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.

Ember and singed	The Goblin King has his own court	and heralds	This is Travis
Isn't this a fantastically simian coat	An equilibrium check	Doing it from the other side for balance	Isn't she sweet
I guess she is	More courtly revels	Featuring special visitors	from the north
These patrons as "elemental" fairies	Properly Pendragoned	A closer look at the armor of the Lord Governer	The final joust of death on closing day at this matchless arena
