Help others get into the Yule mood with hobbity surprises!
December is still a few weeks away, but some of us are already making preparations for the upcoming merry days. It is also time to start preparing this year's hobbity Yule calendar, a tradition that has been thriving for 9 years already.
As earlier, anyone is welcome to send seasonal hobbity entries that will be published from 1st to 24th December in the Hobbity Yule Calendar.
Here are some examples of individual entries:
A Yule-themed picture, slideshow, drawing, or a video made by you
A Yule poem, story, or a song
An introduction to a local Yule tradition from your region you’d like to share to other hobbits
• Your favourite Yule recipe
• Yule decoration ideas, riddles, games...
Feel free to get creative as well! Each entry is valuable, so don’t be shy to share your stuff.
Remember – this calendar can only happen if we get enough entries for it, so any help is very welcome! For inspiration, you can take a look at the older Yule calendars (available at the link shared above).
Let the Quickpost deliver your entries to Pycella (pycellawoodberry(a)gmail.com). Please send your entries as early as you can, ideally before December, so that the calendar preparations can be made in time. If you are planning an entry that you can only send later in December, please let us know so that we can plan accordingly.
This year's collective entry: childhood Yule!
Each year, we put together a festive slideshow video with a certain theme. This year, that theme is childhood Yule!
You can share pictures of your own childhood memories. They don't have to be pictures from your childhood – any picture that has a connection to your personal childhood works quite well. If you have children/grandchildren, you can also ask them what things they like about Yule the most – in addition to presents, of course. You may use photographs, screenshots, or your own paintings/drawings and also send multiple pictures.
Here are some instructions for your pictures:
Please send high-quality photos/pictures (1024×768 pixels at minimum).
Don’t add any effects/text to the photos themselves.
Along with the picture of the childhood Yule, please feel free to explain/describe it in more detail – we can use this information in the video too.
Please send the pictures to the address mentioned as early as possible – the video will be published close to the end of the calendar.
