The Rules!
The Longest Night!
Where Winter’s grasp its tightest, the frost is the most ravaging, that saps the warmth and life from all so foolish to ventured forth.
But for all its death cold, and the howling winds and the nameless things that lurk within the icy grip. For it is winter that allows the earth to lay in fallow slumber to be greeted by the first rays of rising dawn, The end of the old must in turn make way for the new.
The promise of dew, and the welcoming excoriating rain of renewal to chip away at what was, so that which is may take those first burgeoning steps.
enjoy the eggnog with Krampus in the corner as even the long night must give way to day!
Celebrate with both old and new, party with the forgotten and praise the coming day.
At dawn, Look to the East!
The rules are thus in our heartfelt offerings!
