his expression softening into a sweet laugh, tail coming to curl at his hind legs. Yule glances skyward to where the dawn colours shimmer in a cloudless above, and basks in the palette of pinks and purples and blues. He looks back at you with a serenity etched into the gleam of his eyes.
“I hope it snows a lot this year, don’t you? I love the snow.”
From behind you there is a distant panting that grows in exertion the closer the sound approaches. Holly, using the wind garnered under her wings, glides low to the ground, the scrape of her claws on stone almost muffling the huff of her breath entirely. Her gallops slow to a trot and then a pause, sitting herself down and raising a lone claw to wag in front of Yule.
“You didn’t listen to me, did you!” Holly grumbles. She turns to you and with a grin clears her throat once more, bowing her head to you. “Today marks the beginning event of the challenge! And as such we have a challenge for you to complete if you so wish!”
Yule, who had been sulking post-chide, perks immediately upon the mention of the day’s event. Holly smiles at the both of you.
“You must list those who have brightened your experience in Sornieth. In small ways, in big ways, in many ways, or only in one. Tell them how they have done so, ensure that they are most aware! We could all do with a bit of love and appreciation, couldn’t we?” Holly chuckles, and offers Yule a tussle of his mane, to which he staunchly rejects with a sneeze and a huff.
The distant bells shiver and chime, and the two Tundras perk in unison, Yule blurting out a gasp.
“We have to go!” He exclaims. “There’s still so much work to be done!”
Yule waddles into a better stance and takes off without warning, Holly’s expression shifting from gladness to shock and dismay. She looks at you despairingly.
“Please enjoy the first day!” Holly makes her way in her brother’s footsteps, hoping to chase after him. “It was a pleasure meeting you! Come and see us both whenever you like! We-! Oh, Yule!”
Holly spots his silhouette tumbling into decorations, and despite her best efforts she blurts a giggle of laughter, following quickly after him.
The market still has room to grow, but you are enveloped in its good spirit, listening to the gentle jingling of bells caught in murmurous wind.

Here we go! Let the 31 days of warm fuzzies begin! (Day 1 Challenge)
@
sinnohoe Hiya! Though we only talk occasionally, you're very sweet, and I enjoy talking to you about lore, and the beautiful projects you're working on. Pikaros and Lute continue to be two of my favourite dragons, and I really want to spoil them these holidays. You're a great friend, and I look forward to more fun in the future.
@
Aerai Hello! I just want to thank you again for making the place more beautiful with your art. It is excellent with its detail and style, and I'm hoping to commission you again in the future! (Maybe when I stop being lazy and finish my dress projects/lore lol) Have a wonderful holiday season!
@
Sheona Thank you so much for your patience in helping me melt numerous piles of material, and helping to make my goal of getting a Light Sprite a reality. It was my main goal to get it done by the end of the year, and I finally have the funds to do it thanks to your and Sinnoh's hard work in getting sludge for Boggy eggs to sell. I wish you all the best in your job and real life, as well as on FR, and happy holidays!
@
VioletFey Your ideas are very good, and I love the book-dragon concept that you've created! I've enjoyed discussing those ideas, and I'm hoping to get ahold of a Thousand and One Nights dragon one of these days. Would love to share them with you when I manage it!
Finally, @
Lallie you're absolutely wonderful for setting up this event for everyone, and I think it's a great way to spread the holiday cheer. I raise a cup of hot chocolate to you!
To everyone, thank you so much for being my friends, and for making my time on FR that much more fun. Here's to a celebratory season and a great year ahead!

@
swegnweg You're the first person I ever spoke to on here, and were a great help as I found my feet. Our conversation is wonderful, sometimes even making me cheer up after a hard day. You've shown me so many great songs, some of which are new favourites! You deserve to be the very first person on this list :)
@
demitri You created a wonderful rollocke which inspired me to try my own, which eventually led to me realising how much I adore writing! The rollocke was extremely interesting to read too, and you've created a wonderful world and characters
@
TheWorshipOnes You created an extremely funny FR meme thread, which has made me laugh a million times over! Memes are always extremely good when you're sad, so I think this counts as making FR a better place. Similarly...
@
Reefknot Your Galore free eliminate meme is single-handedly the funniest thing I have ever seen. I even have it screenshotted on my phone so I can look at it whenever. Although I have seen it probably more than a thousand times by now, it still makes me chuckle for a good minute upon seeing it!
@
SealterBloind You created the Honeytummies, an absolutely adorable name for an awesome species with excellent lore! Unfortunately I no longer have Stylus, but as soon as my nuzlocke is over you can bet I'm getting a million of them!
@
Xayxayx You were the first person to contact me once I begun my nuzlocke, and seem very enthusiastic about it, which in turn has made me excited about it! Writing feels even more fun when you know someone is interested in reading it :)
