Snow falls on the castle turrets as servants rush to prepare the hall for the grand feast. In the village, shopkeepers and tradesmen display their wares. Delicious aromas waft from bakeries where dainty treats now cool, many destined for the palace tables.

Games are planned and songs are sung. Decorations festoon the throne room. In the village tavern, a bard practices on his lute, determined to attract the ears of the palace stewards and earn a chance to play before the king.

The nights are long but the days are merry. Will you attend the festivities of Christmas in the Castle?
