Closed out the 31st season of the faire in glory and style. The theme was a Celtic Christmas and it felt like the whole faire got into the spirit of it. Yuletide music filled the air, the grounds and shops were filled with seasonal decorations-as were some participants-and of course Father Christmas. And perhaps even more than one. There was also plenty of out of town visitors to help make this the busiest and most fun weekend of the season.

I have absolutely no idea what this is	At dusk, I encountered the Goblin King	and patrons of his work	As well as more of Rebecca's on her son Dart
A little tough to see the incredible fabric on this cloak	The Beefeaters dressed for the holiday, holly & all	Quite the Cinderella carriage	Another Father Xmas or just a wiseguy?
No shortage of serfs at Lord Entropy's	Well, it's different	Even the fairies are in a holiday mood	Scratch being a one note, I mean, hit wonder
Kyle appearing refined and noble	Some stylish swashbucklers	Well someone wasn't ready to go yet	Rounding out the procession
