“So Frodo, are you going to tell me what you found?” Merry smirked, mischievously.

“Seems a bit pointless now, Meriadoc, but if you must know, I found a great many boxes in the cellar just filled with lovely Yule decorations!” Frodo said, sarcastically, as he helped Merry untie Pippin.

“Well, be careful with them, Frodo. If they are anything at all like these ones, then they could fall on you and you could get all hung up in them.” Pippin warned quite seriously.

Author Reply: I'm glad this gave you a laugh. This was the first Yule fiction that I ever wrote and it is good to see that it still holds up well. Thank you for reading!

Small children and presents just seem destined to bring disasters somehow. Lovely reissue of a story I just love anyway.

And Pippin's warning Frodo about what might happen if he's not careful with the decorations he found? Hehehehehehe!

Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed this one again. Yes, Frodo got his warning a bit too late, didn't he? LOL

Silly little hobbit. He should learn not to scout around for Yule gifts since you could turn into a Yule decoration for it!

Author Reply: You know how it is with curious Tooks. They are into everything all the time. LOL

Thanks for the response GW but what I actually meant was, What was Frodo doing looking in the cellar AFTER everyone else seems to be in bed, if not quite asleep? It doesn't sound quite like a legitimate errand for that time of night! *g*

Author Reply: Oh, I always think of Frodo as a bit restless and the sort to be up and wondering around when everyone else is asleep. I figured that since he was older that he would be up after Merry and Pippin were asleep. As to why he originally chose the cellar to roam about in, well, I never did explain that. I'm not sure I considered it when I originally wrote this one.

Pippin makes a very cute Yule fairy. Perhaps he should sit at the top of the tree! And I can see where Merry learned his Yuletime threat to sleepless hobbit lads.

Author Reply: Yes, Merry was quoting the words of his father but the trouble is that Pippin didn't take him seriously on his threat. LOL I think Pippin would have made a great tree topper, except I suspect that they would never have gotten him to sit still. Happy Holidays!

Mostly I like my imagination just fine but, just occasionally, I wish I had a camera in ME! Great stuff GW - Now! Just what was Frodo doing down there anyway?

Author Reply: Frodo found the Yule decorations and then left his lantern when he went up to get Merry so that he could show him all of the old decorations but a certain little Took beat Frodo to the decorations while Frodo was waking Merry. LOL

Oh, I remember this one! I love grumpy!Merry. That lad *really* doesn't like his sleep interrupted, does he? And Saradoc was a hoot! Thanks for reposting that here!

Author Reply: I figured that with Pippin all excited that Merry was low on sleep and I know that makes me grumpy. LOL Thanks for reading again and Happy Holidays!

Poor, poor Pippin! Poor little dear, caught up in tinsel when he was JUST being that fool of a Took we love so!

Author Reply: Just being a Took gets Pippin into more trouble! Happy Holidays!
