Wir sagen euch an den lieben Advent; sehet, die vierte Kerze brennt!

And it's Christmas Eve on top of the fourth of advent, too!

So, here's the final piece of art for the advent Sunday deal. Enjoy (I hope)?



This is, in case you didn't guess, from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Poem w/ translation will follow later, but I won't manage that today. So just a brief explanation on who's who: The green guy with the fugly horse is - surprise surprise - the Green Knight. On the table behind we have, from left to right: Iwain, Bishop Baldwin, King Arthur, Guinevere, Gawain and Agravain. The musicians behind the table are Maglor, Daeron and some random drummer, but they're not mentioned in the poem. ;)

Have some Middle English Christmas music to go with that! The English of the songs is closer to Modern English than the English of the poem, but they're the closest we can get. Have fun!

Merry Christmas to you too! *hugs*

And thank you for the gorgeous Christmas card! You could give Hallmark a run for their money. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the lovely drabble series; I'm always happy (and abandoning whatever I should be doing) when you post new fanfic, so, yay ^____^
*hugs back*

Enjoy? Uhm, no... squee and bounce with glee, more like. ^__^
Tolle Idee, tolles Motiv, tolle Umsetzung. Danke. :) Und Maglor und Daeron! Was will man mehr, ausser vielleicht einem ganzjährigen Adventskalender? :D

The horse may not be anatomically correct, but 'tis not fugly, no way.

Merry Christmas! *snugs you and sends hugs for Jörg and the kittens as well*
