Merry Christmas, hobbit_of_narnia! Thank you very much for alerting me to the size of your chimney again this year; the front door was most certainly the better entry point. (Thank you also for the gift of oats for my reindeer. Most folks forget that they really do all the heavy lifting and need to refuel!)

But now, the reason for my visit! I have here some YouTube links for playlist-type videos of music by Adrian von Zeigler. He's got a couple of genres (each represented by different playlists), but it makes for excellent background music. I hope you enjoy!

Well, Ariel, I certainly hope you've been having a good Christmas season so far! I found these for you:

I have found a few more things for you, hobbit! This time, perspective-based background drawing tutorials as well as a couple tips-and-tricks videos for character design and digital art.

And for you, Narniac...I seem to remember you requesting sets. You also said something about Susan Pevensie?

Merry Christmas! (And incidentally, the gingerbread you set out is fantastic. Some of the best I've ever had, and I've gotten to try quite a lot over the years!)

Ariel, I found some recipes for you!

I have here a set for hobbit! Your letter mentioned that you like the character of Beleg, so I had my elves do a little research so I could craft this for you. They're still researching some of the others on your list, so there are more to come!

For Jesusgirl4ever, from Father Christmas. Enjoy!

My good hobbit, I have come with the promised additional sets of Silmarillion characters! I present you with Maedhros, Turin (though I acknowledge that the quote is not his own), and Gil-Galad.

I'm awfully sorry, Narniac, that I haven't brought in much for you yet. But here, I found a couple of sets that seem to be for you. 🙂 You mentioned Sméagol...Tumnus...yes, I'm positive these are yours. Merry Christmas!

I have more gifts for hobbit! I can't recall if you've read any of these or not (there are an awful lot of people to keep track of, you understand), but I have here three Lord of the Rings fanfictions for your reading pleasure.

This sweet Sam-and-Elanor fic by our own Elanorelle: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10826283/1/You-Can-Be-Brave
This crossover fic starring Aslan and Frodo: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8657785/1/Known-By-Another
This "tenth (and eleventh) walker" fic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2049369/1/In-Aragorn-s-Safekeeping (Warning! This fic is rated T for violence and one case (that I recall) of mentioned but not-graphic adult content; if there is language, I do not remember it, but I don't believe there are any cases of heavy swearing.)
