Well met
...and Seasons Greetings to everyone here at Candlekeep   I hope, whatever thy beliefs, that ye enjoy the festive season and have much merriment!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visits Candlekeep for the continued growth in the library and participation in discussions of Realmslore. Also, those who ne'er feel the need to put quill to parchment, but enjoy reading the scrolls and tomes herein, thank ye for visiting and keeping my fellow scribes busy 
Special thanks also go out to Tethtoril, for the many many hours of painstaking work in the chambers of Candlekeep, putting together the numerous scrolls sent in by travellers of the Realms. Also, to MuadDib and Kiarin DAleshan, for the great task of running the Candlekeep Inn. What a chore indeed
...and last but certainly not least, on behalf of all here at Candlekeep, I would like to give best wishes and deepest thanks to all the Forgotten Realms authors and game designers who have graced us with their presence, who have been kind enough to share their thoughts and news with us, and answer the many questions from their fans. It is indeed a great honor to have ye all with us.
So heres to a new year, I'm sure it will be just as great as this one  Best wishes, Seasons Greeetings, and MANY MANY thanks to ye all. |

^_^ Hullo everyone! Feels good to be back in these dusty old halls. I'm only stopping through, I'm afraid - there's no central heating here, and I have poor circulation. Why else do you think I have such grey skin?
But to the point at hand: Merry Christmas ladies and gentlemen and a Happy New Year to you. I'm glad to see the site is still running smoothly.
*Slips back out into the chilly night air.*
Ahhh, welcome back, Sarelle. I sincerely hope that all is well. It is indeed good to see thee back at Candlekeep, I hope ye return back soon
Indeed. It is good to see that you have returned, Sarelle . I trust those duties which have kept you away from the library went well?

Well met
Aye, Sage, worry not, I merely wished to remind thee of thy pending chores

Well, I've just found out that this may no longer be a certainty. I'll simply have to wait until Tuesday to know for sure. Of course, this discussion about free time could all be moot anyway... Big Al may simply decide to allocate more duties to us in the meantime... 
Well met
Oh thou hast no free time Sage, for I still await thy scrolls penned for the Compendium

Unlike these slackers that loiter around the halls, some of us have to work. Alaundo's busy keeping us on a leash *cracks whip* while he sit's back and relaxes.
Sage gets an extra day off? Not fair!!! Well when I win lotto, I'll take a permanent holiday. |

Hail!
All of the pleasantries of this season have, traditionally, stemmed straight out of the culture and beliefs of the Teutonic peoples; whom since time immemorial have called this holiest of tides Yule (Old English Geola, Old Norse Jol).
Of course, to continue the long established (if briefly interrupted)Teutonic traditon of generous hospitality and goodwill to the stranger, I would like to extend my own good wishes and good will to all.
May the Yuletide find you all rich in kith and kin, in spirits and good cheer, and may your weal wax in the new year!
Hail Jol! And hail Jolnir, the jolly ol'one-eyed elf! |

Be well in this season of holiday tidings. Be safe and most of all take some time to enjoy life.

Tethtoril...  . Well... ... Where has Alaundo been hiding you? Not in the dungeons I hope... slaving away on various compositions of lore...
Either way, it's nice to see you out and about (and out of your cage perhaps )...

Did I hear the possibilities for Christmas bonuses mentioned?
Yippee! Now I can purchase that toy plush doll of Alaundo that I've been saving up for... Own one of these cute little bearded seers for only... well, if you really want one, I guess you'll know the price for them .
Now if only they sold furry hamsters... I'd buy one of those in a second...
Giant Space Hamsters, or Miniature Giant Space Hamsters? I think I could hook you up with someone selling his Fire-Breathing Phase Doppelganger Giant Space Hamster... He said something about it barbequing his neighbor's Pekingnese.... |

He's so stingy, he won't even give out coal at Christmas. 
 Why'd I ever sign that contract? I should have known something was up when that red "ink" was used . . . . |

Hmmmmmm... well I would allow ye to put another coal on the fire, Bookwyrm, but as no flames are permitted herein... i'm afraid ye will have to go without |

A guy on the radio station I listen to said this last Friday:
"You won't find it in a public school or outside a courthouse, but you'll hear it here: Merry Christmas!"
Honestly, when Jews are complaining about taking Christmas out of Christmas, something's gone wrong.
