You’ve set the date, you’ve cleared your schedule, and you’ve lined your undies- you’ve done everything in your power to prepare for the fast-approaching day. There’s one last thing we can do to help YOU. So that Ravenwood’s adventurers can be better prepared for the events of the day, here are some of the day’s activities.
Your Christmas mail to those in faraway places will be sent on its way to the mail carrier first thing in the morning. Hopefully your well-wishes will be ready to make the journey in our annual Christmas mail run!
Questing and exploring will be encouraged as always, with additional fun and games around town. As usual, decorating the Ravenwood Christmas tree is a town affair- supplies for the construction of new ornaments will be on-site! Let your creativity blossom!
Everyone’s favorite Christmas Festival game will be making its triumphant return this year. The Great Lutin Chase will be one to remember, the chase leading our players through the woods to catch the rascally Lutin- whoever that may be this time around.
Ravenwood dances will be back and bigger than ever, with the weather at last on our side. Expect one, two, three, or even more dances to learn and enjoy this year! This will be a dance-til-you-drop event, but luckily we have a feast to follow- unlike any you’ve seen before. With hearty food and drink for all, and a reading of the Christmas story.
Our annual tree-topping ceremony is also on the docket. The ancient Ravenwood Christmas Star will be put on the tree by Thokk this year, who miraculously won the honor after proving to all that he could hold his breath the longest. Silversmiths in Poke will be polishing the star on Friday so that it achieves maximum sparkle for the festivities.
Tournaments of all kinds will be enjoyed on the day of the festival. Swords, bows, and more will be utilized in feats of strength to prove the most skilled warriors in the land.
To close out the day, we will sing our classic Ravenwood Christmas tunes around the completed tree, including Auld Lang Syne and The Parting Glass. Be working on your pitch and refreshing yourselves on the lyrics!
Additionally, all attendees are welcome to attend the Sweet Rayne Christmas Party (held at a different location) beginning at 6:00 after the Ravenwood festivities. Questions about the party can be fielded by Mertag, Ada, or any of those fellows over six feet tall.
Don’t forget your stoutest boots and your fuzziest socks- we can’t set fires everywhere!
Huzzah!! A day that will long be remembered!! Can’t wait! Three cheers to the Planners, you’ve outdone yourselves!!
