Keemhan's Tale
Posted on December 21, 2001 in UncategorizedDay 175, Year 544 of the Ascendancy
The holiday season is upon us, and holiday decorations are appearing
all around town. Wreaths of mistletoe can be seen hanging in front of
the doors of many of Puddleby’s prominent buildings, and many of the
trees are being decorated with scores of colorful ornaments. However,
what many exiles might not know, is that there are stories behind each
of these different decorations. Today the storyteller Keemhan came to
town, and told us the stories of three holidays– Skristmas, Bawkmas,
and Thoomas; from which the traditional decorations come from. My
favorite story was the tale of Skristmas, which involved the wise
Mystic Man’ta Claus, and his skristal-nosed starbuck Rudolph. Keemhan
comes out of the library every once in a while to share his tales, so
if yi see him in town, buy him an ale and ask him to relate to yi the
tales of the three holidays.
